True Story:

For the past several months (year?), this site has been on ignore as I rethink life, bigger things, and new family.

Meanwhile, I just saw a notice that I need to upgrade Squarespace to sell to customers. Lol, this I did not know. But hey was a nice break.

Solid design, reliable, very useful pro gear. The price is too low btw, but I’ll honor the sales price ($499/$599) if you contact me personally and have unique skills with a crowd. We can maybe work a deal. These are now listed at the original price sold already at NAMM and online for $700 and $800 (Wah version).

The audience message was loud and clear at NAMM to “keep going”, “genius” and “revolutionary”. So it’s my move to post something on Social Media after being silent for 2 yrs. Until then, it’s your move to give me a call, txt, or eMail (see About for contacts). Still for sale, still awesome, it’s a cool hobby now.

Background:

A total of 15 SoulPedal production units were hand/machine made in my home (soldered, CNC machined, 3D printed, cut, cast, cured, marked, serialized, painted, assembled, and tested). Only 7 units have the Wah built-in and all were painstakingly made for market interest which was quite high. However, additional production is not planned. The remaining are for sale and are quite rare and reliable. Still zero field failures on this design. Custom projects also welcome.

Creative? Read on:

So far, half of the 15 were sold at NAMM and online before some personal life changes happened. Last year, I learned I have a 45 year old son with grandkids in Fla (DNA match). Best thing ever! Since then, I’ve reorganized my Factory (yes, there is a SoulPedal semi-automated Factory in my garage) and organizing all the components I bought from China a while ago.

The Pedal is an extremely lightweight and flexible TPU printed outer, with a core that can be swapped for different outer sizes or even the other foot (left foot is special request only, same pricing).

As products go, the remaining few are very functional and useful. Straight out of box, insert a 2032, add 9V, and it’s a remote control for Expression and MIDI using simple gestures, pressure modulation (foot angle optional in setup), and provides full remote control on practically any rig with simple Exp or MIDI in. You don’t even need the Box to be on stage.

The Audio version also includes an Analog Wah using authentic Dunlop Crybaby components isolated by a “light curtain” (optical), tone ranges, LED smart-color feedback, and optional Haptic vibrations make this about as ideal as it gets. Press the Box pad and the color indicates which effect it’s ready to control. Wah, Volume, Expression, and/or MIDI, basic or custom. All models have foot control dynamics (feel) are adjustable live on the Box with simple knobs.

Once you have the hang of it, download the SoulPedal Board App (Windows) for some eye-opening original setup features. Animations that match foot motions real-time let you see the actions in Monitor Mode. Switch to the Pedal or Box Controller for specifics on everything you could possibly think of where virtual controls are needed.

I provide an open line and have been known to show up in person to help setup. This is about creative design, manufacturing, and a new avenue for the Performing Arts.
