Rullywow Arcadiator. The Arcadiator might best be described as a pedal that has a penchant for converting your instrument signal into the 8-bit sounds from the "Golden Age of Video Games". It was actually invented by Parasit Studio, but the PCB, when we got it, was offered by Rullywow. Rullywow's offering was most likely by a friendly agreement until such time as Parasit Studio could begin fabricating the PCB themselves.

Rullywow no longer makes the PCB for the Arcadiator. The Arcadiator PCB is now being made and sold by Parasit Studio.

  • Thermionic Studios has one(1) original Arcadiator by Rullywow. When we finish assembling it, it will be available for rental
