I just finished this and I am SUPER pleased with the result. The build went flawlessly and the pedal looks excellent thanks to the PedalPCB face plate. I’m not totally sure how it compares to the EQD Data Corrupter, but on its own it’s an excellent pedal. The Heterodyne Receiver gives you control of a square wave, an oscillator and a sub-octave which can be combined to fit your taste. This pedal is wacky enough to be unique and interesting but not so out there that it’s not useful. Extra props to PedalPCB for (somehow) fitting this astounding tonal weapon into a 125-B enclosure. Knowing that it will take up less space on my board makes me all the more likely to use it.
A note to people who are intimidated by the SMD soldering: This project was my first time soldering SMDs and I did it by hand with regular soldering iron and a flux pen. It’s not that hard, so don’t be discouraged. Watch a couple of YouTube videos and have a go at it!

It does what it’s supposed to do… HOWEVER: The Data Corrupter/Super Heterodyne Receiver both have master level pots which this mini version does not have. This is a BIG problem because this unit is punishingly loud, even at the lowest levels. I’ve confirmed with others who have completed this build that it is a very poor design without this master level. I HIGHLY recommend you buy the Super Heterodyne Receiver and not this mini version. The extra space on your pedalboard isn’t worth it, take it from someone who tried.
