The Data Corrupter is one of EarthQuaker Devices’ most radical creations—a monophonic, modulated PLL synthesizer that transforms your guitar signal into a crushed, harmonized, octave-stacked synth tone. Combining square wave fuzz, oscillator-driven modulation, and programmable subdivisions, the Data Corrupter creates glitchy, electronic, and harmonically rich soundscapes that explode with character inside any guitar effects setup.
The Data Corrupter is pure inspiration. It turns your guitar into a brutal, harmonized synth machine capable of robotic melodies, glitchy pulses, octave chaos, and rich, modulated textures. Whether you play experimental music, noise, electronic rock, or simply want a pedal that sparks new musical ideas, this one stands in a category of its own.
