Demon Seed - Noise Apocalypse demo 1

Every year we make a pedal to donate to the raffle prize fund for the local Christmas Covers Southsea gig, where various idiots play ridiculous cover versions to raise money for Rowans Hospice and Music Fusion. This year its the Demon Seed!
The circuitbenders.co.uk Demon Seed is a fuzz / distortion / frequency shifting / 8-bit / lo-fi / filth pedal that makes noise in industrial quantities more than sufficient to made deaf people weep.
It utilises the Holtek HT8950 voice changer chip that was designed specifically for use in toy robot voice changer megaphones. The HT8950 converts the analogue guitar signal to 8-bit digital, applies 6 selectable types of frequency shifting or a weird robot arpeggio effect, and then converts the digital signal back to analogue again.
Before someone points it out... yes inevitably this pedal was to some degree inspired by the excellent Death By Audio 'Robot' pedal, but its difficult to not be when using the HT8950, and this pedal has the addition of several features that the HT8950 chip offers but the Robot pedal doesn't use.
The Robot is the original HT8950 pedal. All hail Death By Audio!
This demo was recorded using just the Demon Seed pedal and and a clean amp simulator. You'll have to forgive the inability to play the guitar.
If we have any for sale you can buy one at circuitbenders...
