Animal Factory Dirty Mirror × Korg Monologue // Fuzz Synth Jam (No Talking)
video upload by Animal Factory Amplification
"Use headphones for this one! Animal Factory Dirty Mirror dual parallel fuzz pedal running a Korg Monologue analog synth — no talking, no post-processing, just raw tone. This was recorded in one take to bring out how the Dirty Mirror becomes an instrument in itself.
A love letter to shoegaze, noise, and harsh textures, the Dirty Mirror pairs a modified Shin-Ei Superfuzz (the "Burn" channel) with a heavily modded Big Muff Pi (the "Churn" channel), plus a pre-fuzz delay modulated by an internal LFO and envelope follower. Hand-built in Mumbai by Animal Factory Amplification and debuted at Superbooth 2025.
Here it's sculpting the Korg Monologue's aggressive analog voice into fuzzscapes, drones, seasick vibrato, and pitch-shifted square-wave chaos. Recorded dry — no EQ, no reverb, nothing but the pedal and the synth. Drums from an MFB Tanzmaus (not processed)

Animal Factory Dirty Mirror Fuzz on MFB Tanzmaus | Dual Distortion Delay Jam
video upload by Animal Factory Amplification
"Use headphones or speakers with good bass! Dual fuzz chaos meets beat-driven synthesis! Watch the Animal Factory Dirty Mirror transform the MFB Tanzmaus drum machine with creative distortion and delay manipulation. This is pure experimentation—no tutorial, just sonic exploration.
Gear featured:
Animal Factory Dirty Mirror Dual Fuzz Pedal
MFB Tanzmaus Drum Machine
Not just a shoegaze and noise rock machine - the Dirty Mirror is the perfect fuzz for musicians exploring wall-of-fuzz sounds, experimental synthesis, drum machine effects processing, and unconventional gear combinations."
"The Dirty Mirror takes these two behemoths of sonic perversion and adds an extra layer of nasty – using the core circuit of our Coma Reactor Eurorack module.
This three footswitch, 15 knob pedal looks complicated – but it’s not:
The BURN Channel (left side) is based on our Chemical Burn circuit, a nastier FY-6 variant.
The CHURN channel (right side) is based on a heavily modded Big Muff Pi.
There is a short delay circuit before the fuzz circuits.
Both the fuzz circuits can switch between the input sound, 100% wet delayed sound or a blend of wet and dry.
The fuzz circuits are then mixed in parallel into a high-headroom output section.
For added sickness, the delay time can be modified by an envelope follower or LFO.
Choose your filthy reflection – from straight dual parallel fuzz textures, to seasick vibrato to long slow quasi-chorus phasey apocalyptica.
The delay can be used on its own for slapback, chorus and vibrato effects.
Yes, it can get very noisy.
No, you can’t do anything about it - so weep in pain and pleasure, and submit to the swarms of square waves that joyfully fill your room."

LIQUID SKY d-vices Introduces the SMUDGETIZER PRO
video uploads by liquid sky artistcollective & liquid sky d-vices
Update: videos added above.

Details:
"LIQUID SKY d-vices SMUDGETIZER PRO
2 bit bitcrusher desktop multi FX
at this year’s SynthFest France,
the Liquid Sky artistcollective from Santana dada Serra, Portugal
launches the first chapter of a new experimental desktop multi fx series
built in the beloved zen delay format.
all units are handcrafted in Santana dada Serra and designed to connect worlds:
cv / gate inputs meet midi clock–syncable modulations - engineered for maximum audio wreckage.
this is not about polite breadnbutter effects:
our d-vices are sonic troublemakers for bad ass artists, noiseheads and
experimental sound labs.
the series begins with the SMUDGETIZER PRO 2bit bitcrusher —
a beautifully destructive stereo machine with integrated lfos,
ready to bend, fkk up, break, and reassemble your sound into something floor-shakingly new and evil.
developed by Thilo Goldschmitz,
it works with pretty much anything you throw at it:
guitars, bass, drums and drum machines, synths, voices,
worldreceivers and of course… noise.
starting today, the pedal is available for PREORDER at:
https://liquidskyeurope.com/products/liquid-sky-d-vices-smudgetizer-pro-pedal
a eurorack version is coming too: 40 hp wide.
yes, we know that’s a lot of rack space.
yes, it’s intentionally big. we love instruments you can actually play.
no, we’re not making a smaller version.
and yes, we’re friends… but you don’t have to remind us every five minutes that it’s a lot of rack space.
<3 :)
the eurorack edition will be available in autumn.
price for the pedal: 299 eur plus vat plus shipping."

Playing with Parting - Old Blood Noise Endeavors & Emily Hopkins
video upload by Molten Music Technology
"Running a simple bass line through the stunning Parting glitch/ambient machine and exploring the sounds. It's a very touchy feely pedal that's wasted on guitarists and really should be a Eurorack module. Full review coming soon from a synth perspective.
I bought this pedal myself."


"Parting is a box of pleasant surprises. Moments of chance will give bursts of a glitch delay that can smear into a reverb, modulated by tremolo or vibrato, filtered, and, most importantly, dissolved into lofi aliasing or stretched out reverse. All of this may jump around in halves and octaves of itself - it’s up to you and Parting, together.
Controls
Dissolve has two functions. Below noon, it reduces sample rate, creating an increasingly degraded version of the signal. Above noon, it reverses the signal, and repeatedly cuts the reverse clock in half as the knob is turned, creating an increasingly long and degraded reverse.
Rate sets the rate of the modulation LFO, which is also the frequency of triggers for moments of chance.
Depth sets the depth of the LFO.
Shape sets the LFO shape: Sine, Square, Reverse Saw, Saw, Random Sine, Random Square, Envelope
Chance allows random bits of signal to enter the delay/reverb buffer during an LFO cycle.
Smear adds diffusion and feedback to the delay lines, turning them into a lush reverb as the knob is turned up.
Glitch creates various clock subdivisions.
Time sets the timing of the delay/reverb, as well as the reverse.
Filter sets the cutoff point of the post-dissolve filter.
Mix sets the blend of dry and wet signal.
Aux switch for tap tempo, half speed, or preset switching.
Soft-touch On/Off footswitch with relay switching for minimal switch noise"

Making Rythms from Feedback with the Zakal from Colossus Audio and the Metal Fetishist
video upload by Body Synths
"The "pairing series" is back! In this one we explore the Zakal, a spring reverb / feedback device from Colossus Audio. We start by using the Metal Fetishist as a sound source but quickly flip the tables and use it as a sound processor instead, making Rythms with the feedback tones that come through its input from the Zakal.
The background noise you may hear comes from my microphone, not from the instruments. I will be more careful next time.
https://bodysynths.com/ | https://www.colossusaudio.com/"
"Zakal is a resonant audio feedback instrument. It generates feedback using reverb springs, with the feedback signal shaped by a low-pass filter and a delay in the feedback path or simple feedback. Additionally, Zakal can function as a spring reverb effect, offering versatile sonic possibilities.
Zakal contains amplification and recovery circuits designed to generate audio feedback through its reverb springs.
A switch allows you to engage the LPF and Delay within the feedback path, enabling creative control over the frequencies fed back into the spring reverb, shaping unique resonant textures.
When used as a spring reverb effects unit, the POST EQ provides precise shaping of the wet signal, offering enhanced tonal flexibility.
At the end of the chain, a 3-band EQ provides additional shaping of the output, offering precise control over the final sound. When used as a spring reverb effects unit, the EQ enhances the wet signal for even greater tonal versatility.
ZAKAL does not include a power supply. It operates on a standard 9V DC (negative center, 2.1mm barrel plug) compatible with most guitar pedal power supplies. If you do not own one feel free to reach out, and I’ll help you find a suitable option."

REVNET algorithmic reverb
video upload by sonicLAB
"sonicLAB REVNET is an algorithmic reverb with uncompromising sonic quality."
"WHY ANOTHER REVERB ?
There are already hundreds of reverb plugins on the market. The question is, why do you need another one?
Because sonicLAB offers a unique approach to defining control and modulation across multi-scale elements—from sound processors to MIDI event generators—delivering uncompromising sonic quality.
We are happy to introduce REVNet, a complex algorithmic reverberation and spatial sound design instrument. Rather than simply emulating traditional plates or rooms, REVNet is designed to create unique reverberations. By combining dynamic feedback topologies, stochastic modulation, and pitch-tracked harmonic resonance, REVNet operates as much as a synthesizer as it does a spatial effect.
REVNet is for uncompromising sound design. Crucially, unlike static reverb algorithms, REVNet allows you to manipulate its internal reflection network on the fly."

Introducing BLEASS Peaks: The Playable Polyphonic Filter Is Here (MIDI Performance Revolution)
video upload by BLEASS
"Meet BLEASS Peaks, a new generation audio filter that turns traditional filtering into a fully playable performance instrument.
➡️ In Internal mode, you can shape the sound using up to 32 resonant peaks/notches.
➡️ In MIDI mode, the plug-in becomes a playable polyphonic filter, where MIDI notes control the filter frequency. You can run up to 8 filter voices at the same time.
This lets you play filter movement using MIDI notes or chords, shaping drum loops and synths in real time. You can create evolving filter patterns, rhythmic effects, and perform filtering like a musical instrument.
🎨 Additional tools include 5 FX slots (distortion, delay, compression, bitcrush, and filters), plus LFOs, envelopes, and macros.
Discover its full features right now: http://bleass.com/peaks/"
BLEASS Peaks unites classic audio filtering with the spontaneous spirit of performance to deliver an entirely new class of creative filtering effects.
The plugin is built around BLEASS’ advanced multi-peak polyphonic filter design. When set to Internal control mode, this creates a single bell-filter curve containing up to 32 resonant peaks/notches. Details of the filter curve, such as the quantity, root frequency, and spread of the peaks/notches, are set parametrically, making it easy to shape the filter’s response and bring it to life via the plugin’s synth-style modulation sources.
BLEASS Peaks truly comes into its own when operating in MIDI mode. In this configuration, the filter’s root frequency is controlled via MIDI coming from live-played notes or a recorded track. Better still, BLEASS Peaks can generate up to eight such filters simultaneously, making this a true polyphonic filter.
MIDI control makes the filter fully playable and performable, opening up a whole new constellation of original and compelling filtering effects. Drum loops can be tuned to follow chord progressions, rhythmic harmonic pulses can be added to pads, arpeggios can be brought to life with complex frequency-shifting chorus effects… the creative possibilities are endless.
Additional colour and detail can be added to Peaks’ filtering via a set of five assignable Effects slots. These allow you to enhance the filtered sound with distortions, dynamics processors, delay, and even conventional low- and high-pass filters.
As with the filter itself, Peaks’ effects can be brought to life by the plugin’s various modulation sources, with each modulator mappable to up to four destination parameters. There are three LFOs, three envelopes triggered by the incoming audio plus a fourth triggered via MIDI, and four Macro controls. Alongside these internal modulators, the plugin also recognises various realtime MIDI CC and MPE sources.
Used as a conventional single-voice filter, BLEASS Peaks is at the top of its game, allowing easy-yet-deep control over the spectrum of your audio, and offering many ways to inject life and movement into the effect. Enabling MIDI control makes that advanced filter behave as a playable instrument, unshackling you from the limitations of conventional filtering and giving you direct hands-on control over the effect.
However you choose to use it, BLEASS Peaks is a uniquely creative, intuitive and fun tool for shaping, colouring, and injecting originality into your music.

spectral pressure chamber - a thermo-dynamic simulation as a multi band compressor - au/vst for mac
video upload by copenhagennoiselab
"This is the first demo of the Spectral Pressure Chamber - a multi band compressor, that uses a thermo dynamic simulation as the analysis layer. A spectral analysis of the incoming audio splits it into energy for three chambers. The energy leaks. The chambers get over saturized with pressure. The stiffness of the walls decreases. The entropy increases.
While being able to work like a regular multiband compressor, it doesn't always act in the same controlled way. Sometimes it is sweet, sometimes it is full of artifacts. And it is insanely relaxing to watch the simulation visualized in the plugin in realtime.
It will be available at unusable.ai sometime in mid-april."

video upload by DATABROTH
"Read my full review here: https://www.databroth.com/blog/teuri-...
00:00 Pads
01:03 Kicks
03:24 Noise
video uploads by Lese Audio Technologies
Teuri is for Distortion Morphing.
Teuri’s “Cellular Distortion” system puts multiple distortion models at different points on an XY pad and lets you live in the tension between them. Drag through the grid and blend through textures that were never meant to coexist. ragged fuzz bleeding into clinical overdrive, soft saturation collapsing into bitcrush.
No snapping, no quantizing, just continuous, organic layers of deterioration.
Since the different models can produce sound at different levels, Teuri internally handles these differences to give you a smooth morphing experience.
Highlights
Model Selection
Teuri comes with a broad palette of distortion characters; from analog circuit models to experimental processes that have no hardware counterpart.
Whether you’re reaching for the warmth of a pushed tube stage, the grind of a germanium fuzz distortion, or something that treats your audio less like a signal and more like a material to be torn apart, Teuri’s model selection is built to cover the full range of what distortion can mean.
Distortion Cells
Different distortion models are added on an XY pad, and the internal “Positional Blending” system handles smooth blending between them, regardless of model. The “blender” also attempts to balance between the gain differences that the models have in real-time.
Modulate More
Teuri has a modulation system, similar to the one in Glow and Smear. Offering up to four modulators which can be optionally synchronized to the DAW’s BPM & retriggered by the DAW’s playback state.

JMT SYNTH / SRV-1b
video upload by beatsville store
https://beatsville.jp

A desktop spring reverb unit featuring a built-in miniature spring.
You can use its high-quality, authentic spring to achieve a beautiful, classic reverb—or you can dive headfirst into the lush, vibrant resonance of a wildly oscillating spring, letting yourself drift and drown in its saturated wetness. It gets absolutely drenched.
And while nobody explicitly told you to shake it, smack it around, or slam it against the table... well, naturally, you’re going to do it. After all, there’s a real spring inside that actually shakes! It’s the thrill of the authentic.
Mix the clean-boosted signal (GAIN) with the spring-reverb-processed signal (REVERB), then adjust the overall output volume using the LEVEL control.
When the switch is in the down position, the signal bypasses the effect, passing directly from IN to OUT. The LED illuminates when the effect is active.
*Powered by a DC 9V power adapter (center-negative / Tip = -); sold separately.

via Temecula DSP
DEEP/4 is a painstaking recreation of one of the most powerful multi-effects processors ever built. Every algorithm has been rebuilt at the instruction level from the original 24-bit DSP hardware, preserving the exact digital character of the algorithms that made these units legendary in studios worldwide.
All 43 original algorithms, mathematically verified against the original DSP architecture. No guesswork.
Features
Four Independent Effects Engines
The DEEP/4 is a powerhouse multi-effects processor featuring 43 fully programmable, high-fidelity algorithms including reverbs, chorus, flanging, delays, distortion, and pitch shifting. Operate it as a single massive effects system, a pair of stereo processors, or four entirely independent units. Its advanced routing matrix supports true serial, parallel, and feedback configurations to sculpt complex effect topologies that conventional units simply can't touch.
Flexible Multi-Unit Routing
Run all four units in series for massive effect chains, split them into parallel paths for layered textures, or use feedback routing to create evolving, self-modulating soundscapes. DEEP/4 provides independent routing control for each pair (A/B and C/D) plus a main bus link — supporting serial, parallel, and two feedback configurations with adjustable feedback amount. Use it as a single 4-unit processor, two independent stereo pairs, or four standalone effects.

"Introducing the One-Bit Delay plugin - a VST/AU inspired by the one-bit sampling delay circuits from the 90's. it is my love letter to the classic delay chips like the PT2399 and M50195P.
this plugin uses a one-bit stream at its core. like the classic chips, this plugin uses delta-sigma modulation to manage noise above the audio band (though the plugin has a configurable sample rate to change the noise level!). also the One-Bit Delay plugin has demodulation filters tuned to the PT2399, and the harmonic distortion is modeled and closely follows the change in resistance applied to the internal oscillator (like the PT2399).
thank you all who continue to support me, I'm truly grateful - your support is allowing me to continue to crystalize musical artifacts."

A COMPACT ANALOG COMPRESSOR
Messor is a fully analog stereo feed-forward VCA compressor designed for studio, modular, and live systems. The architecture is derived from the original Cosmotronic eurorack module, with extended headroom, improved channel matching, and a revised sidechain topology optimized for wide dynamic ranges.
HIGH HEADROOM
The internal ±12 V regulated power rail provides substantial headroom and consistent operating conditions for both line-level and modular-level sources. It reliably handles high-transient material from synthesizers, drum machines, and percussion-heavy sources without premature clipping. High-impedance inputs and balanced outputs simplify interfacing with modular systems, samplers, and balanced studio equipment.
Signal flow begins with a low-noise stereo preamplifier offering up to 18 dB of gain, followed by a pair of matched VCA control blocks. The feed-forward topology provides predictable transient behavior, accurate envelope shaping, and stable stereo imaging. A post-VCA conditioning stage adds tube-like saturation, introducing controlled harmonic content when driven into overload.

"The psychedelic The 3FX
After sculpting sound in space with The 3B, The 3FX explores the creation of sound spaces capable of transcending all your instruments.
ARCHITECTURE
The heart of The 3FX is built around three fully independent effect voices, each based on a coherent 8-module architecture:
Two delays per voice, usable in series or in parallel
An advanced, progressive feedback path up to controlled self-oscillation
An analog 12 dB/octave multimode VCF (BP, LP, HP) to optionally process the audio spectrum, both on the delay lines and on the dry signal
Independent levels for the dry signal and each delay line
A panorama control to position the voice within the stereo field.
The stereo input signal is distributed across the three voices: left / left + right / right. A mono signal is distributed across all three voices.
Each voice can be used alone, stacked or combined with the others to create textures impossible to achieve with a conventional delay.
