Death By Audio Amp Crash

Amp Crash packs the sound and feel of a cranked amp into a compact stompbox. With a built-in 3-watt amplifier, internal 2″ speaker, and microphone, it captures the interaction of a real speaker moving air, then lets you blend the direct amp signal with the mic’d sound for everything from rich overdrive to crushing fuzz, blooming harmonics, natural feedback, and completely unpredictable textures.

Unlike traditional distortion or amp simulation pedals, Amp Crash creates sound physically, not just electronically. A real amplifier drives a real speaker. A real microphone captures what that speaker is actually doing. As those elements interact, they generate harmonics, feedback, compression, and textures that only exist because air is moving inside the pedal.

The result is an instrument that breathes, responds, and sometimes even fights back, just like your favorite cranked amp. Perfect for recording, practicing, experimenting, or discovering sounds you simply can’t get from a conventional pedalboard.
