What is Control Freek? An electric guitar effects pedal controller.
Similar in function to Boss(tm) ES-8, BUT the Control Freek uses two pieces: a breakout box and a stomp box to allow the electric guitar effects pedals to be mounted on a shelf or rack drawer AT ARMS REACH - WITHOUT BENDING OVER TO TURN KNOBS and still providing foots witch controls.
Check out the USer Manual PDF for a more detailed description!!
Includes:
- PURE analog - no digital sampling - preserves your sound - Handles over-driven signals up to ~3Vp-p!!
- Main Input (from guitar)
- Main Output (to amp)
- SEVEN Pedal Loops - Connect up to 7 guitar effect pedals and control on/off and change the order!! Daisy chain more "Breakout" boxes for infinite pedal control!! (Why do I call it Control Freek?)
- FOUR Auxiliary Audio Outputs (for more guitar amps, mixer or guitar tuner pedal)
- SIX Foot switch Outputs - ISOLATED RELAY controlled Normally Open switches to control external audio effects such as amp built-in effects, rack mounted devices, or guitar effect pedals with foot switch inputs - works like anywhere a foot switch can plug in!
- Storage for over 100 custom pedal loop configurations (total TBD) ** Select which pedal loops are active... and change the order! ** Each Song includes custom foot switch config ** Each Song includes custom MIDI messages
- Loop config select foot switches and "Trick Shot" and "Dive Bomb" foot switches for customizing control (only "Trick Shot" included on prototype pictures)
- Configure via Bluetooth and Android Open Source Application (this .git). iPhone and Windows support is planned!! Developed using Qt. (Developed and Tested on Linux too!)
