The ultimate is Melda’s MXXX. You can get MXXX Core for free, I believe, which just includes his free effects, but as you buy his effects, they become useable in MXXX, and they’re always on sale. I waited for a Black Friday deal and I think I got the full deal for $350 and it’s amazing. A modular effects powerhouse.
Also good is Reaktor’s Molekular. Very fun for out-there effect chains.
Kind of a crappy UI (come on PSP, it’s time to update your UIs) but great sounding is PSP’s NO2.
Don’t forget that Guitar Rig’s weakest point is it’s guitar amp emulations, and it is also a modular effects processor. Highly recommended. You can use Amplitube too, but it’s not nearly as user friendly, especially if you’re looking to do a stereo signal.

That one was something I missed entirely. Reminds me a bit of the crazier effects in Kore. Cool stuff. Thanks!kvotchin wrote: Fri Mar 04, 2022 7:55 am Based on the OP, maybe HY-MBMFX2? If you like the idea of multiband processing too, that is.

Damn... GR is a truly solid suggestion. Especially when pairing it with their convolution reverb. Totally forgot about GRFapFilter wrote: Fri Mar 04, 2022 8:32 am Depends on your goals.
“Best in sound quality“ with TONS of great effects, from high quality reverbs, compressors, delays, filters, saturation… that could (and can) stand their own at the top of the game as stand alone plugins, to dj effects - plus great internal modulators, would be Guitar Rig 6 for me.
But i also really like Zebrify that comes with Zebra.
And then there's of course the FSU-category (not that the aforementioned couldn't do this well too)

Another vote for Zebrify! Another plugin I have and never opened. Sounds truly great from a sound design perspective. Thanks!noiseresearch wrote: Fri Mar 04, 2022 11:55 am Mulit effects are a tough topic IMO. Hard to find a good product because of the wide range of application and one dev is rarely able to deliver a good tool box. I always loved PSP Audioware N2O but it's outdated as hell and with a tiny gui (but I hope for a 2022 make-up). BYOME and TRIAD by Unfiltered Audio may worth a try. I found those in the end too convoluted and not always sounding pleasant – I sold them. The only multi-fx which is still in use since ten years or so is the aforementioned Zebrify. All effects are at least decent some are superb (like XMF Filter, New Reverb, Wavefolder). FM and RM modulation. A lot of things can be done in an unusual way. Lot of modulators. Pitch and peak follower. Controllable via MIDI. Compressor and EQ as well. Hence Zebrify has (four) oscillators as well you can use it as a monophonic drone machine too. Plus: you get a great synthesizer on top of that![]()

Yeah Melda are doing cool stuff. Not a big fan of their UIs though - but they are serviceable and do their job. MXXX always looked so damn daunting though.

Lots of people are swearing by the Tantra - and I've been close getting it many times. In your opinion what's so special about it?

Not too long ago, I noticed some hype about Waves' Retro Fi. It was being touted as the RC 20 killer as it contained reverb, vinyl and cassette tones, reverbs, textures and devices. They're both popular for signal degradation in creative ways.
If you can't dazzle 'em with brilliance, baffle 'em with bullshit.

on the creative side, that one from Audiothing with verb/ring mod/freeze is nice.
