Digicrush

SSL Digicrush delivers the gritty, lo-fi character of classic digital distortion, perfectly emulating the degradation and artifacts of early digital audio.

Packed with nostalgia, and heavily influenced by classic digital samplers and effects, Digicrush features built-in jitter, adjustable bit depth, and sample rate reduction, making Digicrush the ultimate lo-fi plug-in for adding a vintage digital edge to your tracks.

Overload

Use Overload to create a 'blown-out speaker' effect. This process results in a signal rich with reactive digital distortion, reminiscent of the Boom Bap drum sound at lower settings. At higher settings, it achieves full audio destruction, offering unique flexibility to shape your sound across a range of tones.

Jitter

The Jitter control introduces random variations in the sample rate, generating an extra layer of organic harmonic distortion, offering creative possibilities, whereby the signal moves and flexes in complex & interesting ways.

Bit Depth

The Bit Depth control paired with the 'bit mode' selector, allows for dramatically different dynamic responses, providing precise & intricate reproductions of classic vintage hardware samplers. Whether it's the textured ambience of Chicago House Synth Lead, the gritty 12-bit swagger of 90's "Boom Bap", or tracker-style 8-bit crushed Amen breaks Digicrush spans the entire spectrum of those early digital sounds, authentically reproducing the magic that made those early records sound so unique.

Anti-Alias & Anti-Imaging Filters

Digicrush's anti-alias & anti-imaging filters allow further sculpting of the signal. These can be used to smooth the sound or remove sonic artefacts introduced by downsampling, giving incredible flexibility to the overall effect, resulting in an entirely unique sound design tool that goes beyond that of any other distortion plug-in.
