About Earthquaker Devices Data Corrupter

FEATURED REVIEWS

I love this pedal!

By Rex K.

This is an incredible fuzz synth pedal!

Before you dive into the sonic exploration that the Data Corrupter Modulated Monophonic Harmonizing PLL Pedal offers, let's unravel the advanced technology and innovative features that make this Earthquaker Devices creation a standout choice for musicians seeking a high-quality, durable, and versatile guitar synthesizer.

At the core of the Data Corrupter lies the Master Oscillator, the central nervous system of this cyberpunk-inspired device. It processes your guitar's input signal, transforming it into a potent square wave fuzz tone. This tone is then intricately multiplied, divided, and modulated, resulting in a three-voice guitar synthesizer that delivers wild, yet consistently repeatable, sonic textures.

The Master Oscillator presents you with a three-position switch, aptly labeled Root, which allows you to feed your signal into the signal harvester at its original octave (Unison), one octave down (-1), or two octaves down (-2). This feature ensures the Data Corrupter's compatibility with a wide range of instruments and frequency registers, tailoring its performance to your musical needs.

Once your input octave is selected, the Data Corrupter works its magic, emitting an analog synthesized frequency. This frequency can be dynamically altered with the Frequency Modulator, providing pitch-bent portamento or vibrato effects for added expression.

The Voice Mixer section of the pedal includes an Oscillator Control to adjust the blend of the Master Oscillator. Additionally, you can introduce one of eight Subharmonic intervals, reaching up to three octaves below the input, and mix in a square wave fuzz tone to achieve the ultimate level of data corruption.

For those seeking a stable lower octave, the Subharmonic's Root Switch can be set to Unison, dividing the Square Wave input signal and bypassing the Frequency Modulator from the Subharmonic signal path. Conversely, setting the Subharmonic Root Switch to Oscillator unleashes a cacophony of sound, melding the Master Oscillator and Subharmonic with the Frequency Modulator applied to both the upper and lower octaves.

The pedal's design is inspired by the Electrax Synthax and Ray Marston's "Basic Frequency Synthesizer," with significant enhancements to ensure excellent tracking and long sustain. The result is an expressive and accurate PLL-based effect pedal that stands out in the market.

The Data Corrupter also features Flexi-Switch Technology, offering both momentary and latching style switching. This relay-based, true bypass switching ensures that you can engage the effect momentarily or have it latched on, depending on your playing style.

Powering the Data Corrupter is straightforward; it requires a standard 9-volt DC power supply with a 2.1mm negative center barrel. For optimal performance, it's recommended to use pedal-specific, transformer-isolated wall-wart power supplies or multiple isolated-output supplies to avoid any unwanted noise from power inconsistencies.

In summary, the Data Corrupter Modulated Monophonic Harmonizing PLL Pedal is an advanced tool for guitarists who wish to push the boundaries of their sound. With its robust design, innovative modulation capabilities, and the revered Earthquaker Devices' craftsmanship, this pedal is poised to become an essential component in the signal chain of any musician looking to explore new sonic territories.
