Soundtoys Effect Rack

Effect Rack turns our tried-and-true collection of powerful effects into a creative multi-effects system.

It’s a single, self-contained plug-in that comes preloaded with 14 Soundtoys effects including creative delays, essential saturation effects and rhythmic modulation and filtering tools. These included effects are only for use within the Effect Rack plug-in – if you need to use these effects individually for your workflow or session sharing, Soundtoys 5 is a better option for you.

SuperPlate and SpaceBlender can be added to your Effect Rack. You’ll see these plug-ins in the Rack and hear them in certain presets, but their parameters cannot be changed unless you purchase a SuperPlate license and a SpaceBlender license, and add them to your Effect Rack plug-in. SuperPlate and SpaceBlender are NOT included with your Effect Rack plug-in purchase.

Effect Rack includes Crystallizer, Decapitator, Devil-Loc Deluxe, EchoBoy, EchoBoy Jr., FilterFreak, FilterFreak 2, MicroShift, PanMan, PhaseMistress, PrimalTap, Radiator, Sie-Q, and Tremolator.

Get inspired with hundreds of carefully-crafted presets that let you quickly try out new ideas.

Dive into Effect Rack’s conveniently categorized presets to find the perfect combination of Soundtoys effects for your track. Choose from effect chains tailored to instruments like guitar, vocals and drums. Or explore the Sound Design, Spaces and Modulation categories to try out some left-field sonic ideas that will take you in a completely new direction.

Drag. Drop. Experiment.

Effect Rack makes it easy to experiment with different combinations of effects and discover unique sounds. Because Effect Rack is a self-contained plug-in, you can also easily save a custom effect chain and add it as an insert or send effect in any supported DAW on Mac or PC.

Global controls let you treat your custom rack as a single powerful effect.

Lock rhythmic effects to a single tempo, or let them run free. Fine tune the input and output levels, and use the global mix control to blend your effect with the dry signal. Then experiment with the powerful global Recycle control. By mixing the output of the rack back into the input, you can build your own modulated reverbs, over-the-top delays and other unique ambience effects.
