The Bitmap(TM) is a stereo bitcrusher with fractional bit reduction and sample rate modulation. The Bitmap 2 adds waveshaping, wavefolding, and a window comparator for extreme digital distortion. A drive control handles everything from single coil guitars to synthesizers, with +8 dBu maximum signal level and plenty of gain with overdrive. Modulation and envelope control create dynamic, responsive distortion and digital artifacts. The Bitmap 2 is tuned to provide maximum sustain without sputtering on staccato notes. Less extreme settings add layers of nonlinearities that interact in subtle ways, giving you the warmth and grit of 8- and 12-bit samplers. Sample rate reduction turns your guitar into 8-bit video game sounds or twists scales into inharmonic melodies. Sample rate modulation adds subtle motion or morphs your guitar into entirely new textures. The Bitmap(TM) works with guitar, bass, synthesizers, drum machines, and other instruments or line level sources. A web-based editor allows you to edit presets and access additional parameters and modulation destinations. Features: · Fractional bit reduction from 24-bits down to 1-bit · Sampling rate reduction from 48 kHz down to 110 Hz · Sample-rate modulation with triangle, square, and random waveforms · Adjustable wavefolding and waveshaping functions · Mix control to maintain bass or add subtle crushing · Envelope control over sampling rate or mix · Drive control to accommodate single or dual coil pickups and line-level signals · 4-pole lowpass filter · Stereo input/output (TRS) · Soft touch bypass (momentary or latching), user replaceable · Aux. footswitch assignable to tap tempo or preset selection · Assignable expression pedal, remote switch, remote tap, or MIDI port · Additional parameters via MIDI (USB or TRS) · MIDI clock synchronization · Presets (4 on front, 127 via MIDI) · Web-based editor for editing presets and accessing hidden parameters · Filter cutoff can be modulated by envelope or LFO (via editor, saved to preset) Designed and assembled in USA. Requires a 9V 250 mA center negative power supply (not included).

• DSP Wizards for Experimental Sound: Red Panda designs and produces DSP-focused guitar and effects pedals that push creative boundaries. Their pedals—such as the Bitmap, Particle, Raster, and Tensor—are built for sonic explorers who demand flexibility, depth, and control. The company emphasizes in-house design with assemblage in the U.S., targeting musicians who want pedals that are both innovative and performance-ready.
