The Bit Commander is a monophonic analog guitar synthesizer with four octaves of vintage square wave synth sounds. Its simple interface makes it easy to add or subtract octaves to create a wide variety of sounds without having to dial in envelopes or oscillators. Ripping the sub-octave thud, pulsing the octave down, slightly square base tone and octave up based on a swelling transformer all come together to make a single guitar sound like an army of synths old.

Ring Modulation Vacuum
Take every riff into the burning vortex of the black hole. The Star Gate has opened into the Sonic Beyond.
This device is a true bypass and uses relay-based electronic switching. Audio will not come through without power.
Power
This device uses a standard 9 volt DC power supply with a 2.1mm negative center barrel. We always recommend pedal-specific, transformer-isolated wall power supplies or multiple power supplies with isolated outputs. The pedals will make extra noise if there is ripple or impure power. Switching power supplies, daisy chains, and non-pedal-specific power supplies don't filter dirty power as well and let unwanted noise through. DO NOT OPERATE AT HIGHER VOLTAGES!
