New EHX Bitcrusher

[Swimming Bird]

EHX bitcrushes you back to the '80s with its Mainframe pedal | MusicRadar

Definitely biting on Malekko, but taking the Scrutator design another step by adding interesting modulation (pitch and envelope based) control of sample rate and bitcrushing. Plus some preset functionality.

I don't need it I don't need it I don't need it

Really nice to finally see a bit crusher that sounds more Nintendo than FM synthesis. Tracking is something I've sorely missed in bit crushers. It's good to see something that is both feature complete and an actual bit crusher.

I don't know but to me sounds kinda crappy.

Electro-Harmonix always doing something interesting. My favorite company if you count the number of pedals on my boards.

 

[Killing Floor]

Yahoo. Those guys swim around in an aquarium filled with Tang and LSD. They ever get it wrong.

@cgruti Thats the whole point of bitcrusher.

I am sorely dissapointed with the filter on Malekko. Maybe it is not fair to compare it to a Waldorf filter but Once you hear a good lowpass there is no going back.
No other video of this one, no bass demo, what is the price, weight, power draw?

I've seen a price of $179 usd. The power draw says 90mA at 9VDC.

Damn this looks like a winner!

I received my EHX Mainframe pedal yesterday and spent some time with it last night. It's a fun pedal and I'm enjoying it. EHX did a great job with this one.

Because people will buy it.

... I guess some will indeed...

You just have too many bits and probably are not yet aware of it.

You what?

 

[cheapbasslovin]

You what?

Are you one of the millions of men suffering from excess bit disorder? Ask your doctor is Mainframe is right for you.

Aahh...Nooo...not suffering from such, but thanks for expressing concern.

Did anyone try this pedal? Could it do that sound @ 3:57?

 

[Feral Feline]

Looked very promising, then I saw the side jacks. Haven't even listened to it.

May the paradigm fall, once and for all.


SGFX is, thankfully, finally on the right track...

I got mine just yesterday and yeah, something like that can be pulled off. The expression pedal stuff seems a bit complex but very potent. I'm really liking it so far!
