The Salad Days ringmod and the Beverly BitCrusher released

Two new DIY projects released - The Salad Days ring modulator and the Beverly BitCrusher. I'm very excited to share both of these. No square wave abuse this time - they both modulate the clean guitar signal and both have a clean blend. There were both a joy to develop and complete.

I talk alittle about these projects (and show a sneak peak of current developments) in the video below. Sorry about my swenglish...

The Beverly BitCrusher is a simple bitcrusher/sample rate reducer based on a ADC0804 Analog-To-Digital converter IC. It sounds a bit different than my old bitcrusher, the Sonic Reducer, so it's not a direct replacement, but it has some benefits like a proper clean blend, no need for an oscillator gate and no volume drop when turning down the sample rate. It's of course named after the ship-doctor on TNG (I'm a huge Trekkie, if you had not already noticed).

I hope that you will enjoy building and playing these DIY projects. :)

The Salad Days ring modulator is a cool sounding active ring modulator, lush and very bell-like. Someone wrote that I should have named it "Deranged Churchbell" which would have been well suited haha, but I decided to name it after the song by Minor Threat. It has a fun tremolo mode aswell that can go from a breathy/galloping waveshape (I don't know how else to describe it) to a very aggressive choppy square wave without being ticking or thumping. A step up from a passive ring modulator in my opinion.
