SOUND the WMD distorts and destructs sounds in a frequency range from 260 Hz to 58 kHz.
WMD destruction works
in 2 main modes:
- internal bitcrusher reduces sampling resolution from 8 to 1 bits
- mask sound is processed through 256 digital internal waves with specific harmonics contents- the relative number showed in hexadecimal values on the segment display (from 00 to FF).


CONTROLS knobs GAIN and TONES are for tonal modification with preamp gain for sustained sounds guitar (like distortion-oriented) that can be driven directly to wavetable math process or bypassed.

CV Control Voltage can be changed by a modular system tension.
Just plug expression pedal, LFO, CV sequencer or whatever producing something within a 0-5V range.

MODIFICATION the "bass mod" adds better low end frequency response than the original.
It is made by the original company for now- I don't know about any schematics for now.

REVIEW "OK, an extreme effect.
can be really interest if you're into dirty sounds, 8 bits, LO-FI or experimental sounds." |
