Tapko Lift vs MicroLag

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.

MicroLag is a delay audio processor that allows you to set the delay time in an exact number of samples. While there are already quite a few sample delay plugins available, I couldn’t find one that quite fit my needs, so I made one. MicroLag allows you to set relatively long delay times, e.g. up to around 1 second at 48KHz sampling rate. You can also smoothly toggle between the delayed and bypassed / dry signal. Finally, the actual delay time in milliseconds (depending on the host sample rate) is displayed. That’s basically it! MicroLag is an AUv3 effects plugin that can run standalone, or in any AUv3 compatible host such as Logic Pro, GarageBand or AUM. MicroLag currently runs on iPadOS / iOS (iPad & iPhone) and macOS (Intel & Silicon) and is available as a Universal Purchase from the Apple App Store. If you’re planning on using MicroLag on Mac / desktop, please ensure that your favourite DAW / host supports AUv3 (not just AU).
