New multi-effect by Brainworx

https://www.plugin-alliance.com/products/bx_tonebox

Looks pretty nice and it's cheap. The one thing I can't tell from the webpage is whether or not you can use multiple instances of each module.

Features
- Modular creative multi-effect for tone, vibe, and movement
- Build custom FX racks with six reorderable modules: Drive, Circuit, Drift, Comp, Noise, Filter
- Mid/side processing available in every module
- Global Scale control to dial overall intensity in seconds
- Global Movement control for controlled unpredictability
- Designed for fast inspiration and nuanced results without complex plugin chains
- More flexible than classic lo-fi tools, and more musical than destructive FX
- uilt from the ground up with celebrated Brainworx tone-shaping know-how

Reminds me of Xfer Serum FX.

I see they are updating their plugins, but nothing useful so far. Many plugins are still not resizable. Townhouse is still crackling at some treshold settings.

How do you get Townhouse to crackle? I've used it for years now on the mixbus and to slam drum rooms and I never experienced any crackles.

Not too bad for 12.99 with 25 voucher.

Yes all modules can be used mutiple times in the rack.

Good to know!

I actually bought this earlier today but haven’t had a chance to install or try it yet.

I remember, that was so annoying, they still haven't fixed it? You always got some extra noise with Townhouse.

Brainworx don't care about fixing their plugins. They prefer to pump out new ones instead.

True.

The open-ended configurability of the fx slots and particularly the MS capabilities make this pretty attractive.

Can you be more specific? I'm really interested in this because I never got any noise or crackles with Townhouse. Do you use the VST3 version? Which DAW?

Sorry don't have it any more, re-sold it some years ago because of that behavior.

All my Brainworx plugins are starting to get updates. I got excited for a second. Unfortunately, if you go to the Changelog, the only updates are (1) deprecating macOS to 14 or higher and (2) added spyware/use tracking.

What DAWs do you have? If FL-Studio, Cubase 15, then I can send you the test project.
