here's a lame-ass demo. I'm playing a discarded umbrella into a TV that's on fire.

It's a bunch of stuff. A bitcrusher, samplerate reducer, a granular sampler/repeater/glitcher, a harsh digital fuzz and noise source. Controls are as follows (left to right):

top:
bitdepth: bitcrush from 8 to 1 bit. things get noisy and ugly and awesome!
samplerate: rate reduction, atari/nintendo-ish sounds, etc
tone: just a big muff tonestack. middle is neutral. right is high boost, left is low boost.
blend: wet-dry blend
volume: makes the pedal vomit kittens

bottom:
grain size: sample size of the granular sampling buffer.
grain mod: modulates the grain sample up or down in pitch
glitch 1 and glitch 2: makes it stutter in different ways. the toggle switch at the top makes the soft-stomp on the right active one or the other of the buttons.

Sorry, but your pedal has at least one bug

Seriously, that pedal looks and sounds exquisite. Well done.

Now that is a Samplerate Reducer.

My name's Matthew S. and my card says Sculptor, Sound Artist, Writer, and Noise/Drone Musician. You can find some releases for free on my blog via my profile.
Been dabbling in pedals for about a year now (two if you count the year my first pedal spent sitting in a box, not working solely because of a miswired 3pdt). Muff pcb from GGG, ds-1 is all the mods i could find online on a rotary switch plus the deviever mod, oscillator is a 40106, gristleizer is from gaussmarkov with a ggg chargepump but isnt working right yet (probably a dead tranny, which sounds like a phrase from a Spillane novel). The tape machine is courtesy of the amazing casper: http://casperelectronics.com/images/finishedpieces/barbie-karaoke/blackandwhite.jpg
I'm working on a new and improved (multiple) tape machine now.

@Nychthemeron: THANKS!
@cloudscapes: i really love your work and have been checking your blog periodically and oogling your pedals for awhile now. if i had the cash, you'd have most of it. thanks for the props.
