EarthQuaker Devices Bit Commander v2 *Free Shipping in the USA*
In the words of EarthQuaker Devices:
The Bit Commander is a monophonic analog guitar synthesizer with four
octaves of vintage square wave synth tones. It’s no-nonsense interface
makes it easy to add or subtract octaves to create a wide variety of
sounds without having to dial in envelopes or oscillators. Ripping
sub-octave thump, pulsing octave down, a lightly squared base tone and a
swelling transformer based octave up all join together to make a single
guitar sound like an army of olde tyme synths.
Like all analog octave effects, there are some basic rules to follow
that will get you the most enjoyment from your Bit Commander. Use the
neck pickup and play single notes. The best tracking occurs from the 7th
fret up on all the strings. Below the 7th will still track but there
will be occasional glitches and stutters. The lower the note, the harder
it is for the Bit Commander to register. The use of Bass and lower
registers on keyboards will yield unexpected, sometimes pleasing,
sometimes disgusting results. These are not mistakes or flaws, it is the
nature of analog octaves.
