DIAL is a lofi radio simulator, not just another bitcrusher. Six processors run in a fixed, physically ordered chain—tuner, interference, tone, reception, rattle, and output—so noise enters before the band filter, just like a real receiver. Tune across seven stations with a draggable needle or the Tune knob; drift off-station and hiss swells while the signal fades. Hold the Search button to hop the band randomly, then release for a smooth glide back. AM mode folds to narrow, gritty mono with extra drive, while FM stays clean and stereo. Each stage has its own bypass, and master mix/output sit on the footer. Perfect for intros, transitions, fills, and pre-drop moments, DIAL suits producers chasing authentic broadcast character—from clean station lock to static-soaked drift—without stacking separate plugins.
