Product Description
Controls
The Master Oscillator is the central nervous system at the heart of the Data Corrupter’s cyberpunk hive mind. It feeds your input to the signal harvester in its original octave (Unison), one octave down (-1) or two octaves down (-2) for maximum compatibility with your preferred instrument and frequency register. Once you’ve chosen your input octave, then the Data Corrupter will perform its calculations and spit out an analog synthesized frequency, which can be pitch-bent for portamento or vibrato sounds by the Frequency Modulator! From there, you can blend in one of eight Subharmonic intervals up to three octaves below the input and mix in a square wave fuzz tone for maximum data corruption.
Design Notes
This 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.
Nerd Talk
The 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.

I had written a pretty fast descending hammer on riff and I thought the pedal would be perfect for it - but it wasn't at all. Any simultaneous notes will get mangled into a wet pixelated fart / screech when trying to use all three aspects of the ring. You can tone things down and play get some middling chords to come out somewhat intentional, but there's no reason to pick this over a simple synth or even pitch shifter in that case.
It shines when you stop trying to force your music into and rather write with the pedal in mind. You can have a hell of a lot of control over the oscillator exponentially reacting to your playing speed, it's incredibly controllable for something that modulates based off of the notes you had previously fed into it. This is awesome for doing something like a gradual tempo increase that actually alters the tone and color of what you're playing in a predictable way.
That being said I would love to see the rate knob split to a separate attack so that you could control both the tracking and the dive of the synth independently. I think this would increase the tracking accuracy as well. I haven't mastered this thing by any means but I've got a couple new tracks in the works that would have been impossible live without it.
Also there is no dry out so you're going to want a split at some point before this on your chain. That being said it feels weird to need to split your dry only to put it back through the same amp which sounds GREAT but again, a mix knob or even a bypass would drastically improve the usability and add some common sense convenience to what is an AMAZINGLY dynamic pedal - the only issue is the dynamics launch into another dimension completely which makes it harder to use than it needs to be.
5 stars for concept, 5 stars for the art this thing can pump out, 3 for usability.
