Bit Commander Retrospective
Our first anti- “traditional guitar” pedal circuit has been a consistent board contender year after year and highly coveted by those in the know. Bit Commander’s simple interface, excellent tracking, and huge attitude make it all too easy to dial in a crushingly primitive square wave synth sound with your stringed instrument. But what is the REAL STORY behind our original monophonic analog octave synth? How does one obtain this information? Lucky for you we have been busy compiling a serious inside look on the EarthQuaker Devices Bit Commander. In this film, you get a chance to accompany Dave Hill as he builds his own Bit Commander pedal right here in pre-quarantined Akron Ohio! Hear the circuit’s tale by creator Jamie Stillman with a distortion twist at the end! And let’s not forget the “Basement People” reenactment by EQD crew! What stands before you is our entire goody bag of top secret info, exclusive interviews, and clips of people bonding with Bit Commander. Producers, musicians, comedians … everyone loves it. It’s famous. Needless to say, you will be better served actually watching this video than reading about it. Hop to it and enjoy!
