GFade 8 Chase Controller Resource Center
User Guide, Videos, Firmware, and Full Specifications
Using the built in animation editor, accessible via a standard web browser over wifi, you can setup your animations to function in any way you like. Each on and off function is programmable on a timeline. Hence, you can set both the on and the off time for each output independently and to any value that suits your need. The GFade is the most flexible chase controller ever created.

A Note About SPT Plugs
The output ports on the GFade are designed for use with store bought extension cords. You can also plug standard light strings directly into the output ports. SPT plugs will not fit when using side-by-side output ports on the GFade. If you want to use SPT plugs with the GFade, check out our pigtail extension kit.
