Build Document last updated july 2024
Version 1.0 2024
The Beverly BitCrusher uses an analog-to-digital converter to turn the
signal into a true 8-bit representation. You can change the sample rate
from high to low - clean to crushed. It also has a blend control so that
you can mix the crushed sound with the clean guitar signal.
Have fun building and playing the Beverly BitCrusher!

  • Page 2 Power Input voltage - 9V DC Current draw - 14mA Controls Potentiometers Blend – blends between the clean signal and the bitcrushed signal • • Sample rate – controls the ADC frequency The populated PCB Here's a 3D render approximation of what the fully populated board should look like (without the potentiometers).
  • Page 3 General building tips • Just follow the Bill of Materials and solder the low profile components first. Recommended order: resistors and diodes, chip sockets, resistor ladders, trim pot, multilayer and ceramic capacitors, film box capacitors, electrolytic capacitors, pots and switches, offboard wiring (jacks and the 3PDT switch).

This template is approximate. • Make sure your printer isn't doing any scaling (100% print size). • Jacks are measured from the edge at the front/top of the enclosure (as they were drilled on the prototype), but you can drill the positions for the footswitch, DC jack and input/output jacks to your own preference.
