NAMM 2018: Mattoverse Electronics Tetrastep

If you've never heard of Mattoverse, then you and I have something in common. But, it looks like that they are trying to bridge the gap between synth and guitar with their Tetrastep 4 step square-wave sequencer. Similar to the EHX 8 Step Program, but with a built-in tone generator. The Tetrastep allows you to assign a pitch to 4 steps, bring them in and out, and effect tempo at the touch of a button or turn of a know. It even will sync its self with compatible drum machines. All these features are pretty common for these types of units, but it's in a format that feels right at home on your pedal board.

Providing a big update to the original TetraStep, the TetraStep MKII provides users with an even more exciting addition to the realm of crazy noise generating effects pedals.  This thing will definitely get your creative juices flowing.  While the pedal can be used with guitar and bass, it also works great with synths and drum machines as a desktop unit.  While the original TetraStep had 4 pitch controllable steps and an intuitive user interface, the TetraStep MKII adds the following features:

Tap Tempo
Sync In (0-20v) & Sync Out (0-5v)
Illuminated on/off button for each step
Rate Multiplier Switch
Glide Effect
Higher Volume Square Wave Output
Additionally, the audio input of the pedal provides a transparent high impedance buffered audio pass through when the pedal is on and true-bypass audio pass through when the pedal is off.

Audio input and output jacks are 1/4" and the Sync input and output jacks are 1/8"
