The Mainframe Bit Crusher catapults your sound into the digital 80s. By reducing the bit depth and sample rate, raw, lo-fi sounds full of character are created - from subtle grain to broken, video-game-like noise. With Filter, Blend, and Sample Rate controls, you can shape every detail, while expression and preset functions offer dynamic control. Suitable for guitar, synth, and bass: the Mainframe is the ideal tool for creative producers and sound designers.
