Data Corrupter
Monophonic analog harmonizing PLL pedal that multiplies, divides, and modulates your signal into a three-voice guitar synthesizer.
About this pedal
The Data Corrupter is a monophonic analog harmonizing phase-locked-loop pedal. It amplifies your input into a crushing square-wave tone, then multiplies, divides, and modulates it into a repeatable three-voice synth sound — with a Master Oscillator for octave/interval selection, a Frequency Modulator for glide or vibrato pitch-bends, a Subharmonic voice down to three octaves below, and a blendable fuzzed square-wave layer.
