Having a handful of percussion samples on hand ? or rather, on foot ? is a convenience that turns average performances into full-fledged star-material showpieces. And with the Meinl Percussion Effects Pedal from Sweetwater, you’ve got a footboard-activated sound bank that houses five exciting electronic drum sounds, including Pop, Doom, and world-famous SDS and 808 Sub/Soft kick drum samples. Aboard the pedal module, additional controls for sample Sensitivity and Volume let you curate the impact of each sample to match the music at hand. Its lithium-ion battery recharges with a simple USB-C link; meanwhile, the 1/4-inch jack connects to mixers, amps, and more to deliver your percussive secret weapons however the performance requires. This Meinl Percussion pedal sounds fantastic on its own or when paired with other electronic controllers, yet it also makes an exceptional companion to live acoustic kits for adding versatility and making a lasting impact on your audiences!
