For sale I have a Geiger Counter (Civilian Issue) bit crusher pedal from WMD. With 32 customisable presets, it's far more versatile than most bit crushers on the market - you signal is run through a high gain modern preamp, into an 8 bit computer - giving sounds which range from the nice (warm, tubey overdrive... lo-fi aliasing... searing gated leads) to total nastiness (seemingly unlimited amounts of gain, multiple octave foldover, harsh digital glitching, and piercing sculpted noise.) It has a much more user-friendly interface compared to the original - and covers a tiny footprint!

Controls
- Stomp Switch - Like all WMD pedals, this pedal is handwired and true bypass, so it won't affect your tone when disabled. When the pedal is on, the red LED will be lit.

- Gain - The gain control provides anywhere from a nice clean tone to a ton of overdrive. Tweak this to hit the Function tables harder or softer to produce different amounts of harmonics.

- Tone - The tone control can be used to fine tune the harmonic content from the Function tables. Use lower settings for fewer upper level harmonics.

- Function - Twisting this knob will cause the number on the display to change. It goes 0 to 9 and A to F. This selects the 16 presets inside the pedal. Push the knob in to activate the Low Fidelity mode for each preset. 
               Each Function recalls parameters from the original Geiger Counter including the Bit Depth, Sample Rate and the Wave Table. The wave tables are displayed in the manual file. As your guitar string swings up and down, the wave table is played left to right from the center. The output is what's vertically on the graph. The more movement in the Function, the more harmonic content you'll get out.

- Volume - Sets the output volume of the GCCI which can be up to 5Vpp, enough to really crush your amp's input stage.

More from WMD (including a demo video) here.

Pedal is in as-new shape, works flawlessly (off of a standard 9v power supply) - offers some WILD sounds with really easy tweak-ability, and can be posted (tracked) within the UK for £5
