EarthQuaker - Data Corrupter 

This pedal will prove indispensable in our eventual war against the robots. My advice is to order one now before it's too late.

I'm really glad Earthquaker learned their lesson with the Rainbow Machine and had you review this pedal as soon as it came out.

Earthquaker is unstoppable. Every pedal is a banger

Gotta say, ... your videos are very entertaining, but so informative. You outline which control you are using, then show what it does. In a really neat way. Exactly what we need to know about these pedals before purchasing. And concisely. Well done.

Most of the time I just let these videos be the background music while I do other stuff. But this pedal..........

This video was by far the best I've seen for this crazy ass pedal. Earthquaker alone is going to inspire so many new bands

The Yousician ad should have more of this applied to it.

I do t always roll one before a pedal vid...but when I do, It's knobs.

Vibrato with the knob at the center position at 4:26 sounds like Yoko Ono

This is the gold standard format for pedal demos. Also, you really took time to get into specifics while providing background details; which really makes it approachable for peasants like myself who learned everything on the same 4 modeling amp settings.

This demo gives me hope. Thank you.

these videos awaken a childlike spirit in me that is incredibly satisfying

I don't normally gush, but your video review/walkthroughs are the bees knees, man. It's at the point were if I see that you've made a new one I just buy the gear and watch the video after I get it to see if I'm missing something. I am, and you point it out, and I continue on with my good brooding in a more enlightened fashion. Good show old boy.

Weird compliment here man, but I love how you communicate. I've noticed in all of your videos, a very aesthetic, witty and funny form of english. Is it possible to learn this power?

This is the best video for this pedal out there. I planned on getting one just for the chaotic aspect of it, but to know that it can actually be used musically is wonderful! Also, that sequencer stuff is

so my question is: does it track chords? or is it like the bit commander where it only tracks single notes?

The demo I have been waiting for!

perfect name choice for this amazing pedal

Cool, now I can finally nail the holy grail of guitar tones: "Space Harrier on the Atari ST"

At first I was worried this would be a Death By Audio ripoff but this thing is its own beast. Fantastic!

This is the one i need. Was looking at this, MXR layers, EQD bit commander, and Montreal assembly Prpll, and i think this is the one i need to record my new stuff this fall. I have so many EQD, chase bliss, boss, walrus and MXR pedals, but even Avalanche Run v2 and disaster transport Sr. Can’t make these noises. So awesome

Love the videos! It's great to hear you using input sources other than guitar! Keep up the good work!

this video helps a lot. it's a confusing, yet addicting pedal.

Perfect pedel for my juggalo band

Thank you, Knobs. Everything is good here.

jesus christ this thing is gnarly. this would sound awesome with the digital oscillator on the microkorg.

How would you ever know if it was broken?

I just got one of these. I’ll admit that it took some experiementing with it before understanding how it works, but now that I’ve got it figured out, I’m thinking of all sorts of fun ways to use it.

I wish you could see my cats face.

5:13 ... Was that Welcome To The Black Parade???

It reminds me a live King Crimson perfomance

This pedal is so much fun.

What a wild playful pedal. Will get one one of these days

Is this just a simple in and out jack? No MIDI control? Expression pedal?

1:29 that sounded so epic! I'm amazed how you would be able to write with a pedal like this.

In a time of so much corruption...

Beautiful

Does this have a dry/wet mix control besides off/on?

It needs to be available in euro rack module, with inputs for control voltages.

just swooped it. thank u zzounds

I watch these muted to unpleasure myself.

I would love to hear what this pedal could do to a vocoder...

Thanks for an amazing pedal review. The jury is still out for me. It's a bit of a one-trick pony and I can get some pretty goofy sounds out of my H9, though nothing this insane and broken, and the H9 cannot reproduce a PLL. What bothered me most about this pedal was the constant dive bomb every time I stopped playing, and that was a big reason I sought out (and found) videos such as yours to see if this could be adjusted. I will give the pedal another try. As others have said, those of us who play synth do have a gazillion options open to us on there and I've wondered if tweaking with my synth would make this pedal unnecessary, and do I want a separate pedal just to make a particular kind of sound? I wish it took an expression pedal so I could adjust some parameters while playing. It would also be nice to be able to save presets. I got a very nice sound out of it (if you call any of it's sounds "nice") at one point but couldn't reproduce it later as I kept messing with knobs. In retrospect, I should have taken a picture of my settings. I really love that "breaking up" sound when playing stops.

This channel should have a hell of a lot more subs! Keep up the amazing work 👍 👍

Another splendid presentation

About 4 yrs after having originally purchased this, and 3.5 after having sold it, here I am, probably gonna buy another one 😅

Did Jack White just copy this for one of his TMR pedals? Sounds a lot like it.

I saw some other videos popping up for this pedal recently, and my only thought was "Hooray, this probably means another Knobs video is on the way!"

I was wondering when you'd get around to this pedal...

Flashbacks of 8 bit games🔊😊👻🤖

I don't know how I'd use it... But I want it

This is something I absolutely have to have

Great job Knobs! I've been watching as many Data Corrupter videos as I can, and I was sad to see so many people turn down the pedal by not understanding what it is. Not to mention the number of terrible demos released onto RU-vid. Because of it's complexity it's going to be very easy for people to make this pedal look bad. Which is funny because it's just so gooood.

im looking for really crazy pedal to use on synths. i like the way this affects the signal, though the result is kind of rough and over disttortioned. but i am still considering it. any other suggestions for about this price range?' great vid man. congrats.

two seconds in, thumbs up. This shit's dirty! love it!

Playing the Legend of Zelda theme would be fun using this pedal.

Can I use an expression pedal to mimic the whammy on this pedal?

track well on bass ? amazing job btw, keep it on !

Just a fantastic demo of an unusual pedal. I think combining this with the Chase Bliss Habit pedal would break the Earth. Embrace the weird.

This thing sounds awesome!

Great vid! Got one on the way !

Put this through Avalanche Run or Afterneath.

This is the perfect Knobs pedal

7:38 tortoise

This pedal is brilliant!

Been waiting for this one

Anyone know the approximate settings to get those sounds at 2:15?

Moog from hell Wicked

Pls help me , I can not get a decent sound out of this pedal ever. I am using with bass.

so, should this go before or after a ring mod

But how would it sound for bass I wonder...

wish this had a clean blend so i ACTUALLY could use it on bass

I'm torn between this and the Keeley synth 1.

As far as “noiseboxes” go this one is actually pretty good for what it’s capable of

Only thing I wish this little beauty had - A CV input function. ;)

Yo soy disperso... Esto es mi alimento...

This pedal reminds me of Jimi Hendrix and how incredible he was with pedals. Some of these not all were achieved by Hendrix with what he had. The data corrupter does things for u really. But i think its a fantastic pedal for older guys who dont have the energy they once had to fuck around getting sounds on a guitar. this does it for you if u want. its also a very nice sounding fuzz. a lot of fuzz pedals i checked out dont sound like a big ass fat assault of fuzz like this. i like it very much and think it can be super useful. some think it cant be useful but i doubt that. i dont think you have to make dive bombs and Mario sounds on it.

Great vid another pedal I want to buy

i'm ordering this thing in a few days yay

So fire

i was waiting for this :D !!!

Knobs: you're a pest! I was thinking of selling mine. Now I've watched this I've got to rush home sooner than expected, stick it on my board quick, and see at tonights band practice if I can use this on a solo at our gig Friday. 😝

Yup- knobs makes me GAS another one once again......

IS 1:29 INSPIRED BY ALARMIST?

If only Tron had a metal band.

This obnoxious heinous thing makes no sence.I MUST OBTAIN & POSSESS ONE... .. .

I have one of these next to a Mantic flex. Dear God, what have I done? What have I done?!!

the donut is a lie

Data Corrupter or 4046-m? @knobs

1:52 Defender, when thrusting and firing.

I can't decide if I want this or the Boss SY1

What a fucking awesome pedal. Wow. If you see this, thank you Robb from Sweetwater! ☻

im in love

Someone needs to hook this up to a theremin

Wow,...just wow.

Excelente sus cualidades 😍

at what point do you just buy a synth?

Ah, love it
