An Über-powerful Multi-effects System

Effect Rack transforms a cache of tried-and-true Soundtoys classics into an über-powerful multi-effects system. This plug-in was tailor-made for creative effect-building. With it, you can stack effects to create custom chains, treat your chain as a single effect via global controls, and build one-of-a-kind ambient effects with the Recycle control. A Mix control supplies access to parallel processing. You can also save and recall effect chains effortlessly in different DAWs, while carefully crafted presets make auditioning new ideas a piece of cake. Effect Rack comes preloaded with 14 of Soundtoys’ most popular effects, including Decapitator, Devil-Loc Deluxe, EchoBoy, and more.

Note: The effects contained in Effect Rack aren’t available as individual plug-ins outside of the rack.

This multi-effects system was built for experimentation

Effect Rack was tailor-made for creative experimentation. This multi-effects system enables you to stack effects, then drag and drop them in different combinations to achieve new sounds. And since it’s a self-contained plug-in, you can save your custom-built effect chains for use as an insert or send effect in whatever host you’re using.

Treat your custom chain as a single effect with global controls

Soundtoys Effect Rack isn’t merely an effect chain; rather, it’s a single powerful effect with global controls. It’s a breeze to lock all the rhythmic effects in your chain to a single tempo, fine-tune your input and levels, or deploy parallel processing. And the powerful global Recycle control — a favorite feature here at Sweetwater — mixes your output back into the plug-in's input to create modulated reverbs, over-the-top delays, and otherworldly ambient effects.

Audition new ideas using carefully crafted presets

Auditioning new ideas is a cinch with Effect Rack, thanks to its conveniently categorized presets. Whether you want to mangle your guitar, modulate your vocals, or crush your drums, there’s an effect chain in Effect Rack that will deliver the sound you’re searching for. Into sound design? Check out the Spaces and Modulation categories — there are loads of left-field sonic ideas lurking in there.

Fun and nice sounding

Ecoboy delay is great..i wish there was a way to remove the the not included reverb out of the panel
Other than that all the included modules are great..just when I thought I dident need any more plugins this one got me...lol
Rated 4/5

Excellent tools, lots of great pre-sets, easy to edit - but SMALL

I have really enjoyed playing with this more recently. Maybe a year ago, the studio rack was on sale for $ and I took the leap. Total operator error here, but when opening a rack, the top insert is the MIX bar which allows you to use this as an insert effect and adjust the mix. Well, it defaults to 100% mix, so the only want to use it was to set up and FX channel, which kind of annoyed me. Well, once I realized there was a mix knob, well, that just opened up the possibilities.

The sonic scapes that this can put together easily is really amazing. It can function as simple, straightforward, effects, or it can warp the heck out of what you're working on. It is SOOOOO easy to use.

There are two criticisms.

1. The interface is wicked small. I messaged the Soundtoys team and they said to stay tuned, some hopefully that will be available soon.

2. I have not found a MIDI learn function on the knobs buttons or dials. So automation is tricky. I have not spent much time digging into this so a workaround may be available - I just haven't found it.

Other wise, for $, this was a steal.
