Designed to rethink how expression control works onstage, the Casio Dimension Shifter is a wireless, strap-mounted expression controller comprising a compact transmitter and a dedicated receiver unit. The transmitter conveniently attaches to your guitar strap and converts natural neck movement into an expression signal, which is sent via Bluetooth to the receiver and routed to an effect’s expression input using a standard 1/4" TRS connection. This hands-on approach lets players control volume swells, filter sweeps, modulation depth or preset changes directly from the instrument—without relying on a foot pedal—making it a practical tool for dynamic performances, ambient textures and expressive live control.
Wireless Expression Control for Creative Freedom
Anchoring the Dimension Shifter is a Bluetooth-based wireless link between the strap-mounted transmitter and the receiver unit, eliminating the need for a traditional expression pedal on the floor. As the guitar neck moves, the transmitter’s internal spring mechanism translates that motion into a continuous expression signal, allowing real-time control over compatible effects. With a wireless operating range of up to 98 feet, depending on environment, the system supports free movement onstage while maintaining consistent, responsive control.
Adjustable Feel and On-the-Fly Calibration
The transmitter is designed to adapt to different guitars and playing styles through adjustable spring tension and quick calibration controls. Players can set minimum and maximum positions to define the usable range of motion, ensuring predictable and repeatable response. Additional fingertip controls, including invert and hold functions, allow further refinement of how the expression signal behaves, making it easier to dial in controlled movement rather than exaggerated swings.
Flexible Integration With Existing Effects Setups
The Dimension Shifter receiver connects to an effect’s expression input via a standard 1/4" TRS output, supporting compatibility with expression-ready pedals from a wide range of manufacturers. It can also be used alongside a traditional expression pedal, enabling simultaneous control of multiple parameters—for example, managing overall volume with a foot pedal while shaping a wah or filter sweep with the Dimension Shifter. This flexibility makes it a practical addition to both compact boards and more complex rigs.
A New Dimension of Shaping Expression On Stage
By shifting expression control from the floor to the instrument itself, the Casio Dimension Shifter offers players a different approach to interacting with effects in live and rehearsal settings. Whether used for subtle dynamic control or more pronounced movement-based modulation, the Dimension Shifter integrates cleanly into modern pedal setups while keeping the focus on performance, feel and musical intent.
