| | | | MXR El Grande Bass Fuzz.
Search for it, it sounds good. Modern mid-rangey fuzz with good tonal variety. |

As much as I like the El Grande, I don't think it has a digital or bitchrush sound at all...

"Bass Bit Fuzz
If the 8-bit fuzz is lacking the tight low end and is too gated then the Bass Bit is what you're looking for. It's very compressed and retains the full bass side of your signal to keep your amp thumping. Originally designed for bass guitar, but many guitarists have decided to use it since it has such a full low end. True bypass & volume knob.
Availability: assembled when ordered
$100
Add an LED: $25"

It's an 8-bit fuzz... Nintendo-ish.

I just picked up an Ultra Fuzz, and it sounds awesome combined with an envelope filter. Very synthy and fat. |

It's an 8-bit fuzz... Nintendo-ish. | IIRC, I've heard a lot of bad buzz on the FX doctor stuff. Basically the reliability doesn't seem to be there based on the reports of many a TBer. The Devi Ever BIT, and BIT Mangler might get you there, also the MXR Blue Box can do some NES-like stuff, as well as the Mid-Fi Glitch Computer, which is basically a super-glitchy Blue Box. Any sort of synth or fuzz that does extreme-square-wave stuff will get you most of the way there |

My Bass Microsynth gets glitchy and gated fuzzy weirdness depending on attack and settings. In a guitar heavy mix it sounds more like an evil fuzz than a synth the way I typically have it set.

So "NE" wouldn't get anything, but "NES" works fine. And as Karate pointed out, there's the Google TB search which will look up any string.
-Sorry for the derail, folks! Back to discussing bit-crushing video-game effects! I'll bring it back on track by mentioning the Alesis Bitrman, which is maybe not the greatest but you can find them very cheaply. |

I've tried twice to get one of these, once direct (never got a response) and once from a dealer (arrived dead). |
