Transform your tone with vintage lo-fi magic.
The Artifakt Lo-fi Elements is the ultimate effects pedal for crafting a nostalgic lo-fi tone. This first-of-its-kind pedal packs all the hazy, scratchy and wobbly sounds that define the lo-fi genre into one compact unit. Like a mega-delay or reverb, the Artifakt is a one-stop shop for old vinyl replication, tape modulation, bit crushing, sample rate reduction, dark reverb and more. Source Audio dedicated years to meticulously honing each effect and engineering an intuitive interface that puts the full range of lo-fi possibilities at your feet.
Vintage Radio to Vinyl Crackle
Twisting the Artifakt's selector knob transports you through sonic eras, engaging a new lo-fi effect with each stop. The Radio effect emulates a vintage radio signal with static and frequency filtering. The Tape engine mimics vintage tape machines with compression, flutter and pitch changes for slapback, chorus and tape saturation. The μVerb recreates the primitive reverb of 8-bit gaming systems. The Crush effect manipulates bit depth and sample rate, sculpted by a Moog-style filter. The Ladder filter offers envelope and LFO control for classic filter sweeps. Vinyl faithfully reproduces the pops and crackles of records. Glitch captures and manipulates fragments of your playing for random rhythms and pitches.
Dial in Vintage Radio Charm
Rotate the effect selector to Radio for crackling, nostalgic tones where static and noise evoke vintage radio character. Struggle to dial in a signal or embrace the imperfections of yesteryear's technology.
Conjure Vintage Tape Machines
Select Tape to blend compression, overdrive, flutter and pitch modulation, invoking effects like slapback, chorus, doubling and tape saturation. Experience the warmth and character of reel-to-reel tape decks in your tone.
Primitive 8-Bit Reverb
Engage µVerb for bouncing, lo-fi echoes resembling reverb from 8-bit gaming systems. Simple yet distinctive, µVerb adds retro ambiance to your sound.
Shape Your Tone with a Ladder Filter
Inspired by the revered Moog ladder filter, Ladder offers envelope and LFO modulation control for swooping, dramatic effects. Boost frequencies to cut through the mix or sweep to create movement.
