Best Quality Electro-harmonix Mainframe Bit Crusher – Sample Rate & Bit Depth Reduction Pedal Gift Boxed [UL8CNzSa]

Overview

The Electro-Harmonix (EHX) Mainframe Bit Crusher transports your sound back to the era of vintage digital technology, emulating the lo-fi sounds of early video games and computers. By reducing the sample rate and bit depth of your signal, the Mainframe produces a wide array of distorted, glitchy tones characteristic of classic arcade games and 8-bit computers. This pedal is ideal for musicians seeking to infuse their music with nostalgic digital artifacts or explore new sonic textures.

Features:

• Sample Rate Reduction: Adjustable from 48kHz to 110Hz, allowing you to degrade the audio quality from crisp and clear to heavily aliased and degraded.


• Bit Depth Reduction: Variable from 24-bit to 1-bit, introducing quantization noise and digital distortion reminiscent of early digital audio equipment.


• Selectable Filter Modes: Choose between High-Pass, Low-Pass, or Band-Pass filters to shape the tonal characteristics of the bit-crushed signal.


• Sample Rate Tuning Mode: Analyzes your input signal in real-time and sets the sample rate to match the pitch of your playing or a set interval above it.
