Added description taken from http://www.effekt-boutique.de/iron-ether-frantabit-sample-rate-bit-reducer.html

The FrantaBit is a digital bit crusher and sample rate reducer. It offers a wide array of glitchy digital tones, lo-fi crunchiness, video game synth sounds and buzzsaw harmonics. It is designed to be extremely powerful, but simple to use and dial in.
The FrantaBit includes an expression jack which can be assigned to bit depth, sample rate, both, or clean/effect mix – expanding performance possibilities in a live environment and in the studio.
New and improved for 2016: The FrantaBit has been retooled with a new expression attenuator knob and improved expression response, allowing the user more detailed control over the expression sweep.
Controls
Samples: This control allows the user to lower the sample rate of the analog-to-digital conversion from 32khz down to <100hz, creating so-called aliasing effects – frequencies from the instrument begin to “fold” back downward, creating new harmonics and subharmonics. The frequency response is lowered as sample rate lowers, but instead of simply removing higher frequencies, they are mirrored back downward, to create strange harmonies and overtones.
Bits: From a pristine 24 bits down to a gated, fuzzed-out 1 bit, the Bits control introduces digital distortion artifacts, as the instrument’s amplitude is quantized into progressively fewer volume “bins”. With this type of distortion, the instrument actually becomes cleaner as it gets louder – the opposite of traditional harmonic distortion. Dynamic fuzz tones, digital destruction, and chiptune synths can be dialed in with this control.
Mix: Controls the relative volume of the clean and effect signals.
Volume: Controls overall volume.
Exp: This knob acts as a limiter on the expression pedal, setting how far the expression pedal can shift the parameter(s) it's controlling.
Expression Mode rotary switch: This 4-way switch allows the user to assign the expression pedal to any of the following:
S: Samples B: Bits +: Controls both Samples and Bits at the same time M: Mix
Degrade/Obliterate: This switch controls the behavior of the sample rate reduction. Degrade mode is true digital sample rate reduction, as described above. Obliterate mode emulates analog aliasing effects – a harsh, harmonically rich “pixellated” sound, much like square wave ring modulation, which creates synthy atonal waveforms.
Specifications
Low-noise, low-distortion active components chosen for excellent audio fidelity. Measures 4.7″ x 2.5″ (12cm x 6.3cm). Runs on industry-standard 9 volt DC center-negative power supply. 85mA current draw. Powersupply not included.
Relay-based true bypass. All jacks are located at the top of the pedal to save pedalboard space.
edited Hungry Robot Pedals The Wash
There was no description, so I added one.

The Wash is a dream come true for ambient player and ushers in a new chapter in the world of delays. It accomplishes the arduous task of creating an organic, below-the-mix wash. Normally this requires stacking 3-4 reverb and delay pedals at the end of your chain. The unique "Wash Circuit" creates the perfect wash with only one pedal.
At its most basic utility, The Wash is an outstanding analog-voiced, tap-tempo delay with just over 1000ms of delay time. The Wash can be used independently as a standalone delay or with in conjunction with "Wash Circuit."
The Wash circuit (right footswitch) is what makes the pedal stand out from other delays on the market. The Wash circuit adds reverb to the signal and through a complicated network of internal feedback loops, subtle multi-head Binson effect, and what i have coined "ripple effect," It works to add a hauntingly beautiful wash to your signal in ways that can't be accomplished by stacking a reverb and a delay in series. It does all of this while keeping the clarity and presence of your original signal without getting lost in the soup of decay.
The "Ripple" knob controls The Ripple Effect. The Ripple Effect is a feature in which each successive delay trail slowly scatters and transforms into reverb.
The "Resonance" knob is to fine-tune the resonance and decay of the wash.
The Middle "The Wash" knob controls the mix/level of the wash.
Powersupply not included. No special power supply is needed. Standard 9V power from a 1Spot, Voodoo Lab, or any industry power supply will work. Do not use reverse polarity. I dissuade using a generic "wallwart" for other devices as they are often mislableled, unregulated, or specifications misinterpreted.
