Review Demo - EarthQuaker Devices Data Corrupter

Описание: Read the review: http://bit.ly/EQDDataCorrupter

Which would you prefer: another transparent overdrive that provides authentically tube-like warmth without sacrificing the distinctive character of your guitar? Or a bizarro box that makes your guitar sound like a sketchy DIY synthesizer project from a 1972 middle school science fair?

Silly question, I know. What kind of freakazoid wouldn’t opt for the sketchy science fair synth? Well, you’re in luck: EarthQuaker Devices has enshrined a bit of antique synth technology in a cool new stompbox/noise bomb.

The Data Corrupter exploits phased-locked looping (PPL), a process that involves much math I am too ignorant to understand. But essentially, the circuit tracks the pitch of your guitar and translates it into a simple square-wave signal. Square waves sound fat and buzzy—they can almost feel like fuzzed-out guitar tones.

Next, the Data Corrupter multiplies and divides the square waves, yielding both a higher and lower transposition. A pair of knobs sets the transposition interval for each generated voice up to three octaves higher or lower than the square wave tone. (Most options are unisons and fifths, though there are a couple of more clangorous intervals available.) You set the relative levels of the voices via a 3-knob mixer. Finally, you can apply LFO vibrato to higher and lower tones, or apply synth-style portamento (gliding between pitches).
