Geiger Counter CI
Civilian Issue: simplified 8-bit destruction with 16 presets, Gain/Tone/Function/Volume—40mA/9V, true bypass.
The Geiger Counter Civilian Issue (GCCI) delivers simplified access to Geiger Counter's 8-bit digital destruction removing complex controls in favor of preset-based operation, addressing players seeking Geiger Counter character without parameter tweaking. Features 32 killer sounds from original Geiger Counter with stripped-off controls reducing price by $100 compared to standard version. High-gain preamp drives 8-bit computer generating digital distortion from clean through extreme lo-fi textures. 16 presets accessible via Function knob recall complete parameter configurations including Bit Depth, Sample Rate, and Wave Table settings eliminating need for manual adjustment of multiple parameters.
Four primary controls provide streamlined operation: Gain adjusts preamp drive level feeding 8-bit computer, Tone shapes frequency response, Function selects from 16 factory presets, Volume controls output level. This preset-focused approach suits players who prefer instant access to curated sounds over deep parameter editing. Handwired construction, true bypass switching maintains signal integrity when disengaged. Requires Boss-style 9V DC center-negative power at approximately 40mA draw (significantly lower than standard Geiger Counter's 150mA).
Note: GCCI abbreviation stands for Geiger Counter Civilian Issue. The Civilian Issue targets players seeking Geiger Counter's digital destruction character with simplified operation and reduced cost, suitable for experimental rock, industrial, and noise music where 8-bit digital textures and bit-crushing define the sonic aggression but preset-based operation enhances live performance workflow eliminating parameter adjustments between songs, addressing scenarios where instant sound recall matters more than deep editing capability.
