PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: This listing is for a The Squarewave Parade Downgrade v1 Sample Rate Reducer Bit Crusher Effects Pedal. The Squarewave Parade Downgrade is an extremely rare, discontinued analog sample rate reducer/bitcrusher effects pedal. Only a very limited number of units were made, such as the v2 model, which was limited to 10 units, making it a highly sought-after item.

SPECS:

• Serial # 12
• Date: February 2008
• The core function of the Downgrade pedal is an analog sample rate reduction, often described as a bitcrusher effect in the analog realm.
• Rate Reduction (Clock): The main "downgrade" knob controls the speed at which the sample and hold is triggered, allowing for a range of sounds from subtle degradation to aliasing noise.
• External Control (CV/Expression): The pedal is designed to interact with external sources. An expression pedal or Control Voltage (CV) source can be used to sweep the range of the sample rate reduction, with an internal switch to select between the two input types.
• Distortion: At higher settings, the pedal can produce significant self-oscillation and noise, which is considered a feature for noise enthusiasts.
• Input Compatibility: It can handle a variety of input signals, from direct guitar input to lower synth levels.
