Experiverb, Usynth Drive, Proteus: Free plug-ins of the week · Source: Ujam, Gearnews
Experiverb by Audiomodern is a very cool shape-based reverb that’s only available for a limited time, so you’ll need to be quick! This week’s collection of the best free plugins also features Ujam Usynth Drive, a software synth for some banging house tracks, and Proteus, a neat utility that allows you to capture the knobs of your guitar amps or pedals. Enjoy!
Looking for a reverb that ventures a little bit off the beaten path? Don’t miss Experiverb by Audiomodern! The algorithmic reverb is based on various unique and complex shapes. Experiment with the shapes until you find one that matches the sound you have in mind, and then drag it up and down to adjust the depth of the effect. Experiverb also allows you to save your own presets. The developer says that it’ll be “gone forever” after December 4, 2022, so grab it while you can!
Experiverb is available for macOS 10.12 or higher and Windows 10 or higher in VST, VST3, AU, and AAX formats. It requires at least 200 MB of drive space.

Proteus by GuitarML is a very cool utility that lets you capture any drive/gain/EQ knob of a guitar amp or pedal as a plugin for your DAW. On the surface, it looks similar to the developer’s older SmartPedal plugin, but it uses new neural-network-based capture technology. There’s a separate capture utility that allows you to record your amp or pedal at different settings, and then turn that into a plugin with two simple knobs for Drive and Level. A library of pre-recorded tones is also available.
Proteus is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux in VST3, AU, and AAX formats.

USynth Drive is very cool. I plunked around on it for just a few minutes today, and found it immediately inspiring. Thank you!
