Source Audio SA115 Hot Hand 3® Wireless Ring System
The Hot Hand 3 Universal Wireless Effects Controller expands significantly on the breakthrough technology of the original Hot Hand, broadening its compatibility to include non-Source Audio pedals. A 3-axis accelerometer translates motion into a dynamic and precise expression signal, which can be applied to a range of effect parameters, including filter sweeps, drive levels, modulation, and wet/dry mixes. The lightweight and wireless ring is capable of transmitting over 100 feet and fits comfortably on the hand, foot, or instrument headstock. Hot Hand 3 connects to all Soundblox®, Soundblox 2, Soundblox Pro, and Hot Hand pedals via the 1/8" SENSOR OUTPUT. The receiver base station also features a standard 1/4" EXPRESSION OUTPUT compatible with most third-party pedals equipped with a 1/4" expression input, such as the Boss PS-5 Pitch Shifter, Eventide Space Reverb, Line 6 DL4, and many more.
The system consists of a wireless sensor ring, ring charger/DC power supply, receiver base station, and sensor cable. The ring is powered by a rechargeable/replaceable lithium ion battery, with an average operation time of 6 hours between charges. "The Hot Hand is great - it's intuitive and weird and musical. Guitar pedals have kind of been stuck in the same place for a couple decades, and now the Hot Hand has come along to open up a whole new idea." - Damien Kulash, guitarist for OK Go Interface: Depth - Adjusts the range of the control signal. Smooth - Adjusts the ring's sensitivity to motion. Status - Indicates a link between the Hot Hand ring and receiver. Mode - Indicates which motion axis is currently selected. Calibrate (Reset) - Aligns the midpoints of the ring position and output level.
