BIAS Pedal Distortion

For over half a century, distortion has defined the sound of Rock and roll. From the first fuzz stompboxes to the latest high-performance distortion racks – that unmistakable sound of an overdriven electric guitar has conquered millions generation after generation. With this heritage in mind, BIAS Pedal reinvents distortion in a whole new way, changing the way musicians perform, record, and create on the guitar.

Tone Match Any Distortion Pedal

Dive into your dream tone instantly by matching your favourite distortion, overdrive, fuzz, and boost pedals. BIAS Pedal Tone Match technology analyzes and compares your currently selected pedal and the sound of a target tube pedal. It then executes the tonal compensation and enhancements needed to make your pedal’s sound accurately match that of the target pedal.

For the first time ever, you can easily design and modify your custom distortion pedal at the most detailed level – from the input volume to the distortion stages and gain control, to pre and post EQ and much, much more. You can even change the pedal’s virtual guts as you would do with a real distortion pedal: modify your boost pedal’s germanium transistor or tweak your fuzz pedal’s silicon transistor.

BIAS Pedal’s extremely intuitive operation uses the world’s most famous distortion pedal circuit layouts, so you can create your custom distortion pedal in a breeze.

BIAS Pedal Delay

BIAS Pedal first rocked the guitar world with its embedded guitar-tone booster, the groundbreaking BIAS Distortion. Now comes the second storm: BIAS Delay. Wrapped in the same expandable BIAS Pedal shell as BIAS Distortion, BIAS Delay lets you quickly and easily design thousands of custom delay pedals from scratch—giving you a seamlessly integrated ecosystem of effects and distortion pedals.

BIAS Delay is all about time-based effects—coloured with every timbre imaginable. Choose among four delay types to start: Standard for pristine digital delays, Tape for a saturated vintage sound, Ping Pong for cruise ship-wide echo trails, and Reverse for ear-bending backward envelopes. Manual delay times from 1 to 3000 ms dish out every kind of delay-based effect from doubling to slapback to long echoes arriving from the next zip code. In the studio, sync BIAS Delay to your DAW for delay times ranging from a 32nd-note to a whole note, including dotted notes and triplets.

Full-bodied, creamy tone is just a knob twist away in BIAS Delay. Saturation and analogue-tone controls add density and girth to the Delay Stage’s input signal. The Power Module’s full-featured compressor pushes your riffs to the front of the band. Adjust your pedal’s virtual power source to deliver 18 volts for a relaxed, supple sound, or 6 volts to make your guitar tone sound like a beast straining on a leash! Use the Delay Stage’s treble and bass controls to shape the tone of only the delay signal from bright to midrange-y to bass-heavy, while leaving your dry guitar tone untouched. Two 8-band graphic equalizers can be placed at various points along the signal chain with drag-and-drop ease to finely sculpt your overall tone. BIAS Delay gives you infinite tonal possibilities in a fast, intuitive interface.

BIAS Pedal Modulation

Like its ground-breaking predecessor BIAS Distortion and BIAS Delay, BIAS Modulation lets you quickly and easily design thousands of custom modulation pedals from scratch, and expand your BIAS Pedal arsenal for a seamlessly integrated ecosystem of distortion, delay and modulation effects.

Wrapped in the same expandable BIAS Pedal shell as BIAS Distortion and BIAS Delay, BIAS Modulation is available both as a cross-platform plug-in and iPad app, which travels effortlessly between stage and studio. And of course, it’s ToneCloud-ready. Upload and share your unique modulation pedals on the ToneCloud social network, and download thousands of modulation sounds from fellow musicians around the world. With a rich and comprehensive effect types and customisation possibilities, BIAS Modulation covers every ground – and beyond.

Get ready to craft your own soundscape from a comprehensive collection of modulation effects including Chorus, Vibrato, Flanger, Rotary, Phaser, Tremolo, Pan, RingMod and Autoswell. Go from subtle, analogue-sounding vintage chorus to over-the-top tornado and anything in-between. The Power Module’s full-featured compressor pushes your riffs to the front of the band. Adjust your pedal’s virtual power source to deliver 18 volts for a relaxed, supple sound, or 6 volts to make your guitar tone sound like a beast straining on a leash! Experiment with different LFO waveforms from warm sounding Sine wave, edgy Triangular wave to stutter-ish Pulse(square) waveform. Two 8-band graphic equalizers can be placed at various points along the signal chain with drag-and-drop ease to finely sculpt your overall tone. BIAS Modulation gives you infinite tonal possibilities in a fast, intuitive interface.

BIAS Modulation allows you to mix and match from two groups of modulation effects: 1st module includes time and filter-based effects (Chorus, Vibrato, Flanger, Rotary, Phaser), 2nd module includes amplitude modulations (Tremolo, Pan, RingMod and Autoswell), therefore, you can add a little chorused flavour to your tremolo, or create some truly unique, over-the-top sounds such as a heavily flanged stutter sound with slow attack. In the studio, sync BIAS Modulation to your DAW’s global BOM for modulation rate ranging from a 32nd-note to a whole note, including dotted notes and triplets.
