Pigtronix Space Rip Pwm Synth
Pigtronix · pedal
The Pigtronix Space Rip is a PWM (pulse-width modulation) synthesizer pedal from Pigtronix, generating modulated pulse-width oscillator synth tones from a guitar signal rather than processing the guitar's own tone. It's built for players chasing genuinely synth-like textures -- oscillator-based tones with the buzzy, modulating character of pulse-width synthesis -- rather than a conventional guitar effect. It suits experimental, space-rock, and electronic-influenced players wanting real oscillator synth character from a guitar rather than a filter or modulation effect layered on top of the dry signal.
