WMD Geiger Counter

Special pedal effect: a mix of various preamp gains and audio bitcrusher from simple lo-fidelity level to total sonic destruction.

A 100% experimental effect!

notSOUND the WMD distorts and destructs sounds in a frequency range from 260 Hz to 58 kHz.
WMD destruction works in 2 main modes:
- internal bitcrusher reduces sampling resolution from 8 to 1 bits
- mask sound is processed through 256 digital internal waves with specific harmonics contents- the relative number showed in hexadecimal values on the segment display (from 00 to FF).

not MODIFICATION the "bass mod" adds better low end frequency response than the original.
It is made by the original company for now- I don't know about any schematics for now.
