Chinese Crested Space Invader

Alien tones from a glitchy, chaotic synth fuzz — NOKILL's warped take on the Arcadiator circuit.

The Chinese Crested Space Invader is NOKILL's warped take on the Arcadiator circuit, delivering fuzzed-out, bit-crushed, synthy chaos that's as unique and unpredictable as the dog it's named after. This isn't just a pedal — it's an experience in sonic destruction.

With a massive range of textures — from glitched-out sputters to soaring alien leads — the Space Invader pushes your guitar, bass, or synth into territories you've never heard before. Finding the sweet spot is like finding a Chinese Crested in the wild: rare, strange, and unforgettable.

Not your average fuzz. Not your average anything. This pedal is built to bend time, space, and tone into something completely otherworldly.

FAQ

Is this a fuzz, a synth, or a glitch pedal? Yes. It's all three. The Arcadiator-style circuit blends fuzz, envelope-driven synth tracking, and bitcrushed textures.

Will it track well on chords? Like most envelope fuzz / synth circuits, single notes track most cleanly. Chords push it into beautifully unpredictable territory.

Does it work on bass? Yes — envelope synth pedals are particularly fun on bass.

What power supply do I need? Standard 9V DC center-negative. Isolated supply recommended.
