What it does
A single window collection of the processing usually stacked to make lo-fi records. There is a crunch stage for saturation and distortion, a wobble for pitch instability, a sway that moves the signal across the stereo field, a reverb with its own high and low pass filters, and an LFO that can be assigned to the low pass, the high pass or the crunch. Presets, preset saving and a randomize button sit along the top.
In the demo
Jade runs the presets on a drum part, then isolates each section so the crunch, wobble and sway are heard on their own, and finishes on an acoustic guitar with the modulation pushed hard.
Worth knowing
It works on dry or lifeless material rather than as a corrective tool, and the controls are knobs rather than sliders, which one viewer flags as fiddly for this kind of movement.
