A smorgasbord of effects in one unit.

AdrenaLinn III from Roger Linn Design is a beat-synced multi-effects processor for guitar, keyboard or bass that combines 3 products in one:
1) A beat-synched multi-effects processor with exclusive Filter Sequencer
What are beat-synched filter effects? Examples include tremolo, auto-pan, filter tremolo, flanger, chorus, rotary, vibrato and more, all in perfect synch to the internal drumbeats or to MIDI clock. That out-of-synch tremolo on your guitar amp won't seem as useful anymore. Plus you get innovative new effects including:
• Random filtering, flanging or tremolo like a wah pedal that instantly switches to a new random position on every 1/8 or 1/16 note in sync to the beat. Or a flanger that switches to a new random frequency every 1/8 or 1/16 note. Or a tremolo in which each pulse level is randomly chosen, adding a syncopated rhythm to even simple chords.
• Filter sequences: Looped 2-measure rhythmic sequences of filter tones in sync to the beat or to MIDI. Choose one of the preset sequences or program your own. A great idea generator.
• Tremolo sequences: Looped 2-measure sequences of programmed volume pulses. Like that used in Green Day's "Boulevard of Broken Dreams".
• Arpeggio Sequences: Looped 2-measure sequences of tuned resonances, as used in John Mayer's "Bigger Than My Body".
• Delay Loops: Set the beat-synced delay to 1 full measure, then jam with yourself by playing chords over the first bar and solo over them on the next.
You also get note-triggered filter effects like Auto-Wah, Talk Box simulator, Guitar Synth sounds, plus stereo reverb, compression, tuner and a completely transparent noise gate. And AdrenaLinn III's filters are warm and very analog-sounding with emulations of classic Moog and Oberheim synthesizer filter designs.
2) A superb amp modeler
40 superb models of vintage and modern guitar amps from Fender, Marshall, VOX, Mesa Boogie and more, including 4 classic bass amps. Plus distortion boxes and a warm tube preamp emulation.
3) A programmable drum machine
A great-sounding programmable drum machine with 200 drumbeats from rock, pop, reggae, Brazilian, techno, hip hop, jazz and more, using over 40 well-sampled drum sounds. Run the drums through the amps and beat-synched filter processing for inspiring processed beats.
• Easy to use.
Just select a preset and play. To adjust any of the front panel settings, simply press the UP or DOWN arrow buttons to light the light next to it, then turn the knob above it. That's it. Same with the drumbeats.

Like its predecessor, AdrenaLinn III gives you modulation effects, looped filter sequences and delay loops, all playing in sync to the internal drum beats or MIDI. This model adds reverb, compression, tuner, and brings the number of amp models up to 40 (including 4 bass amps) with enhanced tube emulation and realism. New MIDI improvements permit control of nearly all settings from MIDI pedalboards, and the panel footswitches may now be reassigned to a variety of actions including amp drive boost. User presets and drumbeats are doubled to 200 each and come filled with great new examples of what this unique idea-creation box can do!

You won't believe it's digital

I've had this a couple days and haven't explored all the options but can't wait to get home from work and play some more. I got the unit to have multiple effects because I like exploring different sounds, but I've been stuck on playing the different amp models which are crazy good! Get a comfortable set of headphones! It's like someone dropped of a semi-trailer loaded with different amps. I've tried some of the Line 6 stuff, the Boss GT-xx, and some NI stuff on the computer. To my ear, they all seem to have trouble with having enough processing power to keep up with your playing; you can hear delays, choppiness, and pops. Not with the AdrenaLinn though, it shows the potential of what digital processing is capable of these days. Two minor complaints: I wish there were more choices for MIDI pedal control boards, as they seem to be fairly pricey for what they offer. The AdrenaLinn manual has a lot of discussion about using two expression (MIDI) pedals, so now that I know that I'll keep it, I'll have to pursue getting the pedals. The other thing is that it'd be nice if there were a USB interface to download presets and maybe update the firmware, if updates are needed. But otherwise, everything seems to be thought out without any proprietary BS. Example: there's a spec' for the power supply if you don't want to use the one supplied with the unit. Add the fact that AdrenaLinn II owners have an upgrade path and you get the sense that they're wanting to take care of the people who purchase their product. Good stuff.

I've played with many multi-fx pedals, of many brands, and when I saw the demos of the AD III my search was over. The Adrenalinn III has what I was looking for and more. I am inspired more than ever. More fun than ever too.

LINN DOES IT AGAIN!

The adrenalinn3 is by far one of the most versatile, best sounding effects unit....PERIOD! I have owned virtually every decent multi-effects processors available and the RLD3 out rocks them all! Not only do you get truly authentic amp modeled tones but they are USABLE! Most effects units I suppose because they are digital, sound sterile at higher volumes and especially in front of an amp, but the RLD3 not only retains it's sonic clarity but gets even better with higher volumes. This does not even touch the awesome effects that come standard with the unit. Overall, you simply and honestly cannot get a better value and quality effects unit out there. I use it every day and find more and more inspiring new frontier sounds with it!

Best pedal ever.

I got this from upgrading the Adrenalinn II with the kit. The only complaint of that one was that I couldn't control it remotely with a midi pedal. Well this version do that and also have better simulations and useful rhythms/drums patterns.

I am really happy now
