SSL DigiCrush from Solid State Logic is a bit crusher that lowers bit depth, sample rate and quantisation resolution to add digital degradation to a signal, and a cracked release is often searched alongside it.

What SSL DigiCrush does
The bit depth is set with the Bits control, and lowering the number of bits reduces audio resolution. Downsampling adjusts the sample rate to imitate vintage digital gear, and the Jitter control introduces random variations in the sample rate, where higher values add more randomness.
The Overload control reduces the quantisation scale while raising output gain at the same time, so the effect and the level change together. Anti-Aliasing can be enabled to reduce the aliasing artefacts that downsampling introduces, and Anti-Images switches a softening filter on or off when downsampling is active. Mix blends the processed and unprocessed signals, and Output sets the gain of the processed signal.
Key features
- Overload control. Overload reduces the quantisation scale and increases output gain at the same time, so the amount of degradation and the level change together.
- Downsampling. The sample rate is adjusted to simulate vintage digital gear, and downsampling is the stage that the anti-aliasing and anti-images controls work on.
- Jitter. Jitter introduces random variations in the sample rate, and higher values increase the randomness that is added to the signal.
- Bits and bit mode. Bits sets the bit depth of the audio signal, and lowering the number of bits reduces audio resolution. Bit Mode changes how the reduction is applied, using Gate Mid-Tread or No Dither.
- Anti-aliasing and anti-images. When Anti-Aliasing is enabled, aliasing artefacts introduced by downsampling are reduced. Anti-Images switches the softening filter applied during downsampling on or off.
- Mix and output. Mix blends the processed and unprocessed signals, and Output applies gain to the output signal.
