The MOTOR Pedal is a fully playable electro-mechanical synth voice that tracks your pitch in real time. Use it as a drone that doubles your lines, or as a ring-mod or cross-modulation engine for your signal. This isn't an emulation or analog modeling — this is the sound of a spinning brushed DC motor, pushed to the edge and tamed with precision control.
The MOTOR Pedal uses a real-time pitch tracker to analyze your instrument's output. Whether you're using a guitar, a bass, or a microphone, the motor's rotational speed will precisely match the fundamental frequency you're playing. For example, to match a 440Hz input, the motor will rotate at 146 revolutions per second, activating the magnetic pickup and sensors three times per rotation.
A carefully calibrated inductor captures the real-world motion of the motor's spinning coils, transforming mechanical energy into a raw, electric audio signal.
The MOTOR Pedal uses a specially-designed brushed DC electromotor block as its core sound engine. Over time, the motor's brushes are going to erode, and the motor block will need to be replaced - indicated by the pedal's check engine light turning orange and then red. The motor block is a replaceable part with an estimated lifespan of 3,000–5,000 hours of intensive playing. Installing a replacement motor is comparable to changing a set of tubes in your amp.
FEATURES / BULLET POINTS
- A fully playable electro-mechanical synth voice that tracks the pitch of your playing in real time.
- A real sound source of a real electromotor that spins “in pitch”.
- Innovative expression foot pedal with standard and floor-it ranges and selectable modes of accelerate, brake, clutch, volume swells, and drift.
- Five engine modes to select between magnetic pickup, cross-mod, multitimbral, resonant and vocoder.
- Track in, track out and MIDI functionality to source the signal from anywhere in the signal chain.
- Specs
The MOTOR Pedal's unique features and modes allow you to use it for much more than a simple synth voice:
- FOOT PEDAL - An innovative foot pedal with normal and floor-it ranges, and five unique pedal modes.
- MOTOR - Raw electromagnetic pickup of the spinning coils. Glitchy, growling, magnetic.
- MXD - Cross-modulation of the motor with a digital waveform, creating harsh, distorted, and metallic textures.
- M-WAVE - A digital oscillator that's pitch-locked and hard-synced to the motor's output. A multitimbral synth with an imperfect mechanical soul.
- COIL MODE - Instead of spinning the motor with DC voltage, this mode injects alternating current into the motor's coils to create resonant analog vibrations and metallic hums. This innovative synthesis method sounds like nostalgia on steroids.
- VOCODER MODE - A 24-band digital vocoder that uses the motor's output as the carrier and your instrument's signal as the modulator. Speak, sing, or shred directly through the machine.
- ANALOG TONE BOOST - A powerful tilt equalizer for shaping the motor output.
- TWO VOLUME KNOBS - Independent volume control for the dry signal and motor output.
- MOTOR DRIVE - Heavy analog distortion for the motor output.
- ENVELOPE - Go from short, punctuated stabs to an envelope follower to long releases.
- GLIDE - Applies a portamento curve to the motor engine.
- VIBRATO - Classic pitch modulation, from subtle movement to wild oscillation.
- MOTOR INTERVAL SELECTOR - Allows you to offset the motor pitch by +/- 1 octave or perfect fifths or fourths.
- X-MOD MODE - Use amplitude modulation to cross-modulate the input signal with all motor engines.
- ACCELERATOR - Create a wide range of controlled pitch shifts, or "floor it" to redline the motor.
- BRAKE - Downward pitch shift, or mash the pedal to bring the motor to a stall.
- CLUTCH - Temporarily disconnect the motor from the pitch tracker—perfect for creating drones.
- VOLUME - Use the spring-loaded pedal to create satisfying volume swells.
- DRIFT - Play the pedal like a gentle vibrato arm, or just "floor it" to get a complete wipeout.
- Power: Powered by a standard 9V DC center-negative power supply with at least 500 mA (not included).
- Connectivity: Additional 5-pin and USB-C MIDI functionality.

Read to be challenged!
Format: Kindle
Eugene H. Peterson opens his book with an overwhelming introduction that both captured me and also struck fear into my heart. I had read the introduction before, yet had not pressed farther into the book. Yet recently was challenged to revisit this book to face the challenges of Peterson's book and seek the Holy Spirit's work in my life. After completing Working the Angles, I found there were three specific areas where I received the greatest challenges; prayer, contemplative exegesis, and Sabbath.
Having spent the last three years in fulltime work in the Church, Working the Angles, was a good challenge to return to the perspective, practice, and discipline I began those years doing. His words and emotional force cut into my heart with the realization of how little energy and importance I now (and perhaps always) have put on prayer. Most striking, however, was the call to the realization of what prayer really is:
"Prayer is a daring venture into speech that juxtaposes our words with the sharply alive words that pierce and divide souls and spirit, joints and marrow, pitilessly exposing every thought and intention of the heart (Heb. 4:12-13; Rev. 1:16) (Peterson 1998, 43)."
I had definitely fallen back into a bland routine of praying. I neither was considering Who I was actually communing with or the gravity of my prayers. The sections dealing with prayer in this book have been quite restorative in even helping me to slow down in my prayer and seek God. His words to Pastors on "little prayers" offered at the start of an event or function have also pressed my heart to not take lightly the moments we pray prior to the start of class, chapel, a meal, or bedtime with the children.
The second of area of challenge that I found of great benefit was that of contemplative exegesis. He uses a striking illustration from Herman Melville's novel White Jacket to tell how we might get carried away with the technical skills of our life's calling to the actual defeat of what we are striving to accomplish. Already this term I have found this true as we bury deep in research, reading, study, and writing. It is easy for me to strive to read all the texts, gather data, or compose papers and sermons, but to do so devoid of the life found in God's word. Again Working the Angles has been a siren call away from the shoals of academic and scholarly success that could easily end in break up spiritual well being. Prayer and re-realization of a God Who is alive and speaking through His word has been a breath of fresh air.
Finally, Peterson's discussion of Sabbath presses upon my heart. I have been struggling to find both rest and Sabbath. Each day I feel the pressure of deadlines and responsibilities, while the tension of family and Church ministry expectations hound my thoughts. Peterson reflections on the Hebrew morning and evening concepts, I pray, will continue to shape my perspective of Who is really at work in my life. He also helped me to re-think what a real Sabbath means and I am seeking to implement a weekly time that restores my perspective on the reality of God, His sovereignty in my life, and healthy disciplines moving forward.

The Heart of the Matter
Format: Paperback
The power, longevity and effectiveness of a church lies in large part on the leadership of its pastor(s). It shouldn't be about his or her administrative skills or ability to jump at every whim a member of the congregation brings forward. It should be about the spiritual life and leadership of the pastor. This isn't about perfection. It's about relationship with God. As a lay person who is active in the local church and works in a ministry to pastors, my heart delights in a pastor who puts God first and everything else in its proper place. You see, when the pastor's hunger for God is alive and well and being fed I can see it, and I have a role model to follow. When the pastor's life demonstrates the results of intimacy with Christ, I am motivated and encouraged.
As a lay person, I was brought up short because for too long I have measured my pastors by the to do list he accomplishes and the teaching she does. I have not always allowed them the space to do the most important things - being the guardian and teacher of the word and sacrament, abiding in Christ through prayer, and being the spiritual director I need rather than the quick answer to a problem I bring forward. I stand corrected.
My hope is that this book crosses the desk of every pastor in America, to renew his or her call to ministry, to give permission and encouragement in keeping the promises of ordination and installation. It will radically change the pastorate and the Church it ministers to.
Well done, Pastor Peterson. Thank you for your honesty, your leadership, and your willingness to be real and tell it like it is.

A Vision of Pastoring That is Rare but Inspiring
Format: Kindle
No one has been more helpful to me from afar in church planting and pastoring than Eugene Peterson. His vision of pastoring is inspiring but increasingly rare in the church growth landscape of the Evangelical industrial complex. “The pastors of America have metamorphosed into a company of shopkeepers, and the shops they keep are churches. They are preoccupied with shopkeeper’s concerns—how to keep the customers happy, how to lure customers away from competitors down the street, how to package the goods so that the customers will lay out more money.” In this book, Peterson offers up an alternate view—a biblical view—of the work of the pastor: prayer, reading Scripture, and offering spiritual direction. This work is modest work—hard work—but it is the good work God has called us to.
