Mokafix Audio has announced the release of six new distortion VST effect plug-ins for Windows. Demos are available to download. The plug-ins cost €9 individually or can be purchased as bundles at a discounted price.

The plug-ins cover a range of vintage distortion and overdrive tones - they are based on hardware effects schematics and feature all the steps of the original circuits (DC filtering, gain stages, clippers, tone filtering). They have all been fine-tuned using specific analysis of the hardware units to further match the tone and dynamic response of the real stompboxes and guarantee a faithful reproduction of the original stompboxes tones and behaviour. Each effect features oversampling to sound and feel as close as possible to analogue effects.

The Plug-ins:

• Cream Tube emulates the famous "green" overdrive. It provides a smooth distortion suitable for blues or rock.
• Lamp Driver emulates a tube based overdrive pedal. It provides a smooth distortion and features two Tone stack modes.
• Baboon emulates a rare vintage Fuzz / Treble Booster. The fuzz channel provides a heavy sustain, and two tone modes let you switch between a full fuzz sound and a scooped mid range tone.
• Sen'tor emulates a vintage overdrive. It provides a warm distortion and features an advanced EQ to let you sculpt the tone and adapt it to many situations.
• D-Plus & D-380 emulate two versions of a famous distortion circuit. Featuring one simple gain knob, they give a raw "in your face" distortion sound.
• The Bat emulates a vintage distortion used in countless recordings. With straightforward controls, it delivers a characteristic distortion tone that made it popular in rock and punk music.
