What seems like a weak and anaemic signal suddenly comes back to life when you roll off the filter. I found that quite counter-intuitive at first, but perhaps those more familiar with bit crushers are well used to this phenomenon?
It’s partly due to the nature of these types of effects, Sample Rate Decimation and Bit Reduction/Crushing are nonlinear, and pretty destructive, and the Filter is subtractive. Sometimes it helps to start from a neutral position when dialing in a sound. For all 3 of those controls (top row knobs), putting them at max means they aren’t affecting you sound.
They are in series, so their individual impact on the sound can add up.
Here’s the basic signal flow: In->Stutter->Sample Rate->Bit Crushing->Pitch Sequence->Filter->Out
