Ascender

The Polarbear Effects Ascender is a multi-effect stompbox that combines fuzz, bitcrusher, and delay effects in a single unit. This fuzz/bitcrusher/delay effects pedal features a heavy silicon-based fuzz circuit as the first stage, which can be independently activated via the right footswitch. An integrated TRS FX loop (stereo Y-cable required) allows for the placement of external effects between the fuzz and the bitcrusher/delay sections. The left footswitch engages both the bitcrusher and delay effects, while a dedicated toggle switch enables bypassing the bitcrusher. An order switch lets users change the signal path between the bitcrusher and delay modules. The FDR and FDC settings provide further tonal variation by adjusting the interactive behavior between the bitcrusher and delay stages. **Key Features:** - Multi-effect fuzz/bitcrusher/delay effects pedal - Independent fuzz activation with right footswitch - FX loop (TRS Y-cable required) to insert additional effects between fuzz and bitcrusher/delay - Bitcrusher bypass toggle and order switch for flexible signal routing - FDR/FDC settings for interactive bitcrusher and delay behavior - Supports mono input/output configuration
