Death By Audio – Photo ModulatorJam Session Guitars is proud to be an authorized dealer for Death By Audio, and we’re excited to offer the incredibly creative Photo Modulator.The Photo Modulator is a compact, light-sensitive expression controller that lets you manipulate any expression-compatible pedal using light. Shine a flashlight, strobe, stage light—even a lava lamp—onto the sensor to sweep your effect in one direction; cover it in shadow to sweep it back. It responds just like a traditional expression pedal:Light = toe down | Dark = heel down.Housed in a right-angle ¼” jack enclosure, the Photo Modulator has an ultra-small footprint and is easy to position toward your preferred light source. Best of all, it’s completely passive—no power or batteries required.This unique tool opens up a world of performance possibilities, allowing you to interact with your effects in a totally new, hands-free way. It pairs perfectly with Death By Audio pedals like the ROOMS, Evil Filter, and Crossover Fuzz, as well as most standard expression-controlled effects.Technical Details:Passive cadmium sulfide photoresistor circuitResistance range:Bright light: <1kΩDarkness: >1MΩ47kΩ resistor between ring and sleeve for standard expression pedal compatibilityWorks with most pedals that accept passive expression inputWhether you’re experimenting in the studio or adding a visual, interactive element to your live rig, the Photo Modulator is a seriously inspiring piece of gear.
