ToneKnob TriMod

One Knob, Infinite Modulation

Simple on the Outside, Sophisticated on the Inside

The ToneKnob series is an affordable line of effects designed to be simple to use, with just one knob to twist until you hit your sweet spot. Despite their simplicity, these plugins are sophisticated under the hood, built from the Audified team's experience in emulating high-end studio analog hardware.

What is ToneKnob TriMod?

Audified's lineup of studio effects with simple controls wouldn’t be complete without a modulation effect—and not just any modulation effect. As the name suggests, TriMod combines and seamlessly blends three essential modulation effects into one sophisticated tool.

Inside, you’ll find Flanger, Chorus, and Phaser—but that’s not the mindset behind TriMod! This is a precisely tuned algorithm designed to smoothly transition between the iconic sounds you know from the greatest guitar legends. However, TriMod isn’t just for guitarists. Try it on synths, vocals, or even bass guitar!

The Only Modulator Worth Your Time!

With ToneKnob TriMod, you can easily dial in the sounds that defined not just guitar history but also the tones of the ’70s, iconic ’80s, grungy ’90s, and beyond. Whether you’re looking for the dark chorus of Metallica’s “Welcome Home (Sanitarium)”, Van Halen’s dramatic flanger in “Ain’t Talkin’ ’Bout Love”, or the psychedelic phaser from Pink Floyd’s legendary albums, all these sounds are here—just one knob turn away.

How to dial in TriMod:

• Up to 20% knob level

If you want a subtle modulation with gentle movement, perfect for adding a touch of depth and space to your signal, this is the range where you want to operate.

• 20-40% Knob level

As you turn the knob, the speed and depth of modulation increase, resulting in a fuller sound. Inspiration came from the legendary modulation effects by EHX, transporting you straight to the grunge sound of the ’90s and compelling you to play some of Cobain’s riffs.

• 40-60% Knob level

The Flanger character gradually fades and gives way to a vintage chorus. This range was designed to be rich and lush, filling the space with its vintage shimmer. Here you’ll find all the classic chorus tones, whether it’s Andy Summers, Eddie Van Halen, Tame Impala, or Mike Stern.

• 60% Knob level

Around here, you will enter a full vintage chorus territory – sparkling in the highs and adding depth to chords and single notes alike.

• 60-70% Knob level

The chorus intensifies and transitions into a multi-layered Quad Chorus—rich texture and wide stereo spread.

• 70-80% Knob level

Quad Chorus at its peak, ideal for epic sections like “Is This Love” by Whitesnake or the unmistakable Allan Holdsworth tone—what we see as the pinnacle of modulation.

• 80-90% Knob level

The chorus fades as the phaser takes over. At 90%, it’s a full phaser with traces of chorus—yes, they apparently couldn’t resist, and this instantly reminded the Amplified team of that psychedelic sound from “Shine On You Crazy Diamond” by Pink Floyd.

• 100% Knob level

A wild vintage chorus combined with Quad Chorus and Phaser, creating an intensely rich and thick modulation. This one’s for the bold, giving you a “crazy knob” tone reminiscent of Scofield’s experimental runs.

• 100% Wet Option

The 100% Wet function in plugins means that only the effected sound (modulated signal) goes to the plugin output, while the original, "dry", i.e., your instrument/signal, is completely removed. The 100% Wet function is key in parallel signal processing, where the effected (wet) sound is separated from the original (dry) signal on a separate aux channel. This allows for easy mixing of the clean and effected signals, even for multiple tracks simultaneously.
