Audio Damage Fuzzplus 3 Free Distortion

Features

  • Accurate digital model of a vintage distortion pedal’s circuitry.
  • Resonant low-pass filter modeled on the MS20 analog synthesizer.
  • Self-feedback control for exploring new sonic territory (In less pretentious language: feeds the output back to the input, which sounds cool on some stuff, and farty on other stuff. Your mileage may vary).
  • Cross-platform XML-based preset mechanism for easy sharing and saving of presets.
  • Animated procedural OpenGL-based user interface. No bitmaps were harmed in the making of this plug-in.
  • Surround-capable for all formats up to 7.1, for all your surround-sound distortion needs.

Musical Entropy Guitar Gadgets

Guitar Gadgets is a compilation of “false” analog guitar pedal simulations, made to be used mainly with electric guitars and guitar amp simulations, but which may be sound interesting in any situation. The focus here wasn’t to design classic effects, but weird, strange, ugly or “different” ones instead.

The effects included are the following:

  • Delay Attack: a delay effect which can be controlled by the way you attack the guitar strings.
  • Super Phazor: a phaser effect with a feedback control.
  • Niagara Falls: a bathroom / cathedral / Niagara Falls – like reverberation effect.
  • The Crusher: an effect which brings only destruction and annihilation.
  • Larsenator: a false larsen generator thanks to distortion and feedback.
  • Combulator: a modulated comb filter effect.
  • Miaou Miaou pedal: it’s like a Wah Wah pedal, but it does “Miaou Miaou” instead.
  • Microcassette: one particular tape recorder emulation, going a little too far maybe.
  • Slicer: an effect which slices the sound from the guitar at any specified rate.
  • Filtrator: a filter pedal effect like, based on the EMS VCS3 analog filter.
  • Convolutor: a gadget to convolute weird sounds.

Guitar Gadgets is available on VST and AU formats (32/64-bits, Windows & Mac OS X).
