    The Bitmap™ is a bitcrusher with fractional bit reduction and sample rate modulation. The Bitmap 2 adds waveshaping, wavefolding, and a window comparator for extreme digital distortion. A drive control handles everything from single coil guitars to synthesizers, with +8 dBu maximum signal level and enough gain to sound like an overdriven mixer channel. Modulation and envelope control create dynamic, responsive distortion and digital artifacts.
    The Bitmap 2 is tuned to provide maximum sustain without sputtering on staccato notes. Less extreme settings add layers of nonlinearities that interact in subtle ways, giving you the warmth and grit of 8- and 12-bit samplers. Sample rate reduction turns your guitar into 8-bit video game sounds or twists scales into inharmonic melodies. Sample rate modulation adds subtle motion or morphs your guitar into entirely new textures.
    The Bitmap™ works with guitar, bass, synthesizers, drum machines, and other instruments or line level sources.

    Just found your channel... Been playing guitar for a while but still only a year in with gear..... Just got a tensor from r.p. and have been having trouble using beyond just tape reverse and some pitch stuff.... That video really helped me unlock my tensor..... Expect tons of views and likes.... Thank you for your service

    Well I have the Bitmap, Bitmap 2 is a no-brainer, nice demonstration Mike of a great pedal that Red Randa has made better with the additions. Cheers

    Devo is one of my favorite bands. Everybody thinks they were just a one hit wonder, which is only half right. It's true they only had one real big "hit", but usually when people say "one hit wonder" the implication is that the rest of the band's output is bad or not worthwhile. Nothing could be further from the truth with Devo. Their first 5 albums are all really really good; the 1st one is a stone cold punk/new wave classic, point blank period. The other thing that gets levelled at them all the time is that they were just a joke band. Again, sort of true I guess, but not really. NGL, there were undoubtedly some light overtones to their image, lyrics & music, but it belies a real depth to much of the music and lyrical content. In fact Devo is short for "De-Evolution", which was based around a concept that humanity is regressing rather than progressing (altho evolution doesn't really work this way, still an interesting concept)...sort of like the Idiocracy idea, only some 30 years earlier!!! They were students at Kent State when the infamous 1970 shooting took place and that terrible occurrence apparently informed this idea as well, if Wikipedia can be believed. I can say there is definitely a darker undercurrent flowing through their music if you really pay attention. Anyway, they're really great; if you are into punk, post punk, new wave, art rock, synth rock or any combo thereof, I would highly recommend any of their first 5 albums. If nothing else go listen to the booji boy version of "Be Stiff". If you don't think that song is at least kinda awesome, I'll have to check your pulse.

    Am I the only one asking “Who put the string pegs on a Gibson headstock?” It’s a great idea as long as you don’t have a whammy bar, and I’ve never seen it before on a 3x3 headstock.

    • @popintothechemist

      My Sg was going out of tune when I would look at it so I’m trying this out. It seems to make a little bit of a difference.

    • @chipsterb4946
      @chipsterb4946 3 роки тому

      @@popintothechemist I’m curious - did you have a new nut installed with the string pins? Theoretically, nut slots should be angled toward the appropriate tuner so there’s no sideways “break” at the back of the nut. However, both of my 3x3 headstocks had nut slots cut straight front to back. The Taylor works fine. The Heritage 535 nut had so many issues... Some of the strings on an SG angle away from the back of the nut a fair amount IIRC, so if your nut slots are straight front to back the string pins could help a little with tuning issues. The strings need to be able to move fore and aft in the nut slots a little bit - especially if you bend strings a lot.
      Another potential tuning problem is the bridge saddles. Again, the strings need to be able to move a tiny bit over them. The only fixed points should be the tuner itself and the stoptail. (Sorry for rambling - I chased tuning problems for almost a year with that Heritage 535 and it drove me crazy.)

    Intended as constructive criticism: I loved the Devo cover at the beginning. But 10+ minutes of random knob-twiddling with no explanation of what's going on got aggravating to sit through. I really want to know how that drive knob is affecting the signal with little or no bit crush effect applied (crush/freq at minimum).

    Mike... look up my comments...Im your no.1 fan....love your vids...with your superb arrangements- half the time sounding like Jeff Beck ( my fav Guit God ) .... but let me confess. I have been following your video since over a year now... see and learn every time. But of late, the arrangements however brilliant are sadly seeming quite similar. Admirable consistency of standards. no doubt. For a veteran fan ( if such a word exists ), I would want to bring it to you. Also the pitch black starwarsy backdrop is getting repetitive. I say all this... because we all love our comfort zones. Especially in these mad Covid times. Break a leg ! and break some comfort zones.... see you.

    Its funny to see people try to make these pedals "musical". Its more of a fun noise pedal, and theres nothing wrong with that, but when one is trying to use it like a distortion pedal, it just sounds... poopy. Make Noise!! 🥴💩
