Death By Audio Robot 8-Bit Pitch Transposing Guitar Pedal

This Is the Robot, the 8-Bit Pitch Shifting, Lo-Fi, Ring Modulating Granualizer from Death by Audio

The Robot is a low-fidelity 8-bit pitch transposer with absolutely no feelings whatsoever. It is completely synthetic and transforms any input into a puree of resynthesized robot jargon. Features bendable super lo-fi fuzz, octave up, octave down, and arpeggiation. All modes are controlled by the Control Knob, which sets the frequency the chip operates at, changing and warping the pitch shifting and aliasing effects.
