Source Audio Artifakt Lo-Fi Elements

Source Audio Artifakt Lo-Fi Elements is a comprehensive collection of all the scratchy, wobbly, and broken tones that epitomize the term lo-fi. The pedal is a “one-stop shop” for all the most sought-after lo-fi effects.

Including old vinyl replications, tape modulation and saturation, bit crushing, sample rate reduction, dark reverb and echo, filtering, compression, glitch, and more. Source Audio has dedicated much of the past three years to meticulously honing each of these sounds as well as engineering an entirely new hardware design with an easy-to-use interface that places the pedal’s full capabilities at your fingertips.

Navigating through the seven positions of Artifakt’s effect selector knob unleashes a symphony of sonic transformations. Each akin to engaging a new pedal with its own unique brand of lo-fi. The pedal has seven effects:

• Radio:crackling nostalgic tones and static frequency with the charm of a vintage radio.
• Tape engine: the sound of vintage tape machines.
• µVerb: a primitive reverb effect with bouncing echoes.
• Crush: bit-depth quantizing and sample rate reduction.
• Ladder: classic and dramatic filter sweep effects.
• Vinyl: the crackle and pop of vintage records.
• Glitch adds an unpredictable edge, capturing fragments of your performance and hurling them back at random speeds and pitches.

Pairing the Artifakt Lo-fi Elements with Source Audio’s completely reimagined and reengineered Neuro 3 software elevates an already great pedal to new heights. Access free, stage-ready presets from Neuro’s expanding library of factory and Neuro Community presets. Explore Neuro’s extensive editing capabilities to blend and experiment with the various lo-fi elements mentioned earlier—it’s a limitless effects palette for crafting unique lo-fi sounds.

Artifakt also boasts stereo inputs and outputs, full MIDI control via the 3.5mm TRS in and thru jacks, dual footswitches, 128 presets, and more. The pedal is powered by a standard 9 volts power supply (included) with a minumum of 200 milliamps.
