Earthquaker Devices Bit Commander V2 Octave Synth Pedal

The Bit Commander is a monophonic analog guitar synthesizer with four octaves of vintage square wave synth tones. Its no-nonsense interface makes it easy to add or subtract octaves to create a wide variety of sounds without having to dial in envelopes or oscillators. Ripping sub-octave thump, pulsing octave down, a lightly squared base tone, and a swelling transformer-based octave up all join together to make a single guitar sound like an army of old Tyme synths.
