Description:

This pedal was inspired by a retro console that became a turning point in video game sound design. It was called the Super Nintendo (SNES). Before the SNES, video game sound was created by using a simple PSG (Programmable Sound Generator) or FM Synthesis (Frequency Modulation). The SNES was able to use fully digital audio samples in the sound engine. 

This was made possible by an Audio System called the S-SMP developed by an engineer at Sony. Interestingly enough, this was a bit controversial at the time. Legend has it that Sony wasn't aware that their engineer Ken Kutaragi was working on this project for Nintendo. Despite the brief controversy. Ken's creation of the S-SMP for the SNES revolutionized video game sound. It gave composers the ability to use digital samples and also some DSP effects like echo.

These audio samples were compressed to 16-bits (Not bad for 1990!) using BRR (Bit Rate Reduction). This 16 bit sound has become an iconic lofi sound that evokes nostalgia from the early days of console gaming. 

SMPLoFi:

This pedal pays homage to the S-SMP audio system in a few ways. It features 2 different DSP programs switched between using the red button. 

Program 1 (Red Button Up)

Yellow Knob: Controls the bit depth from 24 bits fully Counter Clockwise) to 2 bits fully clockwise) 

As the knob is turned clockwise, the bit depth drops revealing lofi distortion and artifacts reminiscent of a retro video game.  

Green Knob: Controls the sample rate. This can be a daunting effect to use. Different frequencies that you play will react differently at the chosen sample rate. It can truly rip apart your input signal and turn it into something experimental. It is a very touchy control. We recommend starting with it mostly clockwise and then dropping the sample rate (counter-clockwise) to taste!

Blue Knob: This knob is your best friend! With how intense the Bit and Sample Rate controls can be, it is important to be able to blend your dry signal with the effected one. fully counter-clockwise is 100% dry, 12 O'clock is 50% wet and 50% dry, fully clockwise is 100% wet!

Program 2 (Red Button Down)

This program introduces reverb and a band pass filter in honor of some of the simple DSP effects used on the SNES.

Yellow Knob: Just like program 1, this controls the bit depth from 24 bits fully counter-clockwise to 2 bits fully clockwise. However, this knob also controls the length of a gate for the Reverb. This means that when the bit depth is high, the gate is longer, creating longer reverb trails. When the bit depth is low, the reverb gate is shorter. This means that the reverb is cut off quickly. This knob is super powerful and so much fun. It can take you from staccato quick synth echoes, to lofi bit reduced reverb. 

Green Knob: Controls the frequency of the band pass filter. With all of the artifacts, reverb, and nuance that this effect creates, it is super helpful to have a filter to pinpoint what frequencies are outputted. Maybe you want some chimey high end tones. Turn the knob clockwise. If you want some brooding lofi bass tones, turn the knob counter-clockwise. Experiment with different frequencies, there are no rules here!

Blue Knob: The same mix control from program 1 (your best friend!). fully counter-clockwise is 100% dry, 12 O'clock is 50% wet and 50% dry, fully clockwise is 100% wet!

 

This pedal is all about dialing in experimental yet nostalgic sounds from the early days of console gaming. It may appear simple on the surface (SMPLoFi.. you get it now?) but it really can do a ton of different things. It all comes down to the users imagination and past experiences.

If you aren't sure if this effect is for you, let me set the stage. 

You're 8 years old and It's Christmas day 1990. You're in a cozy little living room with fresh snow falling down on the roof. there is medium size box sitting underneath the tree. As you frantically rip the cheesy wrapping paper off of it, you reveal your first gaming console, the Super Nintendo. You ask your parents to help you plug it into the families boxy CRT. They help you plug in the space age looking cables and you hit the power button. You are greeted with true sensory overload and are filled with joyous wonder as the first game boots up. It is a moment that will stick with you for the rest of your life. The sights, the feelings, the sounds.

    Weighty and well designed
    Color: Gray
    The Bestand Laptop Stand is a testament to quality and thoughtful design. From an ergonomic perspective, this stand truly shines. It elevates my laptop screen to eye level, promoting better typing and viewing to reduce strain on my back and neck. Another standout feature is the weighty and solid construction of this stand. It's crafted from a single piece of aluminum, which not only adds to the stand sturdiness but also gives it a sleek, modern look. The surface is spacious and accommodates laptops from 11 to 16 inches. Both the weight of the stand and the silicone treads below and underneath the laptop, and on a metal lip in front, ensure that neither the stand nor the computer move around. The manufacturer claims a 66-pound load-bearing capacity for the stand, and I believe it. This thing is rugged. The inclusion of a slot at the rear for cables to pass through is a small yet incredibly practical detail. It helps keep my workspace organized and tidy. Three slots in the stand aid with heat dissipation and are yet another thoughtful design feature that cools my laptop during extended usage. While the stand excels in many respect, one limitation is its lack of height adjustability. However, if height adjustability is important to you, you’ll find lots of other options for stands here on Amazon. Bottom line: I like it. Chances are, you will too. The Bestand Laptop Stand is a nice blend of durability, functionality, ergonomic comfort, and attractiveness—all at a reasonable price.

    Pleasantly Surprised
    Color: Gray
    Honestly, I was a little hesitant buying a laptop stand that didn't offer an adjustable angle, but for the price, I couldn't pass up checking this out. I'm very glad I did. First, this stand came really well packaged. For a $37 stand, I wasn't expecting much, but box and packaging was impressive. After pulling the stand out of the box, my first impression was this was both weighty and well machined. The edges were smooth, there were no imperfections I could find and the space gray color was dead-on. As far as functionality goes, this is a tremendous improvement form having my MacBook Air sitting directly on my desk; the angle is perfect for my use case, the wiring hole in the back is more than adequate and the whole setup just looks slick. If you're hesitant about buying a cheaper stand that doesn't offer an adjustable angle, don't worry about this one, it does the trick.

    Upscale look
    These valet trays have a really upscale look and feel. I originally thought they’d make a great Father’s Day gift, but after using them, I realized they’re perfect for everyday use by the front door for mail, keys, wallet, and other essentials. They have a nice weight and perfect size to them and the felt bottom keeps surfaces protected from scratches. The combination of acacia wood and metal gives them a modern, sophisticated style that works well in an office, bedroom, entryway, or nightstand area. They’re both practical and decorative, making it easy to keep things organized while still looking polished. Nice quality product.

    Missing screws, can’t contact seller
    The trays are really nice, however one came with missing screws. I’ve tried to contact seller via phone number that Amazon provided however the number is disconnected. Great quality other than the missing screws.

    These are great!
    I really like this two-pack of desk drawer organizers. I’m using them as valet trays, one on my nightstand and another in a different bedroom, and they work great for that. They feel very well made. The wood has a nice, high-quality feel, and the trays have enough weight that they don’t slide around easily when bumped. The velvet lining is very nice and protects my items from scratching. They’re also a good size and hold quite a bit without feeling bulky. Overall, I’m really pleased with these. They’re functional, well made, and look great.
