Ready to push the boundaries of sound? Grep by Shuttleplug is not just a plugin; it’s a true audio destruction machine and fuzz unit, designed to radically transform your audio signals. It will add aggression, unique character, and unpredictability to any sound source.
Grep is ideal for musicians and sound engineers looking for new textures for electronic music, industrial, noise, and experimental genres. It will perform perfectly when processing guitars, basses, synthesizers, or even vocals, transforming them into something completely new.
The Heart of the Effect: Stereo Waveshapers
The core element of Grep is powerful stereo waveshapers. They allow for deep modification of the signal’s waveform, creating various distortion effects, from light saturation to extreme clipping. When used on a mono track, one waveshaper works. The peculiarity of stereo processing can lead to changes in the stereo image, which is corrected by a convenient balance control in the master section of the plugin.
Chaos Modules
- CLATTER: Adds clicks and percussive noise. The slider adjusts the mix and modulation of the effect.
- SPLATTER: “Splashes” the sound, creating effects of granulation or digital sand. The amount is controlled by the slider.
- KLONG: Straightens the signal, adding harsh, metallic tones. The “splut” button adds additional distortion.
- SPUTTER: Creates a stuttering or gating effect. The slider adjusts the intensity.
Filtering
The built-in filter with Frequency (F) and Resonance (Q) controls allows shaping the spectrum of the processed signal, completing the process of creating a unique timbre.
