Pitcher and Ringer are my fave.
Love the clean with the ring the most I think, or the dirty pitcher...
Dirty Pitcher sounds like a crazy sex move. Yeesh.

Great clip, thanks Jason!

And thanks for the BitQuest support in general, guys, I've had lots of orders for them and the response seems really positive and people are having fun... pretty successful quest so far, I'd say.

Thanks, Ryan, I think the pitch shift was my favourite mode.

I have a question about the BitQuest, I was just wondering how does the Dirty/Clean aspect of the pedal work?
Say if I'm running an OD into the pedal, which is pretty clean but has abit of grit and saturation, I'd imagine I'd probably go for the clean setting?
I'd imagine experimenting with the two settings could produce some interesting sounds!

I don't have the most experience with the BitQuest since I was only borrowing one for a short time, but I'd probably use the clean setting if I were you.

The dirty settings are really loud. A cleanish OD might get a little overwhelmed by the dirty side.

Sorry for not catching this question earlier! I missed some stuff when we moved, catching up though! *apologies*

You don't have to use the dirty side of the BitQuest at all, you can just use it with your own dirt pedals and the clean patches and leave it like that. The dirty side is an adventurous digital fuzz that can do overdrive as well, it's got an unobtrusive digital noise gate on it, and the master volume controls it so you can have it be nice and quiet if you want.

I think you should experiment a bit with the dirty side for sure, the digital fuzz is cool sounding! *smile*

I may be cooking up a demo with the dirty side...

Because distortion.
