Ascender

The Ascender is a multi-effect guitar pedal that combines fuzz, bitcrusher, and delay effects. The heavy silicon-based fuzz is the primary effect in the signal chain and can be activated independently using the right footswitch. Designed to be central to your pedalboard, the Ascender features an FX loop that requires a TRS Y-cable, allowing you to insert additional effects between the fuzz and the bitcrusher/delay. The left footswitch engages the bitcrusher and delay, while the bitcrusher can be bypassed using the CRUSH toggle switch. You can also change the order of the bitcrusher and delay effects with the ORDER switch. The FDR setting enhances the bitcrusher's responsiveness to pick attack, while the FDC setting allows delay repeats to trigger the bitcrusher.
