User reviews

This AUv3 is mental.

Buy it.

I own pretty much 90% of the AUv3 effects out there and this has become an instant favorite. The level of modulation that this little tool will grant you will have you revisiting EVERY AUv3 you love.

This little guy is really one of my favorite effects out there, comparable to Eventide’s level of greatness but at 33% the cost, what else do you need?

This is a beast.

Thank you

Good effect app...

Once you get a hang of it. Never crashed on me and I’ve been using for a while now.

Garbage

Totally unstable. Crashes DAW.

Add Grit to Audio

An app that allows you to add grit and punch to your audio tracks. It’s straightforward and can be dialed in to adjust the level and shape of the wave folding you desire.
