With a new gradual optical control system, the iconic brass pedal responds smoothly across its full range, closer than ever to the feel of a real piano damper. Auto Layer Catch lets you simply press and play whilst the pedal’s engine detects and stacks new notes as you perform, without any manual catching.

Players didn’t just use it for guitar. They used it for harp, vocals, acoustic piano, brass, strings, and sounds no one had thought to sustain before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PLUS Pedal II starts from that same idea and rebuilds everything around it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA New Kind of Sound Engine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt around a completely new Spectral Sampling™ engine, PLUS Pedal II doesn’t just hold notes. Unlike other sustain\/freeze pedal alternatives, it analyzes them at the spectral level, preserving the subtle harmonic and dynamic characteristics of every sound you play. Working alongside the original Real-time Audio Sampling™ technology, the result is an experience that feels both natural and instantly responsive, preserving the expressive nuances of your performance across any musical instrument or vocal, while seamlessly extending them into evolving sonic textures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWHAT'S NEW\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpectral Sampling™ Engine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA brand-new algorithm captures the true timbre, dynamics, harmonics, and character of any input with stunning realism — preserving the expressive nuances of your performance and extending them into evolving sonic textures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAuto Layer Catch\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep your foot on the pedal and just play. PLUS Pedal II detects new note events, filters out noise, handles transitions, and stacks sounds with remarkable musical accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result feels natural.
