Looking for a powerful and flexible tool to shape your guitar sound? Want to add rich distortion or a warm, fat fuzz to your tracks? Then the BMBF plugin from EXE Consulting is just what you need!
BMBF: Distortion and Fuzz Pedal Emulator
BMBF is not just another plugin, it’s a real beast in the world of guitar effects. It expertly emulates classic distortion and fuzz pedals, giving you a wide range of possibilities for experimenting with sound. Thanks to its unique architecture, BMBF can transform any clean signal into a roaring, saturated tone, perfect for rock, metal, blues, or experimental music.
The plugin is developed by EXE Consulting, known for its commitment to creating high-quality and functional tools for musicians and sound engineers. BMBF is an excellent proof of this commitment, offering detailed modeling of guitar pedal sounds.
Key Features and Capabilities
What makes BMBF special? Its architecture and flexibility. Let’s take a closer look:
- Multi-stage amplification: The heart of BMBF is its amplification and clipping system. The plugin has an input amplification stage, as well as three additional amplification/clipping stages. This allows not just to add distortion, but also to accurately control the level of saturation and the nature of the overload. You can gradually “pump up” the gain, going from light breakup to extreme fuzz.
- High gain: BMBF is capable of generating very high gain levels. This opens the door to dense, massive riffs and endless sustain for solos. However, be careful with high settings, as excessive gain can cause feedback and high-frequency whistling.
- Usage recommendations: To get the best results and avoid unwanted artifacts, especially when playing in real time, the developers recommend feeding the BMBF output signal into a low-gain amplifier simulator, such as LG2Amp. This will help control the overall volume level and the character of the sound after the overload.
- Pedal emulation: The plugin accurately emulates the behavior and response of physical distortion and fuzz pedals, making it intuitive for guitarists.
Technical Details and Compatibility
Before diving into the world of overloaded sound with BMBF, it is worth knowing about its technical characteristics:
- Plugin format: BMBF is available in VST format. Please note: although changing the .vst3 extension to .dll may allow some hosts to load it as VST2, the developers warn that this may result in incorrect saving and loading of parameter settings in projects. It is recommended to use it as VST3 if your host supports it.
- Operating systems: The plugin is compatible with Windows operating systems, both 32-bit (Win32) and 64-bit (Win64). Users of other operating systems, such as macOS or Linux, will not be able to use BMBF at this time.
Who is this plugin for?
BMBF will be an ideal choice for:
- Guitarists looking for a flexible and powerful distortion or fuzz for their recordings or live performances.
- Music producers who work with guitar sound and need high-quality emulations of classic effects.
- Sound experimenters who want to get extreme and unusual overloads.

Important: Always control the output signal level and gain to avoid clipping or feedback at high levels. Following the recommendations for use with a low-gain amplifier simulator will help you achieve the best result.
