The Pigtronix Space Rip PWM Synth Guitar Pedal is an analog synth pedal featuring pulse width modulated (PWM) sawtooth and square wave voices in multiple octaves. A state-of-the-art tracking engine allows Space Rip to keep up with your fastest single-note lines, replicating both pitch and dynamics. Sounds like tearing the fabric of spacetime in half. The pulse width of the square and sawtooth waveforms produced by the onboard VCO is kept in a state of flux, generating constant harmonic motion controlled by the Rate knob. The Sub knob adds voice one octave down from the input signal, while the Octave switch drops the entire synth down an additional octave, producing a devastating amount of pure analog synth bass. Runs on standard 9VDC.
Pulse Width Modulation
The Space Rip outputs a choice of sawtooth or square waves that constantly undulate in and out like an accordion. This is accomplished through a type of synthesis called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM). The Rate knob controls the speed of an onboard LFO which continuously alters the wave shape of both oscillators to create an ultra-thick analog sound inspired by high-end, vintage synthesizers.
Tearing the Fabric of Spacetime
Choose your analog, ripping open the night sky, a zipper the size of a galaxy, the cosmos tearing itself in half like its telophasing in mitosis point is, it sounds wild.
