Experience a harmonized symphony of sonic chaos with the EarthQuaker Devices Data Corrupter. This pedal is a modulated monophonic Phase Locked Loop (PLL) harmonizer that amplifies your input signal into a brutal square wave fuzz tone. The result is a wild, yet predictable, three-voice synthesizer that adds depth and texture to your sound.

At the core of this pedal is the Master Oscillator, which provides a synthesized frequency based on your input signal. This can be adjusted to create harmonies up to three octaves above the original signal, offering a wide range of tonal possibilities.

The Frequency Modulator allows you to add pitch bend modulation to the Master Oscillator. In 'Glide' mode, you’ll enjoy a smooth portamento as each note slides into the next. In 'Vibrato' mode, the pitch modulates up and down, creating an exciting retro sci-fi laser effect.

The Subharmonic section of the pedal assimilates the input signal into one of eight lower octave programs. This allows you to add depth to your tone by generating harmonies up to three octaves below the original signal.
