Board in the bedroom.

First three pedals I ever bought (besides that one multi-effects B1Xon I was gifted years ago). Hoping to add a little more to this over time.

All I could want out of a bitcrusher

Does what it's supposed to along with loads of options on tap. Reduce sample rate and/or bit rate as needed, both work just fine independently depending on the kind of sound you're looking for. I also really appreciate the mix and preamp knobs there so that one can maintain some sense of control over the lovely trash you can generate and punch it up if the input's just too damn quiet.

Have fun with filters! Read the manual and learn how to switch between band-pass and high-pass modes depending on what suits your instrument best. You can even make this pedal sound like a terribly atonal, tinnitus-tier ring mod like what Lastgasp's Sick Pitch King units can do — but with additional bitcrushing! God, I love hurting my ears!

The expression input is a great addition, but I docked a star from my rating as it's difficult to set and undo parameters associated to my expression pedal during setup. It was unintuitive for me and still is, but that might just be a me problem.

Anyway, this sounds great on bass, drums and synths. Praise Malekko.

Preferred Settings + Usage:

Sounds its worst (meaning best here) @ band-pass with the filter knob around noon and the Q/amplitude knob almost anywhere east. Generates a constant shrill ring as you play.
