Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Mainframe is a bit-crusher pedal that combines sample-rate reduction and bit-depth reduction, taking the signal from 48 kHz down to 110 Hz and from 24-bit down to 1-bit. Its High, Low, and Band-Pass filter choices let you shape the artifacts created by those processes. In Sample Rate Tuning Mode, the pedal analyzes what you play in real time and can set the sample rate to the input pitch or a chosen interval above it, including continuous adjustment as notes change.
