BIT - ANALOGUE BITCRUSHER

Lateral Sound's Bit attacks distortion from a different angle, emulating a plug-in effect that's a common sound in electronic music but less widely associated with guitars. Bit-crushing (or to be more accurate in this case, sample rate reduction) produces a unique type of distortion by down-sampling audio in a way that replicates anything from lo-fi digital recordings (like a bad mp3) to total device-failure! This manifests itself as anything from a slight high-end ‘crunchiness' to full-on tone destruction as it chews up any signal fed in.
