MXR Layers Sustain Pedal // Full Demo

From MXR, Layers gives you the ability to manually sustain notes/chords or use your playing dynamics to trigger it, but it also captures up to three layers at a time. That leads to some very interesting stuff like evolving soundscapes, pseudo-reverb and synthy voices, and more. It even has modulation and delay onboard, AND it does stereo, so it’s basically a self-contained drone machine and that is rad.

Not gonna lie, this was not on my MXR bingo card and I was very pleasantly surprised. If you don’t already have a sustainer of some kind or you’re looking for a new one to try out, I think this one’s definitely worth checking out.

*Big thanks to Dunlop/MXR for sending this pedal over*
