Malekko Heavy Industry Scrutator
The Scrutator Bit Crusher, Sample Rate, and Bit Reducer pedal rises from Malekko’s new and powerful DSP platform and is the first of many radical pedals to come.
External control over any combination of Rate, Bit, Filter, and Q controls is via an expression pedal or control voltage. Also, a switchable 2 pole bandpass or lowpass filter allows for extreme creative possibilities.
The Scrutator is a unique Sample Rate and Bit Reducer pedal with modulation control and includes the following features:
Features
- Pre Amp control for effect input gain/attenuation
- Bit Rate reduction control from 16bit to 2bit
- Sample Rate reduction control from approx. 48kHz to 300Hz
- Hands-free external control
- Q control for bandwidth and amplitude filter amount
- Clip LED indicates input clipping and adjustable with Pre Amp control
Controls
9 VOLT DC POWER JACK
Only for use with standard 2.5mm neg-tip 200mA 9volt DC power supply.
INPUT JACK
Connect instrument cable
EXPRESSION JACK INPUT
Connect expression pedal. BIT, RATE, FILTER, and Q controls are all capable of being controlled by the EXP/CV input. You can choose any combination of these pots for external control.
- BIT: Bit rate reduction. Approximately 16bit to 2bit.
- MIX: Dry/effect mix control.
- Q: Sets the bandwidth and amplitude amount of the filter.
- FILTER: Sets the frequency of low pass/band pass 2 pole filter.
- RATE: Sample rate reduction. Approximately 48kHz to 300Hz.
- PREAMP: Input gain/attenuation. Adjust per clipping LED. Unity gain approx 12 o’clock.
- CLIP LED: Indicates input clipping. Adjustable with PREAMP control.
- MAIN LED: Effect on/off
- OUTPUT: Connect to an amplifier
- STOMP SWITCH: Turns the effect on or off. Also used to assign expression/cv control and assign filter type selection.
Power
9v DC adapter (neg tip). Current draw is approximately 50mA.
The Malekko Scrutator is anything but your average bit crusher and with expression control, so be prepared to take your signal reduction to a whole new level.
Requires 9v DC centre negative supply . Current draw is approximately 50mA.
