{"product_id":"musictoner-altomusic-mr-black-pedals-doubletracker-stereo","title":"Mr Black Pedals DoubleTracker Stereo","description":"\u003cp data-end=\"577\" data-start=\"112\"\u003eIn late 2023, Mr Black Pedals had a cool idea for a compact pedal, based on a recording technique pioneered in the 1950's… This radical, yet deceptively simple technique elevated great recordings to downright incredible, enhancing the depth, character and tonality through a process called Double Tracking. This simple, yet elusive concept was initially executed by recording a track twice and overlaying the two [nearly] identical takes on top of each other.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp data-end=\"811\" data-start=\"579\"\u003eFast forward 70-some years and Mr Black Pedals can now create \"double-tracked\" sounds in real-time, delivering the full, rich and complex intensity that was once only possible by employing slick studio tricks during a session!\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp data-end=\"990\" data-start=\"813\"\u003eThe 2023 compact DoubleTracker was an instant hit, and Mr Black Pedals received a ton of feedback and praise regarding the pedal, but there was a reoccurring theme within…\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp data-end=\"1010\" data-start=\"992\"\u003eMake it STEREO!!\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp data-end=\"1188\" data-start=\"1012\"\u003eWell, it wasn’t easy, but Mr Black Pedals is VERY proud to say: \u003cstrong data-end=\"1088\" data-start=\"1080\"\u003ethey\u003c\/strong\u003e did it! And it sounds marvelous. (Literally marvelous, as in something one will marvel at\/about.)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp data-end=\"1797\" data-start=\"1190\"\u003eThe DoubleTracker Stereo is now here, offering an expanded doubled-signal delay (on the primary\/left channel) ranging from 3ms - 178ms, and just like the original, the DoubleTracker Stereo affords the ability to augment the tuning of the second\/doubled track by up to +\/- ½ of a semi-tone. The DoubleTracker Stereo further expands on the magic of the original by including two discrete, individual and isolated signal paths (primary\/left, and secondary\/right), creating a truly rich and organic expanse of your instrument. (This thing sounds great on bass guitars, keys, and even vocals or in the studio!)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp data-end=\"2175\" data-start=\"1799\"\u003eThree simple yet powerful controls allow players to quickly dial in the intensity, latency and variance of the second track(s). This smart approach instantly brings fullness, vitality, and character to a passage or song. It's almost like chorus, almost like slap-back, and yet at the same time: it’s neither of those effects, nor a combination of them. It’s Double Tracking.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp data-end=\"2245\" data-start=\"2177\"\u003eIt sounds downright incredible, but this pedal doesn’t stop there!\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp data-end=\"2436\" data-start=\"2247\"\u003eThe DoubleTracker Stereo features two modes of operation: SYNC and COMP, as well as a fast-action preset and Mr Black Pedals\u003cstrong data-end=\"2376\" data-start=\"2356\"\u003e’\u003c\/strong\u003e super-easy-to-use EXP jack. More on these features below:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp data-end=\"2903\" data-start=\"2438\"\u003eWhen in SYNC mode (indicated by Red LEDs), the DoubleTracker Stereo’s 2nd voices are matched in tune, and when set to COMP mode (indicated by Green LEDs) as one voice raises in pitch, the other lowers in pitch (and vice-versa). COMP Mode dramatically increases the stereo field (a direct result of a phenomena known as the Haas Effect), and with a modest (or extreme) Spread setting, the sound can best be described as: Ampitheatric. Almost like an instant arena.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp data-end=\"3181\" data-start=\"2905\"\u003eUsing the preset is a snap: Simply dial in your favorite settings and press the SAVE button once. The Preset LED will blink three times and the preset is now saved (for up to 42 years!!) and can be toggled on or off instantly, at any time, by pressing the PRESET footswitch.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp data-end=\"3558\" data-start=\"3183\"\u003eIf the preset wasn’t easy enough, players are going to LOVE the EXP option. To use an external expression pedal, simply connect a favorite expression pedal (following the connections below) to the EXP jack and turn the desired control(s) to the “EXP.” marker found at the terminal end of their clockwise rotation. The control(s) are now assigned to expression pedal duties.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp data-end=\"3577\" data-start=\"3560\"\u003eIt’s that easy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp data-end=\"3791\" data-start=\"3579\"\u003eTo resume knob control, just turn the knob away from the EXP. marker. Yes, it’s that easy, and the user can change which control(s) are assigned to expression pedal duties at any time, on the fly: in real time.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp data-end=\"3881\" data-start=\"3793\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"3833\" data-start=\"3793\"\u003eExpression pedal wiring connections:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"3836\" data-start=\"3833\"\u003eTip – Wiper\u003cbr data-end=\"3850\" data-start=\"3847\"\u003eRing – High\u003cbr data-end=\"3864\" data-start=\"3861\"\u003eSleeve - Ground\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp data-end=\"4103\" data-start=\"3883\"\u003eConnecting the DoubleTracker Stereo is both simple and intuitive, and the pedal offers Mono-In\/Mono-Out, Mono-In\/Stereo-Out, and Discrete True-Stereo-In\/True-Stereo-Out configurations!\u003cbr data-end=\"4070\" data-start=\"4067\"\u003eConnections are quick and easy:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul data-end=\"4406\" data-start=\"4105\"\u003e \u003cli data-end=\"4178\" data-start=\"4105\"\u003e \u003cp data-end=\"4178\" data-start=\"4107\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"4129\" data-start=\"4107\"\u003eMono-In \/ Mono-Out\u003c\/strong\u003e – connect to: Primary Input* \u0026amp; Primary Output*\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli data-end=\"4275\" data-start=\"4179\"\u003e \u003cp data-end=\"4275\" data-start=\"4181\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"4205\" data-start=\"4181\"\u003eMono-In \/ Stereo-Out\u003c\/strong\u003e – connect to: Primary Input* and both Primary \u0026amp; Secondary Outputs**\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli data-end=\"4406\" data-start=\"4276\"\u003e \u003cp data-end=\"4406\" data-start=\"4278\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"4314\" data-start=\"4278\"\u003eTrue-Stereo-In \/ True-Stereo-Out\u003c\/strong\u003e – connect to: both Primary* \u0026amp; Secondary** Inputs, and both Primary* \u0026amp; Secondary** Outputs\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp data-end=\"4514\" data-start=\"4408\"\u003e*Primary input\/output marked with single triangle\u003cbr data-end=\"4460\" data-start=\"4457\"\u003e**Secondary input\/output marked with double triangle\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp data-end=\"4825\" data-start=\"4516\"\u003ePowered by an “industry standard” 9VDC pedal power supply, consuming approximately 73mA @ 9VDC, the DoubleTracker Stereo from Mr Black Pedals is not only a powerful stereo enhancer—suitable for live pedalboard use and studio work alike—it is the secret weapon many players didn’t know they were missing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Musictoner","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":67604728283299,"sku":"MB-BDTS-AC","price":167.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/8299\/0499\/files\/DoubleTracker-Stereo-Black-Front_1024x1024-_1_d875fe9d-5498-48f5-8156-57c6950ab0da.jpg?v=1791174601","url":"https:\/\/musictoner.shop\/products\/musictoner-altomusic-mr-black-pedals-doubletracker-stereo","provider":"MusicToner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
