PedalsAndEffects: Scrutator by Malekko

Not often does a pedal come across the Pedals And Effects rack that gets bumped to the front of the queue! The Malekko Scrutanator demanded we shoot a video as soon as I got back home! This pedal is the best designed bit reducing pedal yet! So many reasons but overall, the most synthesizer like bit reducer I have come across and here is why!
This video was shot by Nick and Juan with GoPros edited by Scott Ward for Vato Negro Productions.

I like you that you guys are doing more videos together now. So much fun to watch you guys goof around and hearing both guitar and bass is rad too

[@mrmatthew2443]

I love love that video game Metroid...!!! Yes , such a fun game And it really does sound like that Great demo guys as usual

[@henrythepedalhead4944]

Props for the Metroid reference!

[@dcplaysguitar]

Totally sounds like Metroid

[@AZX223]

Hey guys, dig the new camera setup, but could you guys at least do a quick shot of the settings

[@KillSwitch66627]

So when are you two dudes making an insane experimental band together? If you haven't already?

[@reservoirdog1]

+KillSwitch66627 that would be amazingg

Can you get just the bit crusher sound with this without the filtering? I dig the filtering, but I really want that classic bit crusher sound as well

[@briansindorf9121]

Bought, sold, and bought this pedal again. Just beware... this pedal can be dangerous for those that value their time. I literally sold it for that reason. Missed the "Metroid" sounds too much 🤷🏻‍♂️ had to buy it again!!!

[@basselsabubgarcia9195]

interesting pedal, keep the bids coming.

[@andreamaffei653]

... And just as I was going ti buy the franta bit, this shows up... What do you think? The franta bit just sounds more "brutal" imo, but the added controls and expression capabilities on the scrutator are nothing to sniff at... Help me spend my money!

[@chemosis8259]

hey juan love your videos man. juan please checkout that alesis bitram. theres a video of it with bass. really unique and musical sounds for a bitcrusher. alesis bitram.

[@juanalderetedelapena5161]

Hella GoPros.

[@Reprodestruxion]

Can be count rol through an ev5 or a eurorack or a moogerfooger via cv control

[@nym053]

Yeah I start doing that thing with my mouth whenever I hear those nice, round and vocaly filter movements haha.

[@elephantricity]

Is this better than the bit commander? The filter knob sounds alot better than whats on the bit commander, not to mention expression pedal out!

[@PedalsAndEffects]

+Alex Padilla Bit Commander is an awesome pedal but it is not a Bit Crusher!

[@saedemoph]

+PedalsAndEffects exactly, they are two different types of effects...

[@luisbarrera7248]

So where in the chain would you run this? Front? FX loop?

[@Chandler17447]

nick that shirt is baaaaaad. also, is tera melos still a band?

[@icymagma98]

+Chandler Crane I saw them in august, so I'd say yes.

[@guugeli169]

Yeah, they are making an album currently

[@InGrindWeCrust2010]

Totally sounds like Metroid.

[@chemosis8259]

cool pedal and the filter sounds a lot different in comparison to the obo biscuit or frantabit or Geiger counter.checkout my demos sometime thanks.

[@JAYTERRIEN]
