Re: Sonic Alienator - bit reduction / decimation pedal




Frostwave makes the most interesting stomp boxes around IMO. All their
products (including the Sonic Alienator) are built extrodinarily well and
are very creative doing things most "normal" filters, autowahs, etc never
do. 

I use the Fat Controller (sold my Arp and Doepher Sequencers once it
arrived) a Resonantor, and a Spacebeam Theremin which is the best pitch
only theremin I have ever used; rock solid with virtually NO drift, good
variety of tones and features. 

The Sonic Alientor is for sound freaks and explorers. It is an
extrodinarily high quality piece (that can make things sound like a fire
hydrant :)) IMO an analogy between the Bitrateman and the Frostwave would
be like an Arion Phaser pedal vs a Roland SPH323 rack unit. More depth and
flexibilty of sound, superior build and feel, and far superior sound
quality. 

The are more expensive (and worse since the US dollar is doing so
poorly) but I rationalize it by saying buying a frostwave is like buying
an instrument, not an effect. YMMV.
