1. Best free echo VST: Valhalla Freq Echo

The Freq Echo is a frequency shifter with analog echo emulation. My personal favourite.

It adds chorus, phasing and flanger effects. Go ahead and create some wild glissandos and runaway echos.

It’s great for dub and psychedelic effects. Use it for beefing up basslines.

If you’re a fan of electronic music pioneer Delia Derbyshire you’ll love it.

2. Best free fuzz VST: FuzzPlus3

Here’s the updated FuzzPlus distortion VST pedal emulation from Audio Damage.

The central knob is the fuzz distortion. There’s also a Korg MS-20 style low-pass filter. And you can feedback the signal for some extra juice.

Amazing on synths and drums for meaty, distorted effects.

Use the presets or save your own.

Compatible with Mac OS and Windows (VST/VST3/AU 32 and 64-bit).

Download it here.

3. Best free EQ VST: MH Thump

MH Thump adds low end to your track. It recreates that nice thump you get on a vintage TR-808 drum machine.

It’s an audio processor that analyzes an audio input – say your drum track. Then it synthesizes a low frequency signal to add some body.


There are two independent oscillators and many knobs for fine-tuned control.

Go ahead and beef up those beats!

4. Best free bitcrusher VST: Krush

Krush is a very interesting bit crusher VST.

It creates that crunchy digital bit reduction effect. But it can also imitate a warmer analog effect with the drive and resonant filter.

If there can be such a thing: the Krush is a very elegant bit crusher.

The Dry and Wet faders allow you to play with how much of original signal and the effect you want.

The modulations can be free form or synced to a rate of your choice. Save and recall presets easily.

MOD will give you a slightly darker sound.

Compatible with Mac OS and Windows (VST/AU/AAX 32 and 64-bit).

The Pecheneg is a tremolo VST effect. It gives you the power to create rhythmic modulations with your sound.

The Tempo section allows you to play the frequency either by selecting a Note or a Frequency.

Just like when you use LFOs, the Pecheneg Tremolo allows you to change the wave shape.

This effect will improve the groove of your track. It’ll give life to your synth or bassline.

Hi, I don't understand why I can't see Misstorsion in my daw. I put the file in my library but it doesn't work. If you have a suggestion, i use Ableton on Mac.

For some reason version 2.01.0 gives me an error (unable to load the plugin) when trying to open it in FL Studio 20.6 on windows, but 2.00 works like a charm... Do you have any idea what might be the problem?

Yes, you might have to install this: https://aka.ms/vs/16/release/vc_redist.x64.exe

Yep, that helped. Thank you for your time! Great handy little plugin btw!

Yo, Can you please explain what does the mode knob does and LEGACY means. The pre-dist clip filter is a bit tricky for me. Can you please explain?

The mode knobs control the filter slope. 'Legacy' in this case comes from one of the first versions of Misstortion 1, where the only available mode was a 12 dB/octave filter with a low Q value. I kept this specific mode because it was one that Headhunterz used a lot before I released Misstortion 2.

When you check the pre-dist clip filter option, the distortion is applied after the low pass filter (the clip filter) rather than before. This can be useful if you to put a focus on distorting certain lower frequencies without losing clarity in the high end.

Buenas, al final solucioné el problema poniendo un código en la terminal. aquí dejo los detalles por si alguien los necesita

  1. Lo primero será acceder al terminal. Para hacerlo entramos en el DashBoard y en la carpeta Otros encontramos la app Terminal. También podéis buscar en el Spotlight la aplicación, lo que os resulte más sencillo.
  2. Cuando hayáis entrado al terminal, debéis introducir el siguiente comando:

    y pulsáis Enter. Tras esto deberéis introducir vuestra contraseña de inicio de sesión para verificar que sois vosotros. A algunas personas le está dando error el código, debéis de saber que delante de master van dos guiones seguidos (-).

  3. Una vez hecho, ya podréis iros a Preferencias del Sistema > Seguridad y Privacidad y encontraréis la opción de Cualquier sitio descubierta.
  4. Para activar esta opción debéis darle en el candado que encontramos en la esquina inferior izquierda. Tras esto nos pedirá nuestra clave de acceso. Una vez introducida ya podréis seleccionar la opción En cualquier sitio.

Buenas, tengo problemas, mac catalina me dice que proviene de un deasarrollador no identificado y no lo puedo abrir, intento habilitarlo en privacidad y seguridad, pero no lo habilita. Alguna solución. Utilizo Cubase 10.5

I assume this is on Mac? Try this as a temporary workaround: https://itch.io/post/1114702

(It's a known issue caused by some weird Apple-related things.)

Would be possible to add the built-in highshelf post filter wich is avaliable in ClipDist/Distroyer?? Misstortion is a really great plugin!!

Would it be possible to release a Linux build for Misstortion 2? A Windows VST2 build would work as well, but I assume that's probably impossible without releasing the entire thing under the GPL because of Steinberg's licensing weirdness. I've compiled the original GPL'd Misstortion from source a few years ago and I've been using that since. I'd love to give Misstortion 2 a shot. Thanks!

Indeed, I can't release it as a VST2 unfortunately. :( Building as a Linux plugin is a bit difficult as well since I believe I need a fork of Juce in order to build it, which kinda sucks. Might try some day though!

Distortion Vst Free

I’m not sure if anything’s different for Misstortion 2, but I’ve been able to build a Linux VST3 plugin for Misstortion in the past by just selecting the ‘Linux Makefile’ export target in Projucer, saving, and running ‘CONFIG=Release make -j8’ from the ‘Builds/LinuxMakefile’ directory created by JUCE. I don’t know if you already have access to to a Linux machine or VM, but I’m sure compiling through WSL2 would work just fine if you you’d like to give it a shot!

Free Bass Distortion Vst

Oh, it does have a Linux target now! That's new to me. I will play around with this soon, thanks!
