Scorched Haze

Turn driven guitars and synths into something that sounds recorded inside a furnace. Scorched Haze is an expressive AUv3 effect built for two complementary roles. Push an already driven guitar through heavy saturation, compressed heat and dark space for a massive furnace-recorded character—or apply it sparingly to synths, vocals and drums for extra warmth, harmonic colour and movement. HEAT brings the intensity, from a restrained glow to dense saturation and driven compression. COLOUR shapes the temperature of the sound, moving between dark weight, bright harmonics, smooth warmth and scorched edges. GLIMMER adds softly animated upper harmonics inspired by embers flickering away from a fire. MIX balances the original and processed signals, while Space expands the stereo image into a dark, modulated Ember Plate. DETAIL lets you combine two of eight character types—from valve-like Glow and transformer-heavy Iron to aggressive Char, Pressure and Furnace processing. Use Scorched Haze heavily when a guitar needs to sound enormous, enclosed and dangerously hot. Use it lightly when a synth needs warmth, movement and a more tactile analog edge. Eleven tuned presets provide starting points for gentle warmth, medium coloration, driven compression, scorched guitar tones and expansive heat haze. Demo: https://youtu.be/O9LnWRuDpS4
