EARTHQUAKER DATA CORRUPTER

- Chris Gill

LIKE ME, you probably saw the name “Data Corrupter” and wondered, “What does a device that hacks credit bureaus, spreads computer viruses and commandeers Twitter feeds to disseminate fake news have to do with guitar?” Well, grasshopper, just think of the notes you play on guitar as “data.” As for the “corrupter” bit? Well, it’s fuzz, Jim, but not as we know it. Simply put, the EarthQuaker Data Corrupter is the wildest fuzz pedal you’ll likely encounter in this lifetime, capable of producing psychotic oscillation, mutated modulation and synth-like octaves that are dynamically responsive and unusual yet predictably repeatable.
