BugBrand BugCrusherMicro

" BugCrusherMicro
Released Dec07
The new Micro squeezes the lovely sample-rate-reductions of the BugCrusher line into the most compact form yet - just 120 x 65 x 40mm (about the size of MXR pedals).

A single dial sets the Rate for sounds from fizzly-fuzz highs to distruct-o-gurgle lows. There's no need for level controls - the signal going in is neither amplified nor attenuated. The Micro works well on low level signals (such as guitar) or line level signals (perfect for mixing desk - and the output is in-phase with the input). Bypass is now done electronically (still true-bypass) with a strong stomp switch and silent operation. The Micro runs off either an internal 9v battery or standard Boss-style DC Jack.

No sound samples yet, but it has the characteristic BugCrushing sounds of previous pedals, so check mp3 examples further down the page."

"Batch of 10 released today and available through the BugShop

This is the most compact BugCrusher yet, measuring in at just 120 x 65 x 40mm (about the size of MXR pedals). Lovely Rate-Reduction sounds from fizzly highs down to gurgley lows. The Micro is happy operating with low level signals (eg guitar) or line level for desktop / mixing desk work. The redesign has eliminated the need for level controls - there's no amplification or attenuation of the input signal. Bypass is now done electronically - still true-bypass with a chunky stomp switch (but a lighter action than previous stomps) and totally silent. The Micro runs off 9v - either internal battery or Boss-style DC Jack.

The Micro costs £75 plus shipping (inc battery, instruction sheet and 3 year guarantee) Beware - this batch won't last long, but I will be making more early next year to meet demands. Hopefully this design can become a regularly stocked item."
