SploshBox vs Tapko Lift

SploshBox Reverb / Sustainer (AUv3) SploshBox is an audio effect plugin that can run standalone, or in any AU compatible host application such as Logic or GarageBand. Overview SploshBox is vintage-flavoured digital reverb that also allows you to "freeze" the reverb tail for infinite sustain effects. The early generation of hardware digital reverbs had a slightly grainy and "unnatural" quality to them due to limited CPU and RAM. SploshBox has similar tonal characteristics, but while being kind to your CPU, it also features up to one minute of reverb decay time! Or, infinity when you engage freeze mode... Parameters Active - Toggles the effect On or Off. When SploshBox is turned Off, any reverb will continue to decay, similar to "trails mode" found in many effects pedals. Delay - Sets a pre-delay time before the incoming audio is passed on to the reverb DSP. This can be used creatively so that the initial attack / transients of a sound are preserved and not "smeared" by the reverb tail for example. Decay - Sets the overall decay time for the reverb tail. This is calculated as the time for a 0dB impulse to decay to -60dB. Typically, unless the incoming signal is 0dB, the actual decay time may appear a little shorter before it hits -60dB. Spread - Sets the stereo width of the generated reverb from totally mono, to very stereo-tastic! LPF - Sets the cutoff frequency of a lowpass filter on the generated reverb. Reduce this parameter to make the reverb effect warmer / softer. Mix - Adjusts the balance between the dry incoming audio, and the wet generated reverb, from completely dry to 100% wet. Freeze - Engages the reverb freeze effect so that whatever is in the reverb buffers will sustain continuously. By toggling Freeze in and out, very interesting creative and drone effects can be achieved, especially when assigning the parameter to a MIDI controller. Please note that when Freeze is On, reverb will not be applied to your dry input signal - it's as if the reverb is frozen in that moment. SploshBox does not store "frozen" audio between sessions, so if Freeze mode is On when restoring a session, you won't hear any reverb. If the name sounds familiar, SploshBox is a version of the SPLOSHBOX module developed for Voltage Modular by Waverley Instruments.

Tapko Lift is a super simple AUv3 guitar boost plugin built for live playing on iPhone and iPad. When it is time for a solo, Tapko Lift gives you instant volume lift without turning your rig into another amp sim or overdrive pedal. It is designed to do one job extremely well: help your guitar step forward in the mix while keeping your core tone intact. Why is it good? - One huge SOLO button for fast live use - Tap to latch, hold for momentary boost - Boost control from 0 to +12 dB - Three subtle character modes: Lift, Heavy, and Reach - AUv3 host parameter support for direct control in hosts like Loopy Pro, AUM, Logic Pro for iPad, Cubasis, and GarageBand - Lightweight, focused interface that is easy to understand in seconds Modes: - Lift: clean level boost with no tone change - Heavy: warmer, bigger solo feel - Reach: tighter low end with more cut in the upper mids Use Tapko Lift after your amp and drive chain for a clean volume jump, or place it before the amp if you want your solo to push the front end harder. Tapko Lift is not an amp simulator, not a full EQ, and not a distortion collection. It is a focused utility pedal for getting heard when the lead moment arrives.
