Description

The Sonic Reducer bitcrusher is a sample rate reducer / aliaser that uses sample and hold to take ?snapshots? of your signal. It basically works as a crude analog to digital converter. A pulse oscillator determines at which frequency these samples are taken. The resolution pot controls the pulsewidth of the oscillator - wider pulse lets more clean signal though.

4 from 5 Cool and quite easy kit

It had 1 wrong resistor value in the bag. Fortunately I had the right one myself.
I could use all instructions in one file, instead of going to the sweedish site, for the switch/led wiring... other than that it works great.

4 from 5 Nice and LoFi sounding pedal.

Its very nice and interesting pedal, but the Documentation is confusing.

First: If you are building it, be aware that you are looking at the right Documentation, either version 1.1 or 2.0, because the parts are different.

Second: Wiring Documentation is a bit tricky to find, so i would recomend buying one of those DP3T pcbs to make it easier.

Overall: A great pedal, just be aware that you are looking at the right documetation while building. :-)

5 from 5 Just perfect

Easy build, super sound.

4 from 5 Great effect, but it sounds like a ring modulator as well

I expected something similar, but somehow without the „ring modulator“-sound. Still, it’s a fun and useful effect and I‘ll experiment with it live. One component, a 15k resistor, was missing, but I just used one I have lying around.
The PCB itself is very well built.
Recommended: isolation rubber stickers for the back of the pots.

5 from 5 Tasteful bit crusher!

Its a nice, tidy and pretty build, as always with the Parasite Studio kits. I love the way Fredric does his layouts! I dont think the demo does it enough justice, tho. It goes from being a really musical and subtle effect, all the way to bit crushing and noisy nonsense, and everything in between. And it does it well. A great design and a great effect.

5 from 5 fantastic bitcrusher

A great bitcrusher, really like the ranges! From very subtle to proper reduced. An easy build in my opinion
