Next at ProGuitarShop and ToneReport.com, we’re crunching some numbers with the Data Corrupter, from EarthQuaker Devices. The Data Corrupter is a monophonic PLL-based synthesizer that is as limitless as your imagination. The front-end of the Data Corrupter superdistorts your signal until it’s a monstrous square-wave fuzz, then set free into the machine to wreak havoc by chopping, multiplying and dividing your guitar into analog-synth style squelches and harmonies. The crux of the Data Corrupter is a network of parts that form the Master Oscillator, which governs every bit of the pedal. Any signal sent through the Data Corrupter is manhandled by the Master Oscillator at any sort of interval that you choose. You choose the octave of the Master Oscillator, which in turn manipulates the frequency range and the tracking response of the input signal. Eight user-selectable processing programs synthesize and harmonize the crushing fuzz tone. The harmonized tone heads into a frequency modulator which gives you portamento-style glide effects or pitch vibrato. You can then feed that signal into a Subharmonic control, giving you eight more programs which deliver as low as an amp-pulverizing three octaves below the original signal for sounds that you feel instead of hear. Changing the Root control in the Subharmonic section to Oscillator unleashes a flood of synthesized tone mangling that will force audiences and bandmates to enter the grid. And just like all EarthQuaker Devices, the Data Corrupter is made one at a time deep within the wires of the ENCOM mainframe in Akron, Ohio.
