The EarthQuaker Devices Data Corrupter is a unique monophonic analog harmonizing PLL pedal that transforms your guitar signal into a wild, three-voice synthesizer. It creates a crushing square wave fuzz tone, which is then multiplied, divided, and modulated. This creates a complex and expressive analog synth tone with octave up and octave down capabilities, but not a traditional pitch shift. It has the feeling of turning your guitar into some sort of synth pedal with octave up and octave down abilities. It also features a frequency modulator that produces smooth pitch-shifting bends or glitchy effects, and the subharmonic switch engages different harmonics and octaves. The Data Corrupter offers a diverse range of sounds, making it ideal for experimental guitarists.
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.
