CrunchDude is a simple guitar amplifier emulation. As the name implies, its strength lies not only in clean or over-the-top lead sounds, but especially in the crunch sounds it can produce.
Features:
- The Input section. No distortion takes place here yet, only amplification and equalization plus a Low Cut control (which determines the cut-off frequency of the 6 dB/octave filter).
- Two Pre-amp sections. These are switched in series, and are completely equivalent. You can switch them on and off. They have a 3-band equalizer with adjustable cut-off frequencies, and a Drive dial that determines the gain and the resulting distortion. The equalizer is “passive”, which means that when Low, Mid, and High are in maximum position, no alteration of the sound takes place (flat frequency response, 0 dB gain).
- The Output Stage section. Again, you have the same type of 3-band equalizer at your disposal, an Output level dial, and an extra Low Cut.
- The Cabinets section. There are two almost identical sections in parallel here, which you can balance with the Mix dial. You can switch this section off. The sound of both sections is determined by their Prox (proximity) and Fdb (feedback) dials.

Couture gives you control over your dynamics, and particularly attacks.
Raw Efficiency. Increase or decrease dynamics. Get a usable result, now.
Fully Volume-independent. Keep the freedom to change input gain when needed. Including the Saturation stage.
Laser-sharp. Couture’s 2-bands, half-spectral, RMS, program-dependent detector finds each and every transient. No internal thresholds.
Couture is very versatile:
- Make individual drum tracks a lot more dynamic and punchy
- Remove the “click” out of a kick drum sample
- Make a whole bus more or less dynamic in a single click
- Give glue to a mix with light compression and saturation.
- Use a subtle saturation that preserve dynamics.
- Deess the very start of notes for vocals.
- Give life to inane lead synths.
This is Freemium software.
There are two versions:
- Couture Free has the saturation part disabled.
- Couture Full gets the whole deal. It’s the real Couture.

Chrissy is a free tool for lo-fi/sonic mayhem. Although it is primarily designed to be used on the human voice, it can deliver interesting results in other applications such as (electric) guitar, synth-drones or beats.

Chorrosive is a simple device: it accepts audio in, “runs it through various types of battery acid”, and drops it out the other side. The ‘Battery Acid’ is comprised of a chorus unit, band pass filter and transistor emulation, applied to the incoming audio in varying degrees.
Common usage is via the Large Friendly Dial on the front. Turn it up to stir the acid; turn it down to retrieve your original signal.
