Get an old-school bit-crushed and sample-reduced sound into your pedalboard with the Electro-Harmonix Mainframe, a powerful but easy-to-use pedal for electric guitars. Bit Crushing and Sample Reducing are old-school digital effects that create arcade-like, glitchy distortions by affecting properties of digital audio.
\r\n
\r\nIn addition to classic sounds, the pedal sports some interesting features in-line with EHX's experimental ethos. Fine-tune digital audio artifacts with a selectable filter switch, or use the Sample Rate tuning mode to actually match your sample reduction to specific musical keys. Save your favorite sounds as presets, and control whole swaths of them at a time when you connect a separately available footswitch. You know what isn't separately available? The power adapter. Like many EHX pedals, MAINFRAME ships with its own power adapter, so you don't have to purchase one separately.
