Boutique effects pedal manufacturer
EarthQuaker Devices just released the
Data Corrupter Modulated Monophonic
PLL Harmonizer. The pedal is a three-
voice Modulated Monophonic PLL
Harmonizer that takes users input signal
and “brutally amplifies it into a crushing
square wave fuzz tone that is then multi-
plied, 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 "central nervous system at the
heart of the Data Corrupter’s hive mind,"
according to the company,
is the Master Oscillator
that adjusts the frequen-
cy range and tracking
response of the input sig-
nal, which is then synthe-
sized and harmonized by
one of eight programs,
adjustable by an eight-
way rotary switch.
From
there,
the
Frequency
Modulator
applies pitch-bend mod-
ulation to the Master
Oscillator. In Glide mode,
users will 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.
In Subharmonic mode, the pedal assim-
ilates the input signal into one of eight
lower octave programs between one and
three octaves below the original. For a
more stable lower octave.
To unleash amazing tones lurking
within the Data Corrupter mainframe,
users can set the Subharmonic Root switch
to Oscillator to mangle input signals into
the sum and difference of both the Master
Oscillator and Subharmonic with the
Frequency Modulator applied to the upper
and lower octaves.
The Data Corrupter Modulated
Monophonic PLL Harmonizer is available
at EarthQuaker Devices dealers world-
wide. MSRP is $250
