Although the very first XY pad controllers introduced more than 20 years ago were built into keyboard synthesizers and subsequent XY pads were designed for DJs and EDM artists, the XY pad is really most ideally suited for guitars. A few visionary players like Matthew Bellamy of Muse realized this and went to great trouble, effort and expense to build custom guitars with XY pads built into them.
In the last few years, a handful of affordable production guitars with built-in XY pads hit the market, but given a choice most players would prefer the option of using their personal favorite guitar than an off-the-shelf alternative.
The Revpad from GTC Sound Innovations is the perfect solution for guitarists who want to explore the incredible expressive capabilities of using an XY pad to control effects without sacrificing the comfort and familiarity of their main guitars.
FEATURES
The GTC Revpad is a system consisting of the compact Revpad Touchpad wireless XY pad controller, which mounts on any guitar and features rechargeable batteries, and the Revpad base unit, which functions as a wireless receiver for the Touchpad, floor-mounted effects processor, and foot controller. The Touchpad features a 1 x 1 3/4–inch XY pad, three assignable control buttons, on/off switch and mini USB port for charging the Touchpad, updating firmware or “wired” operation.
The base unit provides four footswitches for selecting or bypassing effect banks and presets (the unit stores up to 200 presets), a navigation wheel configured similar to an iPod jog wheel, individual buttons for saving presets, accessing system parameters and assigning X Y controller parameters.
The base unit’s back panel features a guitar/line input level switch, mono 1/4-inch audio input, effects loop send and return jacks, MIDI In and Out/Thru jacks,
