Fuzz/bitcrusher/shimmer reverb combo with FX loop between sections. Silicon Big Muff-style fuzz circuit.

Polarbear Effects designed the Drowner as the ultimate shoegazer pedal, combining fuzz, bitcrusher, and shimmer reverb in one enclosure.

The signal chain starts with a silicon Big Muff-style fuzz (separate footswitch). After that comes the bitcrusher and reverb section. Order toggle switches between Fuzz/Crush/Reverb or Fuzz/Reverb/Crush routing.

Reverb modes include Modulated, Shimmer, and Octave Down. Latest V4 version adds delay modes (Digital, Reverse, Pitch Up). FX loop between fuzz and reverb sections lets you insert other pedals.

9V DC center negative, 160mA draw. 1590BB enclosure. Handmade in Croatia in small batches.
