Soundtoys Effect Rack

Introducing the Effects Rack

Important Note: Effect Rack does not include individual plug-ins, and not all Soundtoys effects are in the Rack - Little AlterBoy, Little Plate, Little PrimalTap, Little MicroShift and Little Radiator are NOT included in the Effect Rack.

Effect Rack is a creative multi-effects system that allows you to create custom effect chains. It’s a single, self-contained plug-in that comes preloaded with 14 full-featured Soundtoys effects that you can use within the Rack including EchoBoy and PrimalTap for delay, Decapitator and Radiator for rich analogue saturation, and powerful rhythmic modulation and filtering from Tremolator and FilterFreak. The power of Effect Rack comes from its global controls. Once you’ve created your perfect combo, use the Recycle knob to create a feedback loop, the global Mix control for parallel processing, or save your effect chain as a preset.

Global Control

The Effect Rack makes it simple to build your own custom effect chains and define your signature sound. And when you’ve created the perfect combination of effects, the Rack’s global controls let you treat the whole rack as a single plug-in.

Lock rhythmic effects to a single tempo, or let them run free. Fine-tune the input and output levels, and use the global mix control to blend your effect in with the dry signal. Then experiment with the powerful new global Recycle control. By mixing the output of the rack back into the input, you can build your own modulated reverbs, over-the-top delays and other unique ambience effects that would require complicated routing to accomplish in most DAWs.

14 World-class Effects Plugins

Saturate, compress, and distort with Decapitator, Radiator, and Devil-Loc. Get a virtual history of echo and delay hardware with EchoBoy and PrimalTap. Recreate classic studio pitch, chorus and widening effects with Crystallizer and MicroShift. Take modulation to new levels with the beat-synced rhythmic effects of PanMan, Tremolator, FilterFreak, and PhaseMistress.

All of these individual elements are proven, powerful tools, trusted by professional mix engineers, musicians and sound designers everywhere. But combined in the Soundtoys Effect Rack, they are indeed the ultimate effects collection.
