Noir Spectre More than a few to be honest. The true oscillator of this pedal has nothing to do with the classic sub-octave square sounds a la Blue Box, OC-2 or Multiplexer. Other are more obvious, like the rainbow machine, which is nothing new as an effect if anything the format and specific controls and range selection make it kinda special. Nothing you couldn’t do with a Lexicon or Eventide rack unit 30 years ago.

@pCeLobster 5 жыл бұрын

@Noir Spectre Ehhh little bit of an oversimplification I think. First off, pretty much all pedals are rehashes of older pedals on some level, and most manufacturers are copying old stuff more blatantly than EQD. There's normally some creative new twist with what they do. I think Earthquaker pedals are sometimes more fun than practical, but if you're making your own music then even that's not really true. They're not marketing their stuff to dads playing Mustang Sally for the 1010th time.

@Club Soda The pedals not terrible, It's a synth pedal, it's very difficult to use with the way it's set up, it's equivalent to learning how to play guitar again.

Great job Knobs! I've been watching as many Data Corrupter videos as I can, and I was sad to see so many people turn down the pedal by not understanding what it is. Not to mention the number of terrible demos released onto KZfaq. Because of it's complexity it's going to be very easy for people to make this pedal look bad. Which is funny because it's just so gooood.

so my question is: does it track chords? or is it like the bit commander where it only tracks single notes?

@thisguy2973 2 жыл бұрын

Like the Bit Commander, it’s a monophonic synth, meaning only one note is being tracked. Whichever note is picked up by the synth is what it references for tracking, and I believe the oscillator is the way you control it. On MOST polyphonic synths, for years, they required you to have an external tracking pickup for your guitar that was made by Roland and was an additional $200 you need for proper polyphonic tracking. Just in recent years, there are poly synth pedals that have built in tracking now, but your options are limited to a few pedals made by Boss, EHX, and Meris. The Boss SY1 is what you might want to start out with, but if you’re liking the sound of Bit Commander and Data Corrupter, chances are you’ll only find that kind of glitchy sound in a mono synth. Hope this helps!

@vltirsarnat9405 7 жыл бұрын

potatopotatopotato I think they intentionally left it off as a style choice. PLL pedals are kind of a no brakes sort of affaire. I bought one for bass and I can say in all the different ways I use it I don't need a clean blend. It's not like a traditional fuzz. I think you would enjoy using it by playing an octave up and dialing in the sub-harmonic to compensate your low end.

@StatutoryRock 6 жыл бұрын

Ya I agree with you. Any kind of petal should have the blend now days. It just makes them so much more versatile.

Thanks for an amazing pedal review. The jury is still out for me. It's a bit of a one-trick pony and I can get some pretty goofy sounds out of my H9, though nothing this insane and broken, and the H9 cannot reproduce a PLL. What bothered me most about this pedal was the constant dive bomb every time I stopped playing, and that was a big reason I sought out (and found) videos such as yours to see if this could be adjusted. I will give the pedal another try. As others have said, those of us who play synth do have a gazillion options open to us on there and I've wondered if tweaking with my synth would make this pedal unnecessary, and do I want a separate pedal just to make a particular kind of sound? I wish it took an expression pedal so I could adjust some parameters while playing. It would also be nice to be able to save presets. I got a very nice sound out of it (if you call any of it's sounds "nice") at one point but couldn't reproduce it later as I kept messing with knobs. In retrospect, I should have taken a picture of my settings. I really love that "breaking up" sound when playing stops.

This pedal reminds me of Jimi Hendrix and how incredible he was with pedals. Some of these not all were achieved by Hendrix with what he had. The data corrupter does things for u really. But i think its a fantastic pedal for older guys who dont have the energy they once had to fuck around getting sounds on a guitar. this does it for you if u want. its also a very nice sounding fuzz. a lot of fuzz pedals i checked out dont sound like a big ass fat assault of fuzz like this. i like it very much and think it can be super useful. some think it cant be useful but i doubt that. i dont think you have to make dive bombs and Mario sounds on it.
