Source Audio Artifakt Lo-fi Elements

General

The Artifakt Lo-Fi Elements from Source Audio is a revolutionary modulation pedal loaded with an extensive range of lo-fi effects. Boasting pedalboard-friendly dimensions and featuring effects dubbed Haze, Scratchy, Wobbly and Broken Tunes, to name a few, this stompbox is a one-stop-shop for any and all shoegaze-style guitarists. From the lo-fi sound of old vinyl to tape modulation, saturation, bit crushing, sample rate reduction, dark reverb, echo, filtering, compression and glitch effects, this wee unit wields it all and, thanks to the smart lay-out, everything can be accessed and dialled in with ease.

Unique Lo-Fi Sound

The 7-way selector knob makes firing up any of the effects as simple as can be. The effects include the nostalgic sound of vintage radios (Radio), the sound of old tape machines (Tape), primitive reverb effects (μVerb), bit depth quantisation and sample rate reduction (Crush), dramatic filter sweeps (Ladder), the crackling and popping of old records (Vinyl), and unpredictable glitching effects (Glitch). Needless to say, each effect can be extensively tweaked using the various other controls.

Neuro 3 Software

Everything that the Artifakt Lo-Fi Elements can do can be taken another step further by Source Audio's overhauled Neuro 3 software. This powerful tool offers access to an ever-growing library of stage-ready presets, extensive editing options, and more. Add that to the stereo inputs and outputs, full MIDI control, double footswitches and built-in preset memory of this modulation-based multi-effect, and you're guaranteed to be shoe-gazing no end.
