I say "kinda" because I don't yet have a working pedal: I have a pile of parts and a soldering iron. It won't look exactly like the one on the Parasit website, since I don't have the top label, just a bare metal case. The kit came from MusikDing in Germany. I don't even have knobs yet, and labels will be rudimentary at best. The ITU is a guitar synth / fuzz based on the CMOS 4046 Phase Locked Loop (PLL) chip. Not the full Schumann PLL circuit design, but a simpler version whose closest analogue is probably the Earthquaker Devices Bit Commander. The ITU does have some extra features, over that, including 1 / 2 octave up & down switches (not much use on bass?), a Warp control, a LFO, and (I think) more control over tracking. Oh, and it's 1/4 the price. The PLL tries to track and follow an incoming signal, outputting a square wave at the same frequency in its simplest use case (fuzz). A circuit like this inserts clock dividers on both the output (for octaves down) or on the "comparator" circuit (for octaves up). It lets you mess with the tracking for a "laggy" feel on the octave up, letting you blend three voices total. Square waves are not subtle but the filter can take the edge off. I have a 4-day weekend from Thursday and hope to make a start on the soldering. CMOS chips don't like static electricity, so I'll need to be careful in handling them, but the kit includes chip sockets. When it's done I'll see about photos and maybe video clips. I haven't seen found any YT videos of this pedal on bass, so it might be a first.

Yakety Sax - Boots Randolph edit: with added Chet Atkins:

The stock ToneX One has some very good bass models* such as The Fridge (SVT), and there are a lot more on ToneNet as captures.* The Bass editions include 150 more bass presets (not models), plus a license for the Signature Bass Collection (150 models) for download. They are selling the latter separately for €100 (here before VAT), so if you buy a new Bass edition, you’re getting those models at a major discount off that price. But as I said, I don’t actually want or need 150 more models, and I wish they would offer some separately. * as I understand it, a Capture captures a signal chain at a particular set of settings, while a Model emulates the signal chain with its actual controls. So if I change the Gain or EQ on The Fridge (model), that should react similarly to the controls on a real Ampeg SVT. But if I use (say) a GK 800RB capture from ToneNet, that was captured at certain settings, and while the Gain and EQ on the ToneX still do stuff, they aren’t modelling the equivalent controls on the GK. A Preset then is the amp model or capture plus the other settings (compressor, EQ, effects etc.)

It does compression and doesn't seem to cause any issues or tone changes in the process. I haven't given it a thorough workout, though, since I use a compressor before the ToneX, then the ToneX compressor is set to post-effects.

I see nothing to indicate anything more than cosmetic changes to the hardware, everything is done in software.

I hope they'll offer the option to audition amps and maybe buy individual models. I'm not going to pay $100 for 150 models, of which I would use 10 at most.
