Dirty Dog - A wild reverb & OverDrive plugin
Safari Pedals has released a reverb and drive pedal plug-in called 'Dirty Dog'.
This plugin was made in collaboration with 11 time Grammy Producer & Engineer Joe Chiccarelli (The White Stripes, The Strokes, Morrissey, Little Dragon, The Killers).
This plugin is not your ordinary reverb; Dirty Dog is a distorted reverb that offers a unique blend of reverb, distortion before and after the reverb, filters, and a gate feature, all crafted to help you shape your sound.
It gives you the ability to send a separate overdriven signal to the reverb to excite the reverb in a way that the normal sound source would never do. The versatile filters allow you to sculpt your audio, from a subtle sheen to radical transformations. It makes for a reverb that is aggressive and adds power and life to the track without overly processing the original sound source
The Dirty Dog has been in development for a few months now and started as an idea by Joe to fit his processed reverbs in to a plugin, As this sound is something that is very hard to achieve in one plugin. It also includes some of Joe's favorite reverb sounds.
