At this year's SynthFest France (April 17-19 2026), the Liquid Sky artist collective (from Santana dada Serra, Portugal) has told us they will launch the first chapter of a new experimental desktop multi fx series built in their popular zen delay format.
"All units are handcrafted in Santana dada Serra and designed to connect worlds: CV / gate inputs meet midi clock–syncable modulations - engineered for maximum audio wreckage.
This is not about polite bread'n'butter effects; our d-vices are sonic troublemakers for bad ass artists, noiseheads and experimental sound labs.
The series begins with the SMUDGETIZER PRO 2bit bitcrusher - A beautifully destructive stereo machine with integrated LFOs, ready to bend, fkk up, break, and reassemble your sound into something floor-shakingly new and evil.
Developed by Thilo Goldschmitz, it works with pretty much anything you throw at it: guitars, bass, drums and drum machines, synths, voices, worldreceivers (radio) and of course... noise."
Starting today, the pedal is available for preorder at:

The MIDI and CV connectivity looks like it will integrate nicely with the modular world. Incidentally, a 40HP Eurorack version is coming too.
Yes, we know that's a lot of rack space.
Yes, it's intentionally big. we love instruments you can actually play.
No, we're not making a smaller version.
And yes, we're friends... but you don't have to remind us every five minutes that it's a lot of rack space.

The Eurorack edition will be available in autumn, but right now, the pedal is available for pre-order €299 (+VAT & shipping).
