New Earthquaker Devices Data Corrupter Modulated Monophonic Harmonizing Pedal

The Data Corrupter is a monophonic analog harmonizing PLL with modulation. It takes your input signal and brutally amplifies it into a crushing square wave fuzz tone that is then multiplied, divided and modulated to create a wild, yet repeatable, three-voice guitar synthesizer.

The Master Oscillator is the central nervous system at the heart of the Data Corrupter's cyberpunk hive mind. The three-position switch on the Master Oscillator control panel labeled Root feeds your input to the Data Corrupter's signal harvester in its original octave (Unison), one octave down (-1) or two octaves down (-2). Use the Master Oscillator's Root switch to fine tune the Data Corrupter's tracking response for maximum compatibility with your preferred instrument and frequency register. Once you've chosen your input octave, the Data Corrupter will perform its calculations and spit out a synthesized frequency, the octave and/or interval of which may be selected via the Master Oscillator's eight-position rotary switch. The Voice Mixer's Oscillator control adjusts the Master Oscillator blend.

The Frequency Modulator applies pitch-bend modulation to the Master Oscillator. In Glide mode, you'll hear a smooth portamento as each note slides into the next. In Vibrato mode the pitch modulates up and down for a retro sci-fi laser effect.

The Subharmonic assimilates the input signal into one of eight lower octave programs between one and three octaves below the original. Adjust the Voice Mixer's Subharmonic control to set the lower octave volume.

Controls:

• Master Oscillator – Root switch (Unison, -1, -2 octaves), 8-position rotary interval select
• Frequency Modulator – Glide and Vibrato modes with Rate control
• Subharmonic – Root switch (Unison or Oscillator), 8-position rotary interval select
• Voice Mixer – Square, Subharmonic, and Oscillator blend controls, master Level

Tracking: Place close to front of signal chain, before delay, reverb or modulation. Neck pickup recommended for best tracking.

Switching: True bypass via electronic relay. Audio will not pass without power.

Power: Standard 9V DC, 2.1mm negative center barrel. 25mA current draw.
