Bitmap Bitcrusher

The Red Panda Bitmap V2 is a bitcrusher effects pedal designed for precise fractional bit reduction and sample rate modulation. This Red Panda effects pedal features additional sound-shaping tools, including waveshaping, wavefolding, and a window comparator circuit for advanced digital distortion. The drive circuit provides up to +8 dBu input level, supporting a range of instruments and offering sufficient gain for overdrive textures. Modulation and envelope controls allow for dynamic digital artifacts and distortion, while the architecture is optimized for sustain and avoids sputtering during short notes. Lower-intensity settings introduce nonlinearity reminiscent of vintage 8-bit and 12-bit samplers. The sample rate reduction enables classic “8-bit video game” sounds or introduces inharmonic melodic content. Sample rate modulation adds movement and complex digital textures. This pedal is compatible with guitar, bass, synthesizers, drum machines, and line level signals. **Features:** - Bitcrusher pedal with fractional bit reduction and sample rate modulation - Includes waveshaping, wavefolding, and window comparator for digital distortion - Drive control with +8 dBu maximum level accommodates a range of sources - Modulation and envelope controls for evolving distortion and dynamic response - Sample rate modulation and reduction for creating lo-fi, 8-bit, and inharmonic sounds - Compatible with bass instruments, synthesizers, drum machines, and line level sources
