What better way to drive your current line-up of Eventide pedals than with a DriveFactor! Think of it… Long hours of labour intensive amp adjustments and settings in a more controlled environment, smaller form-factor like an EventideStompBox.
A user could assign any type of drive via midi to all the other pedals while having the tone they've always wanted from the ground up. Instead of being a modeller type of pedal you could approach it from a different angle… Most people have their favourite amp for tone, but they'll always need a boost or lead type of "Gain Sweetener" if you will.
Design a pedal with the right wave forms and filters that would create distortion, suggestions would include Pink Light, White Light, and other spectrums of light-sounds.
Could even have it combined with a MidiFactor pedalboard with say 10 buttons, Backlit LCD screen with big letters, name your own presets, assign any combination of effects in conjunction with other pedals say 5 EventideStompBoxes and 4 of their own choices.
Eventide is famous for its unique characteristic harmonizers and sounds, its the only company out there that has nailed down harmonization to a finite science for guitar period!
To me Eventide products have a nice mystic about them, like "AREA 51" when you hear that you automatically become tantalized with visions of alien technology. I love it!!
Other Suggestions Include:
PsychFactor (The weirdest sounding pedal ever)
MidiFactor (Control all your pedals at once)
DriveFactor (Custom Distortion)
StringFactor (Orchestral Strings, synth sounds anyone?)
SynthFactor (strictly analogue synth sounds)
SampleFactor
(a pedal that uses samples that can be imported into a StompBox
and used with other sound mangling effects… This would appeal to DJ's and guitar players
alike. Another can of worms alltogether).
Ofcourse these are just ideas, awaiting their own realities. (in my mind hehe).
