Fredric Effects unveils BugCrusher analogue sample rate reducer pedal
BugBrand-designed sample & hold circuit onboard

North London’s Fredric Effects has announced the BugCrusher analogue sample rate reducer pedal.
Packing a BugBrand-designed circuit, the BugCrusher utilises a sample and hold circuit run at audio rates, which produces aliasing effects on your signal.
At high rates, it deploys a fizzle and crunch, while lower rates produce a tone similar to a clean ring mod.
The BugCrusher is available now from Fredric Effects.
