  • Tone Circuitry module including unfaithful approximations of three classic guitar amps
  • Time-domain Pitch Shifter with two independent voices
  • Lofi Looper with three Recording Mediums (Tape, BBD, Data) and adjustable quality
  • Hum low-frequency drone oscillator
  • Stereo Chorus module with bass frequency preservation and 4 waveshapes
  • Amplitude Modulation module with 4 waveshapes for tremolo and ring mod effects
  • Envelope Follower module that can modulate Drive, Resonator, and Hum modules

That’s the coolest plugin interface I’ve ever seen, I want a whole DAW that looks like that!

I love these guys. This plugin is incredible for only $24. I have really cut down on plugin purchases because I have so many but I have thrown this one immediately on a track I’m working on. It sounds fantastic and has so much functionality in it. The distortion is very very good and musical.

Highly recommend

These people makes the best plugins right now
Awesome interfaces too. Sketch cassette and digitalis are insane. I use it a lot. And great price.

I’ll be echoing the recommendations for this plugin and Aberrant DSP more generally. Their designs tend to be quite characterful and so don’t necessarily overlap with other more typical implementation of particular effects.

I really like how they’ve implemented the automation of the looper on Cataclysm -it means you can point a random LFO at one control which is great fun for little unpredictable glitching repeats. It would be even cooler if it you could shorten the loop buffer further. The amplitude modulator sounds great when modulated too.
