EarthQuaker launches Data Corrupter pedal

Pedal specialist EarthQuaker Devices, has launched the Data Corrupter Modulated Monophonic PLL Harmonizer.

The Data Corrupter is a three-voice Modulated Monophonic PLL Harmonizer that takes an input signal and amplifies it into a square wave fuzz tone that is then multiplied, divided, and modulated to create a harmonically complex, expressive, and touch-responsive analog synth tone up to three octaves below (or above) the original, plus additional harmonies.

The Data Corrupter’s Master Oscillator adjusts the frequency range and tracking response of the input signal, which is then synthesized and harmonized by one of eight Master Oscillator programs, adjustable by an eight-way rotary switch. From there, 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. For a more stable lower octave, set the Subharmonic’s Root switch to the Unison position, which divides the Square Wave input signal, and removes the Frequency Modulator from the Subharmonic signal path.

The Data Corrupter is now available worldwide and in the UK through ADG.
