The Artifakt Lo-fi Elements is the first pedal of its kind, a comprehensive collection of all the hazy, scratchy, wobbly, and broken tones that epitomize the term 'lo-fi'." Like a mega-delay or mega-reverb, Artifakt is a “one-stop shop” for all the most sought-after lo-fi effects including old vinyl replications, tape modulation and saturation, bit crushing, sample rate reduction, dark reverb and echo, filtering, compression, glitch, and more.

EFFECTS

RADIO

Break down your signal fidelity with the Radio engine.  The Bandwidth voicing control gets you AM/FM frequency ranges, add in some signal compression, random static and dropouts and you'll be channeling Marconi.  Also features additional effects of vibrato modulation and background noise for even more sonic range.

TAPE

Explore the many gorgeous effects created with vintage tape machines. Dial in classic sounds like tape saturation, tape flutter, pitch modulation and slapback effects. The Tape engine also recreates many higher fidelity effects like chorus, doubling and even through-zero flanging.

µVERB

A primitive reverb effect that uses delay plus diffusion. Similar to how reverb effects were simulated on 8-bit and 16-bit gaming systems.  The µVerb is also comparable to the Belton-Brick approach to creating dark, spring-like reverb simulations.

CRUSH

Explore the nasty side of digital audio! Degrade your signal’s fidelity beyond all recognition with Bit Crushing's brutal quantizing fuzz tones and Sample Rate Reduction's robot dance party.  Run them through the Ladder Filter, Mix them both together and even add a bit of chorus with the Option switch.

LADDER

Explore the glorious filter sweep so often heard in electronic pop music using the Ladder filter, a sound not unlike the massive Moog MF-101.  The filtering can be static, envelope-controlled (reactive to your picking style), LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) controlled, or swept using an expression pedal.

VINYL

Drop the needle on yesteryear.  This effect uses filtering techniques, dust and surface crackle emulation, skip noises, and a customized LFO pitch vibrato to simulate the sound of an aging but well-loved vinyl record.

GLITCH

In its default mode, the Glitch engine captures a bit of your signal and re-plays it at random rates and intervals. The Glitch is controlled by an envelope, so glitch effects will start whenever you stop playing.  When you start again, the looped sample shuts down and goes back into record mode.
