TS-999

TS-999 free overdrive | saturation by Ignite Amps

TS-999 is a free overdrive and saturation VST, Audio Unit plugin developed by Ignite Amps. Compatible OS(s): Windows, macOS.

TS-999 “SubScreamer” is a digital emulation of an overdrive pedal for guitar. It has been developed to accurately model its real hardware counterpart, built for Subhuman guitarists Matteo Buti and Elia Murgia by Ignite Amps in 2010.

The TS-999 core circuit is inspired by the most famous green “808” overdrive pedal, with additional features to increase its versatility. It can easily add dirt and bite to clean guitar tones, as well as make the amplifier distortion sound tighter, more focused and more responsive to picking, avoiding low-end muddiness and high-end fizz.

Every single component on the signal path of the real analog circuit has been taken into account and modeled in the best possible way to match the original sound, keeping an eye to CPU performances and real-time playability at the same time.

TS-999 is meant to be used as an overdrive pedal for live playing, tracking or mixing inside hosts capable of VST or AU Plug-Ins support.

Main Features:

  • Dynamic 2N3904 BJT input and output buffers analog modeling.
  • Dynamic 1N4148 diode clipping circuit analog modeling.
  • Op-amp saturation analog modeling.
  • Symmetric / Asymmetric clipping mode.
  • Normal / Fat bass response mode.
  • Mono / Stereo processing support.
  • Switchable Input and Output Buffer modeling to decrease CPU usage.
  • Selectable oversampling rate (up to 8x).
  • Variable Input Level control for better response to different pickups.
  • Double precision (64-bit) floating point mathematical model.
  • Fully automatable controls.
  • Zero latency.

TNT

TNT free overdrive by Ourafilmes

TNT is a free overdrive VST plugin developed by Ourafilmes. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

This free VST plugin has an exclusive distortion algorithm with 2 different flavours: single band and multi-band. It is, in reality, a collection of 2 plugins that only differ by the user desire/will: want to work the sound in one band or in two?

With 5 different distortion types (clipper, overdrive 1 and 2, distortion 1 and 2) the single-band version features also a Tone control while the multi-band version has a transparent 6dB/octave Crossover Filter (to divide both bands) and Balance controls (to level them). Both include a back view and an exclusive vintage design.

It was launched to celebrate the Dr. Speaker Blower 15 years career (in his audio duties) and, as such, it is only available in his website.

Full automation, MIDI learn (right-click knobs), zero latency.

This is a 32-bit VST plugin.

Check the video to see how it works.
