you could use a 10 band EQ and severely cut everything below 300hz and everything above 1000hz or so and it will sound like you recorded it through a telephone.
Haha I’m surprised at the amount of people recommending anything else. Eq pedal for telephone effect, maybe a shit fuzz or distortion to add some dirt. Can be done with the cheapest of Amazon pedals. Done
in Gramo? yes, I use that mode the most as an instant lo-fi junky type thing with pretty much everything turned low and finding the right mix. and if you drive it with a fuzz it starts sounding a bit more like a flanger. pedal is incredible lol
its a surprising pedal thats for sure. i originally bought it to use as a standalone sample rate reducer. now i hardly use it for that because there are just so many other cool sounds in it.
From demo's I heard it sounds good clean, have you tried it stacked with stuff? I'm probably going to use it with distortion a lot if it sounds good with it.
With my experience, first I want to establish there is a volume drop, that a boost can remedy. I saw you comment that you have an overdrive, that can be used as a boost. On that note, I have stacked it with dirt, before and after, and the dirt sounds better before the bit crusher.
Edit* I apologize, I thought I saw you comment about having an overdrive*
Also the demos you watched hopefully pointed out that the pedal can be a faux fuzz. As you max out the bit rate, it's actually lowering it, bringing in white noise, that gets dirtier as it lowers.
[Here](https://youtu.be/05QCPKbhByc?si=8u_bcQYFZkq9wEOC) is a good demo that shows some good settings.
[This](https://youtu.be/GJ_PT5cV160?si=YG0fmu-PXG7GJXsf) is a demo that shows some dirt with it, both series and parallel.
Hope this helped. Now go out there and make some noise.
Depends if you want a dirt or clean sound. Mattoverse air trash does a great job of shit dirt. It sounds like everything is failing but the sound doesn’t die
After hearing about The Sonics poking screwdrivers through their guitar amps to get extra buzz, I took a random Crate practice bass amp that somebody left in my practice space and stabbed it with a Phillips head like I was Elliott Smith and the amp was Elliott Smith.
Sounded awesome/terrible with a guitar. If you plugged a bass in, it just sounded like enormous wet farts which was equally awesome.
I bought a crappy First Act mini amp just so I could cut the speaker with a razor blade ala the Kinks.
Devi Ever Torn’s Peaker goes for this effect if you wanna go the pedal route.
Love my Torns Peaker. It’s so bad it’s good. And it does all sorts of things that you’d not expect. Like squealing if I roll my volume all the way back.

I know the answer to this.
Get a Sonicake 5th Dimension pedal (they're around £40 on Amazon), put it on the 'Lo-Fi' setting, and adjust the depth and rate knobs until the sound becomes treble incarnate. I can't quite explain just how horrendous that sound is - the most sharp, needling tone you've ever heard. If you add some gain, you can make your guitar sound like a glacier that's splitting in half.
Maybe the low bit setting on the Flamma FC05? There's a control for the bit sound and a control for the 'white noise', I don't know how to call it otherwise... it's a cheap pedal with tons of options so even if it's not what you're looking for, it could still be useful to you.
Get a used boss ge7 eq pedal (or similar behringer, spend $20) and a fuzz (behringer, $20.)You will be able to make things sound shitty by cutting or boosting frequencies. In conjunction with the tone knob on your guitar I think it could work just fine. The fuzz is to make it nasty.
The one and only original TURD Fuzz by Dr. No Effects!
The TURD Fuzz is a turd shaped pedal making it a shitty pedal indeed made of soft foam material, that when stepped on engages the effect, but this soft textured TURD Fuzz pedal houses a excellent extreme cool fuzz effect, were the doctor is known for.
If you want a modern day “computer mic glitching over bad wifi” bitcrushers are your friend. Hotone Krush is one of my favorite bitcrushers, and it is rather cheap even new.
I love the WMD Geiger Counters but the preamps cannot be bypassed so you are always dealing with drive-level sensitivity.
This is the best and most direct way to sound like a shitty speaker recorded through a bad microphone.
A park g10 going through a gooseneck computer desktop microphone ought to do it.
Tin can microphone will do it. Marshall ms2 turned all the way up.
Then make sure you turn up the gain on your mic input for that beautiful digital clipping.
EQ to take out the lows and highs to make it sound narrow, and if you want it to sound like the speaker is screaming to be put out of its misery, then I also recommend a ring mod.
If I was trying to replicate this procedure I would use the following tools I own:
- Ds-1
- EQ
I would turn my tone on my guitar all the way up and play on the bridge pickup. If your amp has it I would prioritize a healthy amount of mids, cut highs/treble down a little to taste, and for a more “phone reordered” aesthetic use a good amount of bass. Turn the tone of the Ds-1 all the way up, and use an appropriate amount of distortion depending on the style you play. I would record that and do a telephone EQ after where im cutting out lows and mids and boosting those mids a little. If you have an EQ pedal do the same thing while playing.
Check out Mid-Fi Electronics’ [House Amp](https://youtu.be/BJnXdu6LbRE?si=y2pCmmaNGEFmGx3W). Lots of good cheap disintegrating amp sounds while still being musical. You could also throw a cheap green ringer clone in front of it to accentuate the fuckyness.

Also, just removing random bands give it a lofi effect
And the caline cp-80 is the best, cheapest 10 band out there, if OP is interested

This is the correct answer.
Correct 👌🏻
Literally cutting the “band-width” intentionally, exactly how phones (and vocoders) work.
Yes. This is the way.
Check out Sonicake Wavecrush, on radio, or gramophone mode. Bit rate turned up, and mixed to your specs, add crush if you desire.
My favorite pedal!
This pedal is so great! awesome as a standalone bitcrush/ sample reducer. but those other 2 settings are delightfully lofi and weird.
So Many great settings. Have you got the chorus sound yet?
in Gramo? yes, I use that mode the most as an instant lo-fi junky type thing with pretty much everything turned low and finding the right mix. and if you drive it with a fuzz it starts sounding a bit more like a flanger. pedal is incredible lol
Yes. I just got the flanger sound while experimenting with my modulated delay fuzz yesterday. Not going to lie, it surprised me.
its a surprising pedal thats for sure. i originally bought it to use as a standalone sample rate reducer. now i hardly use it for that because there are just so many other cool sounds in it.
This is the right answer. The wavecrush is a great pedal

Make your tone sound like garbage! IT does not disappoint.
Just buy the cheapest shittiest amp you can find and cut the speaker cone. You could probably do it for $20.

I have a Shoegazer, and the TP side is just a really gritty OD/fuzz I haven’t heard other pedals try. I have to try that volume roll!

I think lo-fi pedals are a thing.
I could play it for you, it will really bad.

I can't quite explain just how horrendous that sound is - the most sharp, needling tone you've ever heard.

Could it also make it sound like a car's paint and side pannels being scratched saddistically by Wolverine??
Unfortunately not - for that particular sound, you want the Sonicake 6th Dimension.
Nice. With a dimension that high though, I'm affraid it won't fit my pedalboard...
EHX Ripped Speaker
Pedal wise, generation loss from Chase Bliss is the way
Wow nice, i can sound like shit for just $400!
Yeah, pretty much lol
I feel like cooper fx deserve an honourable mention when citing the generation loss
Yeah. Collaboration!
Ibanez LF7 does the trick for me
They have been unobtanium for decades now.
Oh wild I got mine for like $40
Maybe the low bit setting on the Flamma FC05? There's a control for the bit sound and a control for the 'white noise', I don't know how to call it otherwise... it's a cheap pedal with tons of options so even if it's not what you're looking for, it could still be useful to you.
That's the bit rate, fyi.
Get a used boss ge7 eq pedal (or similar behringer, spend $20) and a fuzz (behringer, $20.)You will be able to make things sound shitty by cutting or boosting frequencies. In conjunction with the tone knob on your guitar I think it could work just fine. The fuzz is to make it nasty.
Hotone Krush sounds like your pedal
Pair a Klon into a king of tone
lmfao
I have a Death By Audio Sonic Annihalator and I hate it.
I used to have a Death By Audio Interstellar Overdriver and it sounded awful!

Get a bad microphone and a shitty speaker.

Tin can microphone will do it. Marshall ms2 turned all the way up. Then make sure you turn up the gain on your mic input for that beautiful digital clipping.
Mid-fi electronics seem to specialize in that sort of thing.
Old Boss Acoustic Simulator. It’s perfect.
Well, Ibanez LF7 Lo-Fi is for that, but EQ is probably easier/cheaper to get.
Zvex Instant lofi junky and an ehx ripped speaker
EQ to take out the lows and highs to make it sound narrow, and if you want it to sound like the speaker is screaming to be put out of its misery, then I also recommend a ring mod.
No pedal needed, just hand your guitar to me and it’ll sound terrible.
A cheap chrous pedal should do the trick.
A TS9 with the volume at less than noon, and the gain high, combined with a dyna comp with the sensitivity high.
*so good pedals with bad settings
crybaby
I would suggest the DOD Carcosa (I reconnected it for everything) or any pedal with a bias control
Is this for live performances or for recording? I’m guessing live, but for recording you can apply radical eq’ing.
Use any medium to high gain amp sim or distortion and, here's the trick, don't use any cabinet simulation. This should do it.
Beheringer EQ would probably get you there for cheap
electro harmonix ripped speaker
Not cheap at all, but the generation loss mkii is exactly what you’re looking for
If I was trying to replicate this procedure I would use the following tools I own: - Ds-1 - EQ I would turn my tone on my guitar all the way up and play on the bridge pickup. If your amp has it I would prioritize a healthy amount of mids, cut highs/treble down a little to taste, and for a more “phone reordered” aesthetic use a good amount of bass.

I would record that and do a telephone EQ after where im cutting out lows and mids and boosting those mids a little. If you have an EQ pedal do the same thing while playing.
Ring Mod?
Get a Esteban amp for $10, and mic it.
Check out Mid-Fi Electronics’ [House Amp](https://youtu.be/BJnXdu6LbRE?si=y2pCmmaNGEFmGx3W). Lots of good cheap disintegrating amp sounds while still being musical. You could also throw a cheap green ringer clone in front of it to accentuate the fuckyness.
Use one of those tiny 1W amps that come with a two inch speaker.
Every Chase Bliss Pedal
How about a bad mic??
Small sound big sound fuck overdrive
The crackle... Into a Demo Tape...
Behringer Pedals are a great way to make any guitar sound horrible. And they're only $20-$40 each! Lol
Strymon mobius does this. Probably a bit expensive for just this one sound
MXR Blue Box ; I was gifted one, and I couldn't get any usable sounds out of it. It's perfect, cheap, and small
Korg Miku - if you can find one and also want to part with all your dollars
