http://freqbox-pedals.com/sonic-bits.htmlAnyone have any experience with this company? I clicked an ad and clicked on Sonic Bits because it had the coolest name and it is definitely their coolest pedal. Digital delay with the ability to bit crush the direct signal and keep the echos clean or vice versa. I was going to get a the Syle delay, but this is super tempting. Comes in just under $200 usd.

I've always wanted to be able to do the weird chimey things in the chorus of "Maps" with one pedal. Never started a "how would you do it?" thread. But maybe this thing could.

P.S. Nick Zinner uses a drum machine to get the sound.

i bought this last month, its a real cool-but weird gear to play with. i got it with the arpeggiator add on that makes this even more weird.. i believe they have a video for this somewhere at their website:S
although i would love to see some modulation and a tap tempo for the delay:(

I've never heard of this, but man, that's a bizarre idea.

On and off the bit crushy thing so it can be a regular delay.

y thats the one, althought mine is a little bit differnt looking. i mostly use the arpeggiator on the bit crusher. The only thing i dont like is that there isnt a led indicator on the arpeggiator so u need to remeber if its on or off.

That delay is pretty cool, I both bitcrushed dry and clean delay and the reverse are really interesting sounds. Is that small controller pedal a normal CV generator that can be used with other pedals, or something weird that only works with pedals from this company?

manual says it just works with their pedals.. still i tested on a moogerfooger low pass and it worked, but was hard to set the knobs on the controler..
so i guess if it works with moog staff it should work for other pedals...(?)

Just discovered this brand. That bitcrushed delay looks pretty cool.
I'm also digging this:
