Crunchy bitcrusher goodness!The Bitmap 2 offers fractional bit reduction (essentially creating distortion by reducing audio signal resolution) and sample rate modulation.Version 2 adds in waveshaping, wavefolding and a window comparator for extreme digital distortion.Capable of sampling at one to 24 bits and going from warm, analog synth to a caustic 8-bit sound, this effect is perfect for exploring electronic noisescapes.A drive control handles everything from single coil guitars to synths, with enough gain to sound like an overdriven mixer channel.Modulation and envelope control create dynamic, responsive distortion and digital artifacts.A synth-inspired 4-pole lowpass filter rolls off the harsh high frequencies that can be created by the aliasing and artifacts generated from bit reduction.Like other Red Panda offerings, the Bitmap 2 offers stereo audio input and output via TRS jacks, making it a great candidate for synths and more.For additional control, an assignable control jack can be used for expression pedals, remote switches for preset and tap tampo management.The USB port can also be used for MIDI data, and is further useful for updating firmware and editing presets via a computer.You can save four presets on the pedal itself and up to 127 via MIDI.Additionally, a web-based editor lets you edit presets and access hidden parameters.Red Panda Bitmap 2 Bitcrusher features:• Stereo bitcrusher and filter pedal.• Variable input Drive boosts signals up to +8dBu.• Fractional bit reduction ranges from 24-bits to 1-bit.• Sample rate reduction ranges from 48kHz down to 110 Hz.• Mix control blends between dry and wet signals, great for maintaining bass or fundamental frequencies.• Internal LFO and envelope follower modulation of sample rate time.• 4-pole lowpass filter.• Soft touch switches.• Assignable auxiliary footswitch for tap tempo or preset.• Assignable control port for expression pedal, external tap and preset switching.• USB port for configuration and MIDI control.• 4 presets via front panel, 127 via MIDI.• Web-based editor for editing presets and accessing hidden parameter.• Power: 9V DC.• Current Draw: 250mA.• Dimensions: 6" X 4" X 3".
