When to use it

A quick way to make a sound come out of a small radio or cheap speaker. Good on drums, vocals and samples for lo-fi hip-hop, indie and pop. It's more of a character effect than the general-purpose saturators in the rated list, and unlike Dirty Tape from the same developer, it does not cover the tape side of lo-fi.
