Bitcrusher + Ring Mod?

[miggychunt]

Hey TB,

I've been looking for a pedal to cover a couple of things, since I'm all about multiple function pedals (reverb/delay, compressor/fuzz, etc.)

Outside of the Catalinbread Heliotrope I haven't been able to find a pedal that has both a bitcrusher and ring mod effect that can be controlled separately. I like being able to dial in a little bit crusher and a whole lot of ring mod and the other way around.

Any suggestions? I've been hitting Google pretty hard with no results so far.

Iron Ether Frantabit is what you need. Expression pedal can control both simultaneously
While it's not a called a ring mod, i find sample rate pedals can get close, and most have bit controls
Geiger counter
Mooer lofi machine

I don't know about "controlled separately", but the Dr Scientist Bitquest could be an option.

FWIW I've got a Frantabit and I'm not mega impressed with the sample rate reduction side of it; I've never found a setting that works well on bass really, or not nearly as well as my Bugcrusher which seems to suit the bass throughout its whole range.

a ringmod combines an oscillator signal with your (bass) signal > can sound pretty much out of tune and ads harmonics
a bitcrusher degrades your signal digitally > may sound more like distortion

hm, don't know if this was helpful...

Get a modular synth and you will have lots of options for ring mod, bit crush, sample rate reduction, wavetable distortion, frequency shifting, wave folding, and more.

+1 on the BitQuest. 8 effects in a small box that can be switched between clean and dirty with top jacks.

For modules....
- Doepfer A-189-1 VC Bit Modifier (bit crusher, crazy lofi delay, etcetera)
- WMD Geiger Counter (bit crusher, wavetable distortion)
- any Sample&Hold clocked at audio rates (sample rate reducer)
- Blacet/Wiard Mini-Wave (wavetable distortion, etcetera)
- SynthesisTechnology 560 Deflector Shield (Frequency Shifter, Ring mod, Phaser)
- Cwejman FSH-1 (Frequency Shifter, Ring Mod)
- Blacet Klangwerk (Ring mod with envelop follower and other features)

...and so many more.

Thanks, guys. I think I'll end up giving the BitQuest a try. The demo sounds awesome! Plus having another delay and reverb can't hurt!

We have a winnahhh!

Don't forget, the BitQuest also does that most-important-of-all effect...

FLANGERING! drool
