Sonoma Wire Works has released Sonoma 7, a multi-effect VST plug-in for Windows which includes auto-wah, multiband compression, modulation, delay, reverb, and parametric EQ. Each effect can be enabled or disabled separately, and by using a single window, screen clutter is minimized.

These seven effects can also be found in the RiffWorks recording software available with Line 6 GuitarPort RiffTracker.

The seven effects are:

Attaq is an Auto-wah filter effect. With Manual, Envelope or Sequence modes you can create wah effects from subtle to wild based on picking strength or a pattern.

Tripwire is a three-band compressor and distortion that can be used for everything from traditional low-mid-high EQ to advanced frequency dependent compression and expansion, to insane pitch shifted distortion.

Tempest is eight modulation effects in one unit. With selectable wave shapes and full control over range, depth and tempo-syncable speed, it's extremely flexible without being overly complex.

4X4 is more than your average multi-tap delay. It actually uses 4 discreet delay lines with separate control over tempo-syncable delay time. With the adjustable feedback damping, you go from warm tape-echo sounds to bright digital delay sparkle.

Supertanker allows you to select the reverb type and adjust the size and damping.

Stamina is an optical style compressor that is perfect for tightening up a performance or getting radical pumping effects.

No Equal has traditional British EQ controls that are great for dialing in silky smooth frequency changes without harsh peaky artifacts.

The MSRP for Sonoma 7 is US$199 but it is currently available for the reduced price of US$149 until December 31st, 2004. A demo version is available.
