Death By Audio and Rainger FX release Amp Crash, a 3-watt amp and distortion pedal hybrid with built-in mic
↗
Amp Crash is a guitar pedal enclosure containing a 3-watt amplifier with a 2-inch speaker and an internal microphone, designed to produce harsh distortion tones that can be recorded directly into a DAW.
For audio engineers and producers, Amp Crash offers a way to capture the physical interaction between a speaker and microphone pushing analog distortion, rather than relying on digital amp simulations. The device's internal mic picks up real air movement and room sound, creating natural compression and feedback effects that digital plugins don't replicate.

Amp Crash combines a 3-watt amp, 2-inch speaker, and internal microphone in a guitar pedal enclosure, allowing direct recording of physical speaker distortion.
The device never produces clean tones and introduces natural compression, clipping, and feedback as gain increases past 12 o'clock.
A built-in multi-effect module offers lo-fi digital reverb, echo, and chorus with depth and time controls.
