Safari Pedals recently released Pixel Cat, a "playful lo-fi bitcrusher with springy space".
Pixel Cat chews audio into pixelated grit, then washes it through a lively spring reverb for retro crunch with dreamy depth. Perfect on drums, synths, guitars, vocals, and anything that needs lo-fi magic.
What it does:
- Bits — Set bit depth for classic digital crunch and noise.
- Rate — Reduce sample rate for gritty aliasing from subtle to extreme.
- Spring — Add bouncy spring ambience from slap to roomy wash.
- Drive — Push the signal into warm saturation before crushing.
- Tone — Simple filter to darken or brighten the crushed sound.
- Blend — Mix the crushed signal with your dry input for control.
- A. Gain — Auto gain helps keep levels steady while you push.
- IN / OUT — Fast gain staging on side sliders for clean setup or hot input.
- Preset Display — Quick visual of the selected mode or value.

Pixel Cat is available for macOS and Windows in VST3, AU and AAX plugin formats for the introductory price of $9.99 (Reg. $49).
