Cosmodio Instruments released its first official pedal, the Pet Yeti Bitcrushed Fuzz / Distortion, Guitar Pedal X reported on May 16, 2024. The site described it as the first official release from the company, whose principal is named Barton1.
The pedal combines fuzz, distortion, op-amp fuzz and bitcrushing, according to Guitar Pedal X1. Its controls are five knobs and three toggle switches: Level, Voice (clipping) with Opamp, Germanium and Silicon settings, Tone, Bite (Bitcrushed On), Gain, Strength (Headroom / Distortion), Clean Blend, and Shape / Frequency (Input Gain)1.
Guitar Pedal X listed the price at $219, with orders available from the Cosmodio Instruments webstore1. The pedal originally came in three colorways: Purple Dark Doomy Deathscape, Neon Nuclear Wasteland, which the site listed as sold out, and Limited Purple Neon Wasteland1.
"There's quite a few controls here - 5 knobs, and 3 x toggle switches - but it's all quite straightforward really."
Pedal of the Day, writing in March 2024, said the gain range, selectable voicing patterns and analog bit-crushing can move the Pet Yeti from clean boost through crunch, overdrive and fuzz to glitchy madness, and that its parallel clean path and tunable wide-spectrum response suit bass, drum machines and synthesizers as well as guitar2. That description predates the May release report and does not give a price.
Guitar Pedal X's reviewer called the $219 price "pretty much spot on" and said the pedal "looks and sounds pretty perfect in its execution"1.
