homemade noize

I found these free plugins from BTE Audio. It was a complete accident one of those serendipitous search events on the Internet. Anyway I downloaded them and tried them out just a little. The are pretty good. I am not sure the world needs another Tube Screamer clone digital or otherwise but the TS Secret sounds like a overdrive pedal alright. I compared to the Simulanalog TS clone and it was pretty similar. The Secret sounds a little more “alive” maybe be dependant on the sound going in but it has a gui witch gives it an edge.

I liked Juicy77 best. I got some good sounds from it immediately. It is simple yet versatile. My kind of thing. It has the controls to give you tweakability but doesn’t go overboard. Despite being referred as a high gain amp don’t think of it only as this on goes to 11 kind of thing. Good clean sounds are there also. I am assuming it is based on the Gibson Vanguard GA-77 which had a high gain channel (lead button on the plugin.) I am not sure how closely it modeled on the GA-77 spec but even if you are not familiar with the GA-77 you might be with a Vox AC30. The high gain channel on the GA-77 is the same circuit as the brilliance channel on a AC30. How much the same read this. The speaker simulations are good but I like the fact you can turn them off. Nice detail. All around pretty cool.
