Onward
A dynamic, playing-responsive sampler with a freeze channel for smooth ambient pads and a glitch channel for angular, repeating textures, blendable into one evolving effect.
About this pedal
Onward is a dual-channel sampler that reacts to your playing dynamics, combining a smooth freeze side and an angular glitch side that can run together or be split apart with sidechaining and dynamic ducking. Built-in effects, a synth-inspired Shape section, and three flavors of intentional malfunction expand its sonic range. MIDI, CV, expression control, tap tempo, and internal modulation are included.
