From cool sample rate conversion effects to gated fuzz-like tones, the Electro-Harmonix Mainframe Bit Crusher pedal delivers immense sonic textures that remain highly playable — and musical. By digitizing your signal and reducing the sample rate (with reduction ranging from 48kHz–110Hz), you can explore everything from subtle aliasing to chiptune synth sounds and full-on gated fuzz. Bit depth is adjustable from 24-bits to 1-bit, allowing you to render your original signal completely unrecognizable. A built-in filter is ready to smooth out the sound, and the Mainframe's ability to track your signal's pitch — or even tune it to the key of your song — ensures melodic results. Whether you play guitar, bass, or synthesizer through it, you'll find a vast soundscape of retro-themed effects in the Electro-Harmonix Mainframe Bit Crusher Pedal.
