About this pedal

Lossy captures the specific kind of degradation digital audio picks up when it’s shrunk, transferred, and compressed — the sound of a 56k modem stream, a CD-R rip, or an old cellphone video — and turns those nasty, beautiful digital mistakes into an easy-to-tweak real-time effect.
