The world’s tiniest 4-channel guitar amp plugin — now with a built-in backing track player and idea recorder. From clean jazz tones to classic rock crunch and modern metal leads, TinyAmp gives you studio-ready amp sounds in a single knob turn. Featuring built-in cab sims, ambience, and smart practice tools, it’s perfect for home practice, quick songwriting, demos, and capturing inspiration whenever it strikes. TinyAmp needs an external audio interface (e.g. iRig) to process your guitar signal.

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.
