MASTER OSCILLATOR
The Master Oscillator takes it's input from one of three
sources: Unison, one octave down and two octaves down.
Some frequencies are too high for the Master Oscillator to
divide, therefore, shifting them down one or two octaves
brings them back into the proper range (it also happens
to sound super cool). These sources are referred to as
Root and can be selected via a three-position switch. The
Root is then fed into the PLL and multiplied to create one
of eight different intervals over three octaves that are
selected by the rotary switch to create your harmony!
This harmony can then be manipulated via the Frequency
Modulator section.
FREQUENCY MODULATOR
The Frequency Modulator has two modes, Glide and
Vibrato. In Glide mode, the pitch will glide from note to
note and the speed of the glide can be adjusted by the
Rate control. At faster settings, this takes on a very cool
phase shifting effect. In Vibrato mode, the pitch varies
up and down to create a laser-like effect. The Frequency
Modulator only affects the Master Oscillator, unless the
Subharmonic Root switch is in the Oscillator position.
SUBHARMONIC
The Subharmonic section of the Data Corrupter creates
a sub octave of the Root and then divides it up into eight
intervals over three octaves which are selected by the
rotary switch to create your subharmonic harmony.
The Root comes from one of two sources, Unison or
the Master Oscillator. When Unison is selected, the
Subharmonic will be a division of the square wave fuzz
tone and the Frequency Modulator will have no effect.
When Oscillator is selected, the Subharmonic will be
a division of the Master Oscillator and the Frequency
Modulator will be applied to the Subharmonic harmony.
VOICE MIXER AND LEVEL
The Master Oscillator, Subharmonic and Square wave
fuzz tone all have volume controls under the voice mixer
section. Use these to blend the three voices together to
taste. The Level is a master volume and determines the
overall output level of the effect.
TRACKING
This pedal should be placed close to front of your signal
chain and before any delay, reverb or modulation effect.
While it will work with most bridge pickups, the neck
pickup will provide the best tracking results. Precise
picking and single notes will track quickly and cleanly.
Chords and sloppy playing will result in chaos. There
is no control over the amount of gain because it really
needs to be fine-tuned to properly track. Weak signals
(like backing off on the guitar volume) will lead to poor
tracking and gating.
