The Blue Cat’s Axiom application and plug-in, Blue Cat’s multi-effects processor and amp simulator for guitar and bass, already contains built-in versions of Blue Cat’s Destructor, Re-Guitar, Hot Tuna and Late Replies. The independent and full versions of these plug-ins are part of this bundle and will allow\u00a0you to use them outside of Axiom, anywhere in your favourite DAW.<\/p>\n
The package also includes the AcouFiend feedback simulator to help you make your guitars scream. And with the Blue Cat’s PatchWork plug-ins chainer and multi-fx, you can extend the capabilities of Axiom, with even more flexibility: host more plug-ins and build reusable parallel effects chains easily, or create rich synth patches for your backing tracks.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nBlue Cat’s AcouFiend is an acoustic feedback simulator plug-in that can make your guitars scream, growl, or sing, even at low volume or through headphones, and it gives you total control over it!<\/p>\n
AcouFiend simulates the acoustic feedback (a.k.a “Larsen effect”) well known to guitarists playing loud and close to their speaker… Except that here, you have total control over the effect.<\/p>\n
You can choose when and how to trigger the feedback, on sustained notes or chords. The plug-in lets you select the main harmonic of the feedback, and you can even choose to transpose it for more creative effects. Of course, it can be entirely automated or controlled via MIDI. And since it is a plug-in, it is not just for guitars: create screaming synths, sustained vocal harmonies and more.<\/p>\n
Features<\/h4>\n
- \n
- Acoustic feedback simulator.<\/li>\n
- Total control over the feedback: adjust the rise and fall time, the sensitivity to pitch and amplitude changes, and the generated harmonic.<\/li>\n
- Supports chords.<\/li>\n
- Limit the range of notes that can produce feedback.<\/li>\n
- Transpose the feedback signal to create harmonies.<\/li>\n
- No latency.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Blue Cat’s Axiom<\/h4>\n
<\/a><\/p>\nBlue Cat’s Axiom is a powerful and open multi-effects processor and amp simulation software for guitar and bass. Based on the acclaimed Destructor plug-in for amp simulations, Axiom offers an infinite number of exceptional tones for your axe.<\/p>\n
It includes two amp simulations channels (with pre and post effects) that can be mixed together or used alternatively like a real amp. You can choose your amp models from hundreds of presets or launch the amp editor to build your own, with complete control over the tone. Additional input and master sections let you adjust the tone at the input and the output of Axiom, with 4 additional effect slots each and an integrated high precision tuner. A brickwall limiter also protects the output from overshoot.<\/p>\n
Axiom includes 40 built-in effects that can be loaded in any of the 32 plug-in slots, including a built-in version of Late Replies for creative delays and reverbs, and a built-in version of Destructor to add your own distortion pedals, cabinets or additional amp simulations.<\/p>\n
Blue Cat’s Axiom is not limited to its built-in effects: these slots can also host third party Audio Unit, VST or VST3 plug-ins: you can use your favourite plug-ins anywhere in the signal chain and expand Axiom’s capabilities.<\/p>\n
And because playing alone is not so much fun, we have added a tools section with 3 additional slots to load virtual instruments: add a metronome, a drum machine, sequencer or your keyboardist’s favourite synthesizer there to get it mixed with your guitar.<\/p>\n
If you are looking for amp simulation software without the effects, see the Destructor plug-in. For a plug-in host & multi-effects processor without amp simulation, check out Blue Cat’s PatchWork.

Blue Cat’s Destructor<\/h4>\n
<\/a><\/p>\nBlue Cat’s Destructor is a powerful distortion and amp sim modelling tool capable of simulating any kind of distortion – from harsh digital destruction to smooth compression or guitar amp simulation (works for clean tones too)! And most importantly, yours!<\/p>\n
It is delivered with hundreds of presets and predefined models, either inspired by existing gear (guitar & bass amps or cabinets, compressors, pedals, tape machine)… or created by our destructive minds.<\/p>\n
But the plug-in is not limited to these predefined models – all parameters of existing presets are fully editable, which gives you access to an unlimited number of distortion simulations – no need to purchase extra presets or amp models to build your custom tone.<\/p>\n
Based on a perceptual model rather than on electronic designs or impulse responses, the signal chain is reduced to its bare minimum, simplifying the process of tweaking the tone and making it fit into the mix.<\/p>\n
Thanks to its exclusive adaptive shaper, it is reactive to the playing of instrumentists, providing a very natural feeling, similar to analogue gear.<\/p>\n
To make the look and feel of the plug-in fit with your favourite\u00a0tones, it is bundled with more than 1400 visual styles that can be selected separately for each module.<\/p>\n
It is also possible to import reference curves measured with Blue Cat’s FreqAnalyst Multi to quickly match existing tones.<\/p>\n
The plug-in can be loaded into Blue Cat’s PatchWork to be used as a standalone application, where it can be combined with other effects to build your tone.<\/p>\n
For frequency-selective or multiband distortion, the plug-in can be used in combination with Blue Cat’s MB-7 Mixer.<\/p>\n
Typical applications – Distortion modelling, guitar amp simulation, non-linear tone-shaping channel strip, overdrive, bit crushing, analogue compression, hard & soft clipping, colouring, tape saturation, Lo-fi, fuzz, digital noise, aliasing, filter effects.<\/p>\n
