Camel Audio has released CamelCrusher, a new free VST and Audio Unit plugin for Windows and Mac OS X (Universal Binary).

CamelCrusher is a versatile 'colouring' multi-effect that borrows some features from its big brother CamelPhat. It offers two different distortion algorithms which can be blended together to create a wide variety of tones and textures. There's also a warm, smooth analogue-style low-pass filter, with buckets of resonance, and an easy-to-use compressor.

Features:

• Two different distortion types.
• Warm, analogue-modelled resonant low-pass filter.
• High quality, easy-to-use compressor, with 'Phat' mode.
• Powerful 'MIDI Learn' function.
• A collection of Preset patches to get you started.
• Randomize for instant inspiration.
