Our take

Who this one is for

Bit depth and sample rate are the two things the 3 Series Bit Crusher strips away, with a filter to shape whatever is left. Crush runs from full 24-bit resolution down to 1-bit, moving from grain and texture into square-wave grind and gated digital distortion. Sample Rate drops from 32.768kHz to 2.5Hz, bringing in aliasing that goes from faint harmonic shifts to a metallic, ring-mod-like clang and finally a full digital breakdown.

Filter and the Type toggle decide the character. Toggle down is a second-order low-pass with no resonant peak, inspired by vintage synths like the Oberheim, and full-bodied enough to suit bass. Toggle up sweeps a high-pass and a low-pass in succession to focus a strong band of mids, close to the small speaker of a handheld game console. JHS designed the circuit from scratch around a zero-hole filter, a signal-processing idea it says had never found a practical use before this pedal.

For gain that behaves like a pushed amp, the 3 Series Overdrive and Distortion are the ones to look at. This one is for sounds that are meant to come out digital.

Questions we get

How much do I pay today?

Your choice: the full price, or a 25% deposit. On a deposit, the balance is due when it reaches the shop, before it ships to you. A deposit is paid by card or PayPal. Shop Pay, Apple Pay and Google Pay can't take one.

When will it arrive?

It varies by product, anywhere from two weeks up to several months. If you'd like a date for this model first, ask us in the chat and we'll check with the supplier before you order. If you're ready now, go ahead: we confirm the ETA by email once your order is in, and if it changes, we let you know and you can cancel.

Can I cancel?

Yes, any time before the supplier invoices it and ships it to us. We refund what you paid less 3% to cover the card processing fee.

Once it has shipped to us it is a special order and final sale. If it arrives with something wrong, we put that right.

What if the price goes up before it arrives?

You pay the price you ordered at. Once your order is placed we hold that price, even if the supplier raises it before it arrives.

Do I pay duty or brokerage on a US order?

No. Duty, taxes, brokerage and customs on a US order are handled at our end before it leaves Ottawa. It arrives at your door with nothing to pay.

Orders going anywhere outside Canada and the United States work differently. The shipping and returns policy sets out which is which.

Can I finance it?

Yes, if you are paying in full. Pick Shop Pay Installments as your payment method at checkout in Canada or the US, or PayPlan by RBC in Canada. The plan, the rate and the approval sit with the provider, and you see the terms before you agree to anything. You pay a deposit by card or PayPal.
