Positive Grid Introduces BIAS Modulation Pedal

Positive Grid BIAS Modulation Pedal

Positive Grid has expanded their pedal range with the BIAS Modulation. The standalone pedal has nine built-in effects – Chorus, Vibrato, Flanger, Rotary, Phaser, Tremolo, Pan, RingMod and Autoswell – that can be mixed and matched to create unique sounds.

It has intensity, depth, and rate controls as well as tap tempo and LFO controls for dialing in your sound for each effect. An expression pedal input lets you adjust on the fly, while the use of a MIDI Clock will let you sync up with other BIAS pedals.

The pedal has three preset banks that store up to ten presets each for quickly recalling your creations. Each of the parameters can be tweaked with either desktop software or an iPad app, which also allows access to sharing and downloading presets via the Positive Grid ToneCloud social network.

The Positive Grid BIAS Modulation pedal will be available soon with a street price of $349.
