V-Pedal - Stand Alone VST Player
NEW: The V-Pedal has been specifically designed for guitarists wanting to take the best guitar plug-ins (and more) out on the road in a rock-solid 'all in one' hardware unit. With mic/line inputs, programmable stomp switches and rotary encoders, TFT display, expression pedal, and a host of other features, the V-Pedal gives guitarists
something they have never had before. The freedom to develop unique sounds from the thousands of available VST plug-ins. It's no secret that some of the very best guitar tones and effects are now being created from within computer software plug-ins. The V-Pedal gives guitarists access to these and many more sound options in a dedicated floor stomp box.
Built like a tank, simple to use, and with unheard of sonic flexibility, the V-Pedal rocks like no other.

All SM Pro Audio V-Machines ship with a control configuration software compatible with Windows, Mac OS X and Linux (future support).
Users can load up their favorite VST/VSTi plug-ins on their computer for auditioning, sound-set creation, and bank/preset memory assignment prior to transferring to one of the V-products for stand-alone use. Simple intuitive software makes sound and effect creation a breeze.
Transferring your plug-ins to the V-Pedal, couldn't be easier: A speedy USB transfer to the hardware units (via USB cable, USB stick, or USB harddrive) takes care of all required user data, memories, and of course plug-in transfer.
Once in the main unit... you have freed your plug-ins from the computer and have instant immediate access to your instrument and effect sound creations on a dedicated hardware unit.

And remember: Now you can play all your favorite Windows plug-ins (dll-files) on Mac and Linux!
