emulating a cheap sampling toy



Howdy, Noisemakers!
The other day my daughter was recording herself (and snippets of TV audio) 
with her little lo-res hand-held sampling toy, which allows her to record 
about 4 seconds of whatever the built-in mic can pick up and then play it 
back in charmingly mangled low fidelity. Part of this must be the low 
resolution of the toy-grade digital circuitry, and a some of it may be 
from the 2-inch speaker (and the not-exactly-Class-A amplifier circuit). 
The question is this: 
Is there anything on the market that can cop the sound of a toy sampler? 
Anything that can sonically degrade our instruments in a similar way? It's 
an entertaining texture and I am beginning to hunger for it 
(bwa-ha-ha-ha-hahaaa!!)
