GreenEugene is a saturation filter and distortion plug. When used gentle without the drive function it can be useful on a full track to achieve some added color and dynamic changes to the mix. When the push knob is dialed in GreenEugene is becoming a distortion effect more useful on stuff like guitars or single instruments. A plug that fits in many places when used right.

GreenEugene version 0.4

Features:

Saturation- Dry/Wet mix knob.

Push- A push in amplitude multiplier to get heavy distortion.

Ctrl+Left mouse click to default knobs.

Format: VST for Windows

I would like to get feedback on how you like/ dislike the saturation primary without the Push * drive knob dialled in. The Push * drive knob is a bonus for overdrive freaks and eventually to push up a low levelled signal.

Please, please... not all at once. I do not have the time to read all the post

Just saw your plugs-- I'll give 'em a go on a new song I'm working on and let you know what I think. Thanks for these!

I tried it, I would call it an overdrive as opposed to saturation, it can saturate with the lighter stages but at the level I would actually use a saturation at, it's clearly gritty like an overdrive.

Thank you for testing.

I mention in the description that when you dial in the drive it becomes a distortion/overdrive effect. But do you mean that it distorts the sound to much with just the dry/wet knob dialed in? Im working on tweaks to make it sound sparkling with a nice color to it on the plain saturation side. I'm so early in the design of this plug so not all updates are going to be announced. But I uploaded a minor update a moment ago.

i fully agree! Even if i agree with RunBeerRun that the sound this plug produce is more like an overdrive than a saturation, it's different from any other drive-tool for this particular use, preserve very very well the low-end and at the same time give to the bass that "inyourface" rock bass sound: adjusted the two knobs to give a very very light "saturation" (both on 9 o'clock) i prefer GreenEugene to Voxengo Tube Amp, BootsyMKII drive and TLS saturated drive for this use.
Thanks audioteknikk!
...think i'll try this on guitars to...

Thank you for the nice feedback. I have just uploaded an update that is more subtle on the saturation side. The whole sound is a little different now. But I believe it is to the better. Please let me know what you think. If you really like the previous version. Remember not to overwrite it

I have now added a couple of audio-demos for GE on my website. You find them with the plug. Please don't hate me for playing guitar and bass so badly

But at least you hear what the plug is about.

Oh boy, I tried this on a full techno mix, drive at 0 and saturation at 20%. NICE!!! It just adds that little warmth that was missing. Very subtle

Just updated the plug to version 0.6beta.
Improvements in sound and character.
Plus a tiny change in the text on the GUI.

In fact the first one (v0.4) is still on my bass gtr track, I'm perfectly happy with that one. But I will try the new version for sure. Thanks!

Thanks! Nice to hear

The idea is the plug shall be useful both as a soft saturation effect and as a overdrive/ distortion when driven hard. And I want to make it sound as analogue as possible. It also affects tone and dynamics in the time domain.

I really need some feedback from people to know if I am on the right track here.
