Drive in my head

Drive in my head is a free physically modeled op-amp line-stage plugin designed to add subtle analog weight, bandwidth character, soft asymmetry, and hardware-like movement to clean digital sources.

Rather than using a simple static saturation curve, the plugin models amplifier behavior through circuit-oriented processing, including nonlinear feedback, bandwidth limitations, rail clipping, saturation recovery, and topology-dependent coloration.

It includes 15 op-amp characters and 5 coupling capacitor types, allowing the user to combine amplifier and capacitor behavior to create a wide range of subtle analog textures.

Features:

• 15 op-amp characters
• 5 coupling capacitor types
• WDF-based circuit-oriented modeling
• Analog Mode for subtle rail ripple and input offset drift
• 2X mode for passing the signal through two linked stages
• VST3 and standalone formats
• Windows and macOS support
• Free.

Drive in my head is intended for virtual instruments, synths, sample-based drums, and other digital sources that can benefit from the subtle character of an analog amplification stage without obvious distortion.
