Six effects. Your combination.

80s Suite is the collection name. Each Anagram effect will be offered individually through Marketplace, rather than as a single bundle. These are not desktop plug-ins; a desktop 80s Suite license does not include the Anagram effects.

Punch & control

80s Compressor

Punchy compression, adjustable character and parallel blending in one block.

Keep clean parts even, add density to a lead, or dial in a firmer squeeze. Choose Hard or Soft Knee and Classic or Tight curves, then shape the response with Attack and Release. Optional VCA character adds color, while Mix blends the compressed and dry signals for parallel compression.

Features & controls

Hard and Soft knee options
Classic and Tight compression curves
Adjustable Attack and Release
Optional VCA character and Character Drive
Stereo-linked detection with IN, GR and OUT meters

Movement & dimension

80s Chorus

Layered stereo chorus, from gentle movement to a rich ensemble.

Add a light sheen to clean parts or build a rich, moving ensemble. TRI brings three-voice chorus; DIM adds spacious stereo character. Use either stage alone or combine them in either order, with modulation modes and depth controls to shape the movement.

Features & controls

Independent TRI and DIM stages
Selectable TRI > DIM or DIM > TRI order
Preset, Manual and Preset+Manual TRI modes
Master TRI Depth plus individual L/C/R depths for the Manual contribution
Six DIM modes: 1, 2, 3, 1+4, 2+4 and 3+4

Width & thickness

80s Detune

Small pitch shifts and short delays for a broader, thicker stereo sound.

Give clean guitar lines and sustained leads a broader, thicker sound. Choose Classic or Micro, then use fine pitch offsets and independent left and right delays to shape the spread. Tone adjusts the color; Feedback adds a more pronounced, repeating texture.

Features & controls

Classic and Micro modes
Detune from 0 to 15 cents
Independent left and right delays from 0 to 30 ms
Tone and Feedback controls
Adjustable wet/dry Mix

Color & space

80s Color Delay

Circular and panning echoes, from distinct repeats to a diffuse wash.

Send echoes around the stereo field with Circular and Pan Delay patterns. Set the pace in milliseconds, build up the repeats with Feedback, and soften their edges with Diffusion. Keep it subtle behind a clean line or place it after modulation for a layered atmosphere.

Features & controls

Circular and Pan Delay stereo patterns
Manual Time from 20 to 1000 ms
Feedback and Diffusion controls
Trails preserves existing echoes on block bypass

Rhythm & motion

80s Sync Delay

Tempo-based echoes, dynamic ducking and stereo movement in three rack-inspired voices.

Choose colored echoes with 42 12-Bit, dynamic repeats with 22 DYN, or moving stereo delay with 22 PAN. Follow Anagram tempo or set the timing in milliseconds. Both 22 modes can pull repeats back while you play and let them return between phrases.

Features & controls

Three voices: 42 12-Bit, 22 DYN and 22 PAN
Echo note divisions follow Anagram tempo
Ducking controls in both 22 modes
Independent pan timing and depth in 22 PAN
Free-running pitch modulation in all three voices
Tone, Low Cut, High Cut and bypass Trails

Depth & atmosphere

80s Reverb

Rack-inspired algorithmic reverb, from compact rooms to long, modulated tails.

Add a sense of space around a part. Hall, Chamber, Plate, Ambient and Room offer five editable starting programs in one algorithmic engine. Shape the space with Decay, Size, Predelay and Modulation, then balance early reflections, stereo spread and tone.
