The QuantumDrive is a versatile and unique overdrive and distortion unit that uses a patent pending process to dynamically shape the sound of the guitar by means of a quantum tunneling device. Quantum tunneling is a curious physics principle which allows matter to “pass through” other matter which would normally be impenetrable. Acoustic Imaginearing has developed a means of using this effect to modify a guitar signal in unique and previously unheard of ways.

The quantum distortion appears to add a vowel sound to the signal as well as emphasizing the consonant, fricative guitar distinctiveness. Affecting the edge of the waveform and not just the peaks, the result is a very expressive tone when played “in the zone.” Of course the pedal is also capable of wild and quirky, outside the norm distortions — each distinctive to the instrument processed by the Quantum Drive.

The effect is well suited for both guitar and bass, as bass frequencies are retained without becoming muddy. It has been used by Tony Levin on the latest King Crimson tour.

In addition to the distortion channel, the pedal has a solid overdrive channel, also uniquely designed, that can be used independently or chained together with the quantum channel

Ever tried to make your own guitar picks? I did a few experiments with melting things into picks with custom logos on them. Wanna’ know what I found out? Nothing I can make is as cool as this thing. The pick puncher costs just $24.95 and is now pre-ordering.

This is pretty great. Make your own picks from almost anything. Whatever can be punched can be a pick. You can make picks out of credit cards, plastic lids, everything you can imagine is now a free guitar pick. If you’re anything like me you might have one or two picks under your couch cushions if you’re lucky.
