It packs a real 3-watt amp, a 2-inch speaker and a microphone into a pedal, and the sound comes from those three parts interacting rather than any modelling.<\/p>\n<p>At a glance<\/p>\n<p>A collaboration between Death By Audio and Rainger FX<br \/>\nReal 3-watt amplifier, 2-inch speaker and microphone built into the pedal<br \/>\nBlend the direct amp signal with the internal mic<br \/>\nReal speaker interaction for harmonics, feedback, compression and unpredictable textures<br \/>\nBuilt-in reverb, echo and chorus<br \/>\nExternal 8\u03a9 speaker output for running a cabinet<br \/>\nBuffered bypass, runs on 9V DC (300mA)<br \/>\nLifetime warranty<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Catch up on all the latest news\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/mixdownmag.com.au\/news\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The amp drives the speaker, the mic picks up what the speaker is doing, and a blend control mixes the direct amp signal with the mic\u2019d sound. Because air is moving inside the box, the result covers touch-sensitive overdrive, thick fuzz, blooming harmonics and natural feedback, along with the less predictable noises a small combo makes when pushed hard.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">A small effects section with reverb, echo and chorus is built around that core to push the sounds further, and an external 8\u03a9 speaker output lets the Amp Crash run a full cabinet, working as a tiny but real amplifier rather than only a pedal.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The idea started when David Rainger brought a concept to New York, putting a mic inside a pedal so room sound could mix with the guitar. Death By Audio took it further by adding a speaker for the mic to capture, and the two interacting like an amp in a room became the whole thing.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cThe Amp Crash is powerful, unique, flexible, and a whole load of fun to use,\u201d says David Rainger of Rainger FX. \u201cI\u2019m knocked out by how Death By Audio developed this idea into an amazing product.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Between the built-in speaker, the mic\u2019d blend and the effects, it works as a practice amp, a compact recording tool or a noise-making platform for players after sounds a normal distortion pedal can\u2019t reach. It runs on 9V, has buffered bypass and comes with a lifetime warranty.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Amp Crash is available now direct from Death By Audio and through retailers worldwide, with Rainger FX handling UK sales.<\/p>\n<p>Head <a href=\"https:\/\/deathbyaudio.com\/products\/amp-crash\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a> to learn more.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Death By Audio and Rainger FX have built a stompbox with a working amplifier inside it \u2013 the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":862805,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[64,63,105],"class_list":["post-862804","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/862804","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=862804"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/862804\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/862805"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=862804"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=862804"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=862804"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
