GTR Guitars & Drums

Bass pedals rely on the shape of the cam - round or offset, large or small - to give each pedal its characteristic action and feel. Some brands offer more than one shape to cater to the diverse style differences and preferences of the drumming public. Unfortunately, if you want another cam you have to buy a whole new pedal or install a new cam providing you can buy one separately in the first place.

Pearl’s PowerShifter Eliminator pedal comes standard with four cams, each with a unique shape and all interchange at the push of a button thus giving the Eliminator the action and feel of four different pedals for the price of one!

Interchangeable Cam System:

The interchangeable cam system features four uniquely shaped cams. The

Black Cam

is Pearl's original linear-feel cam for smooth, well-balanced action. The

White Cam

is also linear but larger in diameter for a lighter feel and increased power. The

Blue Cam

is offset and starts with a light feel at the beginning of the stroke and accelerates with speed and power upon impact. The

Red Cam

is radically offset and provides great response for sensitive footwork and extreme power upon impact. The

Purple Cam

is right in between the Blue and Red cams so it splits the difference. The

Yellow Cam

has a top-heavy feel and it can play moderate tempos with very even dynamics. For example, when playing shuffles, the second beat of the "duh-duh" is as strong as the first. All cams attach and detach easily at the push of a button.
