Ancient inter-app audio effect Muckraker rises from the grave as an AUv3 plugin. Use it in GarageBand, AUM or your favourite audio application. Muckraker is a truculent modulated distortion effect. It can make your sound just a tiny bit rougher around the edges or ruin it utterly. If you knew its previous incarnation, rest assured it still has the same bad attitude. If not, well. Steel yourself. Muckraker remains 100% free. No ads, no in-app purchases, no subscriptions, no surveillance, no nag screens.
