Description
Buzz. Beep and bloop. Get high on the lo-fi sounds of “old-school” games, toys and terminals with EHX Mainframe Bit Crusher Pedal! The Mainframe provides sample rate reduction ranging from 48kHz to 110Hz setting out to deconstruct signals to produce tones reminiscent of video game systems from the 1980s and 1990s.
