Air Space Invader

The Air Space Invader by Rainger FX is a unique effects pedal designed with a focus on specific technical specifications. The pedal features a custom mini enclosure and operates with a 9VDC center negative power supply unit (PSU), which is not included. The pedal incorporates a Rainger FX optimum distortion circuit that can be mixed with white noise, and the resulting signal is sent through a low-pass filter. The cut-off frequency of the filter is controlled by the envelope of the note being played.

The controls on the Air Space Invader include:
- VOL: Adjusts the output volume
- DRIVE: Controls the amount of distortion on the guitar signal
- MIX: Adjusts the blend of white noise with the guitar signal
- FILTER switch: Activates the low-pass filter
- Hi/Lo switch: Adjusts the resonance of the low-pass filter, with high resonance making the cut-off frequency more noticeable
- DC in: Connection for a standard 9V pedal PSU (center earth)
- LEDs: Indicates the status of the pedal and the presence of a signal

The pedal offers a range of sounds, from biting edgy funk tones to sheets of shoe-gazy distortion, moog-y synth fusion styles, TB303 acid filter effects, hi-texture fuzz, and electro percussion. The Air Space Invader is designed to be very quiet between notes and features a noise gate function when no signal is present.

Additionally, the pedal comes with an Igor foot-controller, which is a pressure-operated controller that can be used to manipulate the filter action. The Air Space Invader is suitable for various music genres, including funk, techno rock, acid, fusion, shoegaze, electro, and synth-pop.

The pedal is powered by a 9V power supply (not included) and features true bypass foot-switching. It is designed in a custom mini pedal format and retains the underlying character and tone of the guitar. The pedal also includes a 'RADAR' display with an 'INCOMING' LED that shows when a signal is present.
