The Future Impact bass synth is one of the all-time classic effects pedals, much loved by the likes of Bootsy Collins, and now pandaMidi has announced the launch of the Future Impact v3, which adds a whole suite of features and makes it compatible for electric guitar and wind instruments too.

The Future Impact v3 features a newly expanded virtual analogue sound engine with modular features, sound parameters that are now controllable via an external midi controller and some internal controls, ADSR envelopes, a VC04 feature that can act as an additional low-frequency oscillator, and true simultaneous multi-effects processing.

The accompanying software has also been updated and the unit comes programmed with a soundset of 99 new patches. Many of these effects are incredible, transformative, other worldly – such as the foldover distortion and square LFO-driven octave modulation for rendering your guitar signal as a synth bass.
