Key Features

Why does this thing exist? I don't even know myself

Frequency Shifting

Shift the frequencies of your audio up or down, creating inharmonic spectral content that's perfect for experimental sound design and glitchy textures.

Creative Delay

A versatile delay with timing from 0.1-200ms and a feedback control that can push into self-oscillation for creating wild sonic territories.

3-Band EQ

Sculpt your sound with a simple but effective 3-band equalizer that lets you shape the low, mid, and high frequency content before it hits the effects.

Spectral Gate

A unique spectral gate that processes your audio before it enters the delay, creating amazing textural possibilities and rhythmic effects.

Insanity Random

Click the cat to activate the Insanity Random mode, which introduces controlled chaos into your signal path for unpredictable and exciting sonic results.

LFO Modulation

Choose from different LFO shapes (Envelope, Sine, Square, Noise) to modulate parameters automatically, creating evolving and dynamic sounds over time.
