Described as the “Pedalboard clock”, Tempode will let you harness the potential of effects that sync to MIDI clock, and it does so without taking up too much space on your board.
Guitar effects that sync to MIDI Clock are being released left and right, numbering now to over 50 pedals from 20 different manufacturers, including Strymon, TC, Zvex, Source Audio, Eventide, and MOOG. This prompted Molten Voltage to create a compact MIDI clock generator, so you can sync your delay, tremolo, phaser, flanger and filter pedals conveniently.
According to the company, dedicated MIDI clocks don’t have the inherent reliability issues found on laptop clocks. It is said to update over 25,000 times a second, ensuring timing accuracy. Aside from working with MIDI capable pedals, Tempode can also be integrated into other MIDI controllers that don’t have built-in clocks. This includes Rocktron’s MIDI Raider, VooDoo Lab’s Ground Control, GigRig’s G2, and many others.
