Step into the sonic universe with the Pigtronix Mothership 2, a velocity-sensitive, pitch-tracking, three-voice analog synthesizer that invites you to explore new dimensions of sound. Designed to fit seamlessly on your pedalboard, this compact powerhouse is perfect for guitarists, bassists, or any adventurous musician ready to dive into the analog future. With its hard sync feature, the Mothership 2 offers pitch modulation via portamento and CV/expression control, allowing for dynamic real-time pitch and amplitude tracking.

The pedal's intuitive interface is equipped with five custom dual-concentric potentiometers and two toggle switches, granting you ultimate control over your soundscape. You can fine-tune levels for the VCO's triangle wave, square wave, and the clean guitar sound, alongside a sub-octave sine wave that can be routed to a dedicated bass amp via the SUB output. The adjustable dynamics function lets you control the synth's amplitude tracking "feel," while the Glide control allows for smooth pitch transitions.

Switch between Unison, Octave Up, and Interval (Major 3rd, 4th, 5th) presets to create rich harmonics and complex overtones. The onboard Sync function locks VCO oscillators to your input signal, crafting a unique, pitch-locked sound. Whether you're using the Sweep and Timbre controls or exploring modulation with an optional expression pedal, the Mothership 2 promises a galaxy of unparalleled auditory experiences.
