Live Pedalboard: Your Virtual Guitar Rig by lostin70s
Every guitarist knows how important the right timbre is. From classic rock overdrives to psychedelic delays and atmospheric reverbs – effects shape the unique sound of the instrument. However, assembling a physical pedalboard can be expensive, cumbersome, and difficult to set up. This is where Live Pedalboard by lostin70s comes to the rescue – a powerful and flexible software solution that transforms your digital audio workstation (DAW) into a full-fledged guitar rig with a wide range of effects pedals.
Live Pedalboard is designed as a virtual pedalboard, providing guitarists and musicians with access to classic and modern guitar effects directly in the computer. This plugin combines a variety of pedals, allowing you to experiment with sound without the limitations of physical equipment. Whether you’re looking for tight distortion for riffs, a transparent compressor for clean sound, cosmic delay for solos, or vintage tremolo for atmospheric passages, Live Pedalboard has everything you need.
Wide Range of Effects in Your DAW
Live Pedalboard offers an impressive set of effects, covering all the main categories that a guitarist needs. You get access to:
- Gain effects: Various distortions, overdrives, and fuzzes to create any level of overdrive – from light crunch to aggressive high gain.
- Time-based effects: Delay and echo to add depth and space, as well as reverb to simulate acoustic spaces.
- Dynamic effects: Compressors for leveling dynamics and adding sustain, filters for shaping the timbre.
- Modulation effects: Chorus, flanger, phaser, tremolo, and other effects to create movement and texture in the sound.
This arsenal of effects allows you to create complex and multi-layered guitar timbres, adapting them to any musical style and task.
Flexibility and Customization Options
One of the key advantages of Live Pedalboard is its flexible architecture. The plugin provides:
- 6 effect slots: You can place up to six different effects simultaneously, building your own virtual signal processing chain.
- Up to 3 simultaneous effects of the same type: This unique feature allows, for example, to use two or three different distortions in parallel or in series, opening up new horizons for sound experiments.
- 3 banks of user presets with 10 presets in each: A total of 30 cells for saving your favorite settings and quickly recalling them.
- Global presets: Presets are saved on your hard drive and are available to all plugin instances in your DAW. This ensures consistency of sound between different projects.
The preset system is implemented intuitively: to save, press the “Save Preset” button (the red indicator will light up), and then select the bank and preset number. It is important to remember that saving will overwrite the existing preset in all plugin instances.
Compatibility and Ease of Use
Live Pedalboard is designed for maximum compatibility and ease of integration into your workflow. It supports popular VST and AU plugin formats, making it available to users of most modern DAWs on Windows (32 and 64 bit) and macOS operating systems.
The plugin interface mimics the appearance of a real pedalboard, making it visually familiar and easy to navigate. You can easily drag and drop effects between slots and adjust their parameters, just like on physical pedals.
Conclusion
Live Pedalboard by lostin70s is an excellent choice for guitarists looking for a versatile, flexible, and high-quality solution for processing guitar sound in digital form. Thanks to the wide range of effects, flexible routing options, and a convenient preset system, this plugin will help you find and realize the perfect guitar timbre for your recordings or live performances.
