If you’re on the hunt for guitar pedal-inspired plugins, Chaos Audio has just the thing for you. Their Freebie Plugin Bundle delivers seven unique plugins, including reverb, drive, delay, and EQ all at no cost.
While amp sims dominate the plugin world, dedicated pedal-style emulations are relatively rare. Sure, you can use broader effects plugins, but they often come with a barrage of controls, losing the simplicity and charm of traditional pedals. Chaos Audio embraces that simplicity, offering straightforward plugins with impressive versatility.
Here’s a breakdown of what’s included in the bundle:
Apollo
This overdrive plugin is described as an “asymmetrical clipping overdrive” that delivers a range of tones, from subtle clean boosts to rich crunch and distorted leads.
- Controls: Drive (breakup amount), Level (output gain), and Tone (brightness).
Starlight
Inspired by the vastness of the night sky, Starlight is a shimmer reverb perfect for creating lush, atmospheric sounds. Its compact design makes it reminiscent of the classic Valhalla Shimmer but in a more user-friendly package.
- Controls: Space (reverb size), Lumens (shimmer intensity), Tone, and Mix.
Cassini
Cassini takes reverb to the next level with harmonic enhancements that create rich, immersive soundscapes.
- Controls: Space (reverb size), Gamma (harmonic trails), Tone, and Mix.
Transit
This delay plugin offers crystal-clear, high-resolution repeats, making it easy to dial in precise delay effects.
- Controls: Time (tempo-syncable delay), Repeats (number of echoes), Tone, and Mix.
Booster
True to its name, Booster is a clean boost plugin with a single knob to adjust the gain. It’s perfect for pushing an amp or enhancing your signal chain.
- Control: Boost.
Spectrometer
This 6-band EQ is tailored for guitar frequencies, making it a practical tool for sculpting your tone effortlessly.
- Bands: 100Hz, 200Hz, 400Hz, 800Hz, 1.6kHz, and 3.2kHz, with ±12dB adjustment for each.
Spectrobass
Designed specifically for bass, Spectrobass is a 7-band EQ that offers precise control over your low-end frequencies, created in collaboration with Martin Bartlett.
- Bands: 50Hz, 120Hz, 400Hz, 500Hz, 800Hz, 4.5kHz, and a 10kHz shelf, with ±15dB adjustment.
All Chaos Audio plugins are available in VST3, AU, and AAX formats, compatible with both Windows and macOS.
