Ratshack Reverb is a detailed model of that classic of classics, the Realistic Electronic Reverb. Now, you can have the sound of everyone's first analog delay unit, without ever having to change batteries! As anyone who has owned this unit (which is just about everyone...) knows, it was actually an analog delay, not a reverb at all, and we've done our best to exactly replicate the sound and quirks of the original. We've even modeled the distortion that occurs by running a line signal in to the mic inputs. Features » Accurate analog "bucket-brigade" style delay model. Change the delay time, and the signal pitches accordingly. » Both mic and line inputs modeled, for overdriving the delay section if desired. » XML-based cross-platform preset manager, with copy and paste. (You can even move presets between the iOS version and the desktop version with Handoff.) » Entirely vector-based resizable high-resolution user interface » Both IAA and AUv3 versions included.

Lil' Doc is a compressor effect based on the muscular, vinyl simulator in an early 00s workhorse sampler. It’s a powerful effect that’s found a cult following among lo-fi heads, and rightly so! We first implemented this compression algorithm for our paid plug-in Doctor Vibe, and the sound was so unique, we thought it would be a great first entry in our free plug-in series. Enjoy! Features: - Completely free, no unlock required! - Four controls: - Detroit-style mix slammer - Warm vinyl noise and crackle - Drive to clip the converters! - Four sample grades to choose - Output gain - One-click loudness matching - Light or dark color scheme. Lil' Doc is an AUv3 effect plug-in. For best experience, load the plug-in on an effects slot in a compatible host. You can also preview the effect in the standalone with our new mini-player.
