The Korena take

Data Corrupter turns a single-note input into a three-voice PLL synth effect built around square-wave fuzz, octave shifts, and modulation. Select the Master Oscillator’s range and program, then shape its movement with sliding Glide or pitch-moving Vibrato. The Subharmonic adds lower-octave programs from one to three octaves down. Its Unison setting removes modulation from the lower voice for a more stable octave layer, while Oscillator mode combines the upper and lower voices with modulation applied.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Building monophonic fuzz-and-octave synth textures with selectable upper and lower oscillator programs.
  • Creating note-to-note slides with Glide or pitch movement with the Vibrato mode.
  • Using lower octave programs from one to three octaves beneath the original note.

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Polyphonic input processing; the pedal is specified as monophonic.

What matters in use

The specifications, translated

Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.

EarthQuaker Devices Data Corrupter Modulated Monophonic Harmonizing PLL construction detail

Detail 01

Master Oscillator

Three Root positions alter input frequency range and tracking response, while eight programs set the synthesized harmony.

Detail 02

Frequency Modulator

Glide produces a slide between notes; Vibrato moves pitch up and down.

Detail 03

Subharmonic Root: Unison

The lower signal is divided from the square-wave input and bypasses the Frequency Modulator.

Detail 04

Dimensions

The enclosure measures 3.62 x 2.24 x 4.61 inches.
