«  superb effect. »

Thus speaks a bitcrusher: halfway between the fuzz and ring modulator. This time it's for the digital modulator part in all cases and can be analog for the distortion side. powered by 9v, I put a flat for access to the battery that requires the removal of four screws, which can be unbearable live (although in general when you have pedals that price it is possible to have proper nutrition). The hull is solid metal and it is noted that there are several arranged graphics, as often with Catalinbread. Jack in, jack out, and roll youth!

UTILIZATION

four button with volume and gain, which I will not go over a sample rate which allows to influence the modulation ring modulator, and a knob resolution which affects differently (the next bit crush of the case). It adds a hi lo switch which will affect the overall tone of the effect.

SOUND QUALITY

The effect can be used for both a noisy sound slurry (the switch in position using lo), and as a thick fuzz or snarling distortion. All positions will find a musically interest. So far I've tried with a guitar, but I think that works too low, and some keyboards it must be excellent! An effect with a specific color, but usable!

OVERALL OPINION

I have not even two months ago, I love his musicality, you can not possibly miss the opportunity to edit the sounds via computer. THE value for money is one of great pedal expensive but very effective.

Note that with a dead battery it gets very interesting saturation!

I would do without this choice problem!
