BBE Sound has announced the release of two new software packages: the Sonic Sweet and Stomp Ware plug-in suites. All plug-ins are available for Windows (XP, Vista & 7) and Mac OS X 10.4+ (Intel & PPC) in VST, AU and RTAS effect plug-in formats.

Developed in collaboration with Nomad Factory, the Sonic Sweet plug-in suite consists of three easy-to-use plug-ins useful for every facet of digital audio production:

• D82 Sonic Maximizer: Heralded as the 'magic black box', the D82 Sonic Maximizer naturally restores clarity and depth to any instrument's sound.
• H82 Harmonic Maximizer: Multi-band enhancer/harmonics generator for adding emphasis to frequencies; from low-end punch to top-end sizzle.
• L82 Loudness Maximizer: A simple yet effective mastering/dynamics limiter that fattens up tracks for a polished and professional finish.

The MSRP is $149 and is available now. If you already own the D82 Sonic Maximizer V2, you can upgrade to the BBE Sonic Sweet for $50.00.

The Stomp Ware plug-in suite is a digital toolbox consisting of eight plugins modeled from BBE's own line of boutique analog stomp boxes:

• Free Fuzz: '70s fuzz.
• Green Screamer: Vintage overdrive.
• Mind Bender: Vibrato/chorus.
• Opto Stomp: Optical compressor.
• Sonic Stomp: Sonic Maximizer.
• Soul Vibe: '60s rotary speaker simulator.
• Tremor: Vintage tremolo.
• Two Timer: Analog delay.

The MSRP is $215 and is available now.
