It takes your input signal and brutally amplifies it into a crushing square wave fuzz tone that is then multiplied, divided and modulated to create a wild, yet repeatable, three-voice guitar synthesizer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Master Oscillator is the central nervous system at the heart of the Data Corrupter’s cyberpunk hive mind. The three-position switch on the Master Oscillator control panel labeled Root feeds your input to the Data Corrupter’s signal harvester in its original octave (Unison), one octave down (-1) or two octaves down (-2). Use the Master Oscillator’s Root switch to fine tune the Data Corrupter’s tracking response for maximum compatibility with your preferred instrument and frequency register. Once you’ve chosen your input octave, the Data Corrupter will perform its calculations and spit out a synthesized frequency, the octave and\/or interval of which may be selected via the Master Oscillator’s eight-position rotary switch. The Voice Mixer’s Oscillator control adjusts the Master Oscillator blend.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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. To unleash the cracked machine lurking within the Data Corrupter mainframe, set the Subharmonic Root switch to Oscillator and try not to look away as the sonic malware you just installed mangles your input signal into the sum and difference of both the Master Oscillator and Subharmonic with the Frequency Modulator applied to the upper and lower octaves. If you think you’re brave enough, set the Subharmonic Root switch to Oscillator and try experimenting with different Master Oscillator and Subharmonic programs to wind up the doomsday clock and inch ever closer to the Singularity. Adjust the Voice Mixer’s Subharmonic control to set the lower octave volume.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Square control located top-left on the Voice Mixer blends in a fuzzed-out square-wave take of your input in its original octave. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach and every Data Corrupter is built one-at-a-time by a team of ensigns aboard the Starship Enterprise locked in orbit around the Borg Cube of Akron, Ohio, USA. Make it so. Engage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNerd Talk\u003cbr\u003eThe heart of this pedal is based around a CMOS Phase Locked Loop (PLL) IC. In a nutshell, the PLL takes your input signal and compares its phase and frequency against an oscillator, generates an output proportional to their difference then feeds it back to the oscillator. This then causes the oscillator to lock onto the input signal and generate a synthesized frequency. Pretty cool, right? This synthesized frequency is referred to as the Master Oscillator on the Data Corrupter.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaster Oscillator\u003cbr\u003eThe Master Oscillator takes it’s input from one of three sources: Unison, one octave down and two octaves down. Some frequencies are too high for the Master Oscillator to divide, therefore, shifting them down one or two octaves brings them back into the proper range (it also happens to sound super cool). These sources are referred to as “Root” and can be selected via a three-position switch. The Root is then fed into the PLL and multiplied to create one of eight different intervals over three octaves that are selected by the rotary switch to create your harmony! This harmony can then be manipulated via the Frequency Modulator section.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrequency Modulator\u003cbr\u003eThe Frequency Modulator has two modes, Glide and Vibrato. In Glide mode, the pitch will glide from note to note and the speed of the glide can be adjusted by the Rate control. At faster settings, this takes on a very cool phase shifting effect. In Vibrato mode, the pitch varies up and down to create a laser-like effect. The Frequency Modulator only affects the Master Oscillator, unless the Subharmonic Root switch is in the Oscillator position.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSubharmonic\u003cbr\u003eThe Subharmonic section of the Data Corrupter creates a sub octave of the Root and then divides it up into eight intervals over three octaves which are selected by the rotary switch to create your subharmonic harmony. The Root comes from one of two sources, Unison or the Master Oscillator. When Unison is selected, the Subharmonic will be a division of the square wave fuzz tone and the Frequency Modulator will have no effect. When Oscillator is selected, the Subharmonic will be a division of the Master Oscillator and the Frequency Modulator will be applied to the Subharmonic harmony.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVoice Mixer and Level\u003cbr\u003eThe Master Oscillator, Subharmonic and Square wave fuzz tone all have volume controls under the voice mixer section. Use these to blend the three voices together to taste. The Level is a master volume and determines the overall output level of the effect.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTracking\u003cbr\u003eThis pedal should be placed close to front of your signal chain and before any delay, reverb or modulation effect. While it will work with most bridge pickups, the neck pickup will provide the best tracking results. Precise picking and single notes will track quickly and cleanly. Chords and sloppy playing will result in chaos. There is no control over the amount of gain because it really needs to be fine-tuned to properly track. Weak signals (like backing off on the guitar volume) will lead to poor tracking and gating.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDesign Notes\u003cbr\u003eThis Device takes its inspiration from the Electrax Synthax and the “Basic Frequency Synthesizer” by Ray Marston. Neither of these were really intended to be guitar effect pedals and a lot of work went into creating the Data Corrupter to provide excellent tracking and long sustain. We think you’ll find it more expressive and accurate than pretty much any other PLL based effect pedal around.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Measures - 5.65? x 4.65? x 2.25? with knobs\u003cbr\u003e• Power - The Data Corrupter should be powered a standard 9-volt DC power supply with a 2.1mm negative center barrel.

It's like amplifier feedback with greater control and predictability, at any volume, even through headphones. Play as fast as your left hand can scurry through a lick. Fade a string in from a motionless state for a reverse-tape effect. Run the EBow across the strings for gorgeous arpeggios.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAdd distortion for a screaming guitar sound. This hand-held synthesizer provides an amazing variety of textures and tonal slurs – virtually an instrument in itself!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlaying the EBow directly over the pickup will increase your volume many fold and give you the crisp sound of super hot pickups. Moving away from the pickup gives you the mellow sound of a hollow body electric. This complete control over attack, decay and sustain, as well as a whole new range of tones and textures, makes the EBow one of the most expressive tools for the guitarist. The sounds you discover by experimenting with the EBow will amaze you.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrimer for EBow Players - The Basic Concepts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Energy Bow is a handheld electronic bow for guitar. Called the EBow for short, it focuses a sympathetic oscillating magnetic field on a single string and causes it to vibrate. Like a violin bow, it can affect the string in many ways. Bowing, bouncing and wiggling it can shape the tone and character across the harmonic and dynamic range. From muted horns to shrill distorted leads, from flute to harmonica. It also acts like a pick, activating one string at a time for fluid arpeggios, percussive strumming and rapid trills (tremolandos and pedal tones). It takes some practice to learn the moves and discover the variables of this knobless hand-held device.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe wide range of tones and textures come from technique not presets. Where it is positioned along the strings, how it is moved, whether it is tilted to one side or up on one end, how quickly it is slapped into place all contribute to the sound. One key variable is its interplay with your pickup. The closer you bring the EBow to a magnetic pickup that is on, the louder and brighter the sound. This only happens very close to the pickup. This is called the playing area. You can vibrate the string anywhere along its length from the nut to the bridge, but the dramatic volume change occurs only very near a pickup that is on. Staying in this small playing area gives you lots of control over the tone and volume dynamics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe EBow rides on two strings, straddling the one you're playing which is not touched by the EBow. Push the EBow against these support strings and the drive channel comes closer to the string that you're bowing intensifying the drive field for more string vibration. Less pressure or tilting the EBow away from the string decreases this drive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDon't be afraid of the EBow. Slide it along the strings, tilt it, slap it into place over the pickup and see what happens. Try it over all your pickups to hear the difference in tone. Mostly it is played over the neck or rhythm pickup but not always. You'll have to press the EBow pretty hard against the strings when you're back near the bridge or it won't drive the string at all. When you hear something you like, try to repeat it. Then master it as a technique.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlay with your amp and guitar 'tone and volume' settings when using the EBow. Usually, you'll want to cut the highs and lower the volume but not always. Mostly you don't want the string to buzz against the EBow drive channel but sometimes you may even want that effect. You get the most control playing near the pickup but sometimes you might want a very clean natural string sound and you'll stay far from the pickup. You'll have to turn up the volume if you play away from the pickup and changing to another string will then be clanky if you don't muffle the support strings. There are no rules just techniques. You're sure to discover your own.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt's been called the most revolutionary development in guitar technology since Leo Fender electrified the instrument in 1948.

The principal is simple: a focused feedback loop directed at a single string. This produces a powerful, infinite sustain, rich in harmonics for incredible guitar sounds. It's like amplifier feedback with greater control and predictability, at any volume, even through headphones. Play as fast as your left hand can scurry through a lick. Fade a string in from a motionless state for a reverse-tape effect. Run the EBow across the strings for gorgeous arpeggios.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAdd distortion for a screaming guitar sound. This hand-held synthesizer provides an amazing variety of textures and tonal slurs – virtually an instrument in itself!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlaying the EBow directly over the pickup will increase your volume many fold and give you the crisp sound of super hot pickups. Moving away from the pickup gives you the mellow sound of a hollow body electric. This complete control over attack, decay and sustain, as well as a whole new range of tones and textures, makes the EBow one of the most expressive tools for the guitarist. The sounds you discover by experimenting with the EBow will amaze you.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrimer for EBow Players - The Basic Concepts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Energy Bow is a handheld electronic bow for guitar. Called the EBow for short, it focuses a sympathetic oscillating magnetic field on a single string and causes it to vibrate. Like a violin bow, it can affect the string in many ways. Bowing, bouncing and wiggling it can shape the tone and character across the harmonic and dynamic range. From muted horns to shrill distorted leads, from flute to harmonica. It also acts like a pick, activating one string at a time for fluid arpeggios, percussive strumming and rapid trills (tremolandos and pedal tones). It takes some practice to learn the moves and discover the variables of this knobless hand-held device.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe wide range of tones and textures come from technique not presets. Where it is positioned along the strings, how it is moved, whether it is tilted to one side or up on one end, how quickly it is slapped into place all contribute to the sound. One key variable is its interplay with your pickup. The closer you bring the EBow to a magnetic pickup that is on, the louder and brighter the sound. This only happens very close to the pickup. This is called the playing area. You can vibrate the string anywhere along its length from the nut to the bridge, but the dramatic volume change occurs only very near a pickup that is on.

Less pressure or tilting the EBow away from the string decreases this drive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDon't be afraid of the EBow.

You get the most control playing near the pickup but sometimes you might want a very clean natural string sound and you'll stay far from the pickup. You'll have to turn up the volume if you play away from the pickup and changing to another string will then be clanky if you don't muffle the support strings. There are no rules just techniques.
