Bit Crushing plugin?

Anyone know of an RTAS/TDM plugin that will do a good bit crushing, or simulation of sample rate mismatch?

What do you use that TBK2 plug on J-UK? I use the logic bit crush with varying results.

On live drums I mostly sum them to a aux and stick it on there. I put it on the Grime settting and and stick the dial between 3 and 5 a clock, not too much but enough to get that muddy sound.
On sampled drums usually straight on the kick track to get a bit of sheen - don't really work on clean 909 type kicks tho.
Works really well if you wanna put a bit of "top" on a bass but don't wanna use a dist.

On more extreme settings the logic one is great but it can't do subtle stuff like the tbk can.

Lo-Fi is pretty cool.

Back in the OS9 days, there was a really cool plug-in by the company Arboretum called Decimator. It was an audiosuite plug-in that just handled bit-reduction all the way down to 2 bits.
