EarTech Earthquaker Devices Data Corrupter Modulated Monophonic
Eartech · pedal
The EarthQuaker Devices Data Corrupter is a monophonic ring modulator and harmonizer pedal from the Akron, Ohio boutique builder, generating heavily modulated, synth-like tones through a Master Oscillator, a Frequency Divider for harmonic intervals, and a Sub Octave section. The result is a pedal capable of producing massive synth bass textures, robot-like harmonics, chaotic ring-modulated noise, and controlled modulated drone tones. Track well on single notes; complex chords produce unpredictable results. Designed for experimental, ambient, stoner rock, and players seeking extreme sonic transformation.
