DESIGN NOTES
This device takes its inspiration from the Electrax
Synthax and the "Basic Frequency Synthesizer" by Ray
Marston. Neither of these were really intended to be
guitar effect pedals and a lot of work went into creating
the Data Corrupter to provide excellent tracking and
long sustain. We think you'll find it more expressive and
accurate than pretty much any other PLL based effect
pedal around.
FLEXI-SWITCH
TECHNOLOGY
®
This device features Flexi-Switch Technology! This
relay-based, true bypass switching style allows you
to simultaneously use momentary and latching-style
switching.
• For standard latching operation: Tap the footswitch
once to activate the effect and then tap again to bypass.
• For momentary operation: With the effect off, hold the
footswitch down for as long as you'd like to use the effect.
Once you release the switch, the effect will be bypassed.
Since the switching is relay-based, it requires power to
pass signal.

POWER REQUIREMENTS
Current Draw .................... 26 mA
This device takes a standard 9 volt DC power supply with
a 2.1mm negative center barrel. We recommend using
a pedal-specific, transformer-isolated, wall-wart power
supply or a power supply with multiple isolated-outputs.
Pedals will make extra noise if there is ripple or unclean
power. Switching-type power supplies, daisy chains and
non-pedal specific power supplies do not always filter
dirty power and may result in unwanted noise.
DO NOT RUN AT HIGHER VOLTAGES!
TECH SPECS
Input Impedance ................ 1 MΩ
