Extremist is a VST multi-effect plugin for guitars on Windows OS. It's main purpose is distorting guitar signal to receive 'extremely heavy sound'. This effect is NOT a tube amplifier simulator, and it is NOT a cabinet simulator, however some methods of altering signal are similar to tube amplification characteristics, but only similar!
The effect works in stereo mode, without any latency. It uses 15-band stereo equalizer. It's optimized to use SSE instruction set for Pentium II or newer processors.
Drive, Dry, Wet, Volume - amplification & mixing signals knobs.
Feedback - level of signal feed back.
Clip - clipping level.
Reverb - stereofonic reverb effect, adjustable up to mid delay.
Mid Boost - mid tones booster.
Eq Q - width of equalizer each frequency band.
Pre HPF - filtering low frequencies of effect input.
Post LPF - filtering high frequencies of effect output.
Noise gate - noise gate.
Amp curve - amplification characteristic.
Lock bars - operate equalizer sliders in mono/stereo.
Post gating - noise gate applied before/after effect.
Smoothing - signal smoothing (hiss reduction).

RetroBand is a distortion unit at heart, but this type and concept hasn't been previously available as a digital model. Excuse the use of worn-out terminology, but it goes from warming, sharpening, roughing up, softening and smoothing - or all these combined. It may desirably enrich sterile sound sources. Failing equipment can be easily simulated and this allows plenty of creativity. With some luck, it makes things sound "larger than life". The transient enhanced IM with mid-side stereo control can change or revive a stereo image, too.
RetroBandLite is a free cutdown version of the commercial RetroBand. There are no time or preset usage limitations, but quite many of the advanced features of the full version are missing and RetroBandLite processes everything as mono.
