Lil’ Nugget is a new series of new plugins. Lil’ Doc is a compressor effect based on the muscular, vinyl simulator in an early 00s workhorse sampler. It’s a powerful effect that’s found a cult following among lo-fi heads, and rightly so! We first implemented this compression algorithm for our paid plug-in Doctor Vibe, and the sound was so unique, we thought it would be a great first entry in our free plug-in series. Enjoy!
Lil’ Doc is an AUv3 effect plug-in. For best experience, load the plug-in on an effects slot in a compatible host. You can also preview the effect in the standalone with our new mini-player.
Features include:
- Completely free, no unlock required!
- Four controls:
- Detroit-style mix slammer
- Warm vinyl noise and crackle
- Drive to clip the converters!
- Four sample grades to choose
- Light or dark color scheme.
Bugger 01 – Lil’ Doc is available to PC, Mac and iOS users (VST3, AU, AAX, CLAP and AUv3)
