Electro-Harmonix Mainframe Pedal Review

The Mainframe brings bit-crushing and sample rate reduction to your pedalboard, letting you manipulate your sound with precision. You can degrade your signal from crystal-clear highs to raw, gritty chaos, emulating everything from ‘80s computer music to crushed, overdriven textures. The Sample Rate Tuning Mode even lets you lock the effect to your playing, making it a creative powerhouse for experimental tones.
