Instant Old School Flavours
Rediscovering Glorious Tones
Do you ever play classic records and think “That. Sounds. GREAT! How do I get that 60s (or 70/80/90s) vibe in my track?” With Finisher RETRO, it’s easy. UJAM's experts have done the hard work and captured the classic reverbs, delays, flangers, tubes, tape hiss and magic for you. Just load RETRO and go!
A Complex Web of Effects
RETRO is so much more than just one effect. Each of its modes is a web of up to 20 interconnected sound modules. It’s like having a huge pedalboard AND rack of studio gear with everything set just right.
- Like Instagram filters for your audio.
- 50 modes presented in decades, from 60-90s.
- 100 individual presets created from the modes.
- FINISHER and VARI knobs for fast, easy tweaking.
60s, 70s, 80s or 90s. You Pick!
Finisher RETRO’s models are presented in decades, from 60s, 70s, 80s or 90s. Each mode is carefully crafted by UJAM's sound designers to give you an authentic snapshot of a great sound from that decade.
Tweak-o-Rama
Don’t worry, you’re never stuck with RETRO’s presets. The FINISHER and VARI knobs let you easily push each preset in different directions from “light and subtle hint” to “laying it on real thick!”
Features
- Super-Simple User Interface: Create your music without overthinking! Pick any inspiring preset and get to work instantly.

Reviews Summary
While it aims to provide a helpful overview, it may not capture every perspective or detail. We encourage you to read individual reviews to make an informed decision.
UJAM Finisher Retro receives predominantly positive feedback as an inspiring, easy-to-use multi-effects plugin that quickly injects vintage warmth, nostalgic character, and atmospheric lo-fi textures into tracks. Users appreciate its fast workflow, high-quality decade-based presets (1960s–1990s), and ability to transform guitars, synths, and drums with minimal effort, often comparing it to an 'Instagram filter for audio.' However, some reviewers note that it is not designed for deep parameter tweaking, a few find the presets heavy-handed or somewhat generic, and one user reported high CPU usage. Overall, it is highly recommended for producers prioritizing speed, simplicity, and instant creative inspiration over surgical sound design.
