A collection of five excellent effect devices.

Top | Effects | Features | Purchase | Examples | User Comments

Z Tapper
Stereo four tap delay with individual tap feedback, damp, pan, and pan modulation. MIDI syncable LFO for pan modulation. Create melodic grooves, or surprisingly effective reverbs! Awesome and addicting.
Z Rings
Dual ring modulator with fully selectable MIDI-syncable LFO. Add bizarre and beautiful (or brash and blaring) effects to any sound.
Z Driver
Stereo overdrive with gain, drive, tone and volume knobs. Add warmth, crunch, or scream!


Z Tremor
Stereo, MIDI controllable tremelo. Selectable trem shape: sine (surf!), square, saw, reverse saw, and random. Modulation can also be applied to pan for big rotating sounds, and is MIDI-syncable. A hyper mode allows high frequency modulation for AM effects.
Zeequeue
Stereo 4 band parametric EQ with adjustable frequency, Q and gain, per band. Familiar graphical EQ interface.

User comments:

I'd like to commend you on the Z Driver, it sounds excellent, much better than I'd thought pulsar could. I like the hyper button on the Z Tremor, fun stuff. I really got the bundle for the insert-able tap delay & ring mod, either one of these or the driver are worth the price of admission alone!
