You may have already heard about Tek’it Audio thanks to their previous release of the neat little Genobazz bass module VST.
They have released another plugin today, it’s a filter and distortion combo lovingly called Badass.
It looks like a handy tool for adding some edge to your sounds, offering 8 filter types and various bonus effects like distortion, bitcrushing and ring modulation. The plugin was made using SynthEdit so it’s Windows only. The plugin is priced at 17EUR (thanks to rumpelfilter for correcting me about this).
Features
Main features of Badass:
- 7 Effects: filter, cut, drive, lofi, ring, shape and boost

Looks like it’s not freeware anymore…
oh snap! i’m such a tit sometimes. thanks for correcting me rumperfilter, it seems like this pluggie was never freeware. :D
Badass looks a little like Audio Damage Kombinat but seems more aimed at generating a harsher sound (at least that’s what it sounds listening to the SC-demo).
i still haven’t had the chance to play around with badass (this sounds so wrong), although it does look pretty interesting. but i’m rather hooked up to jb’s timemachine vst for the lofi sort of tasks, so i don’t think anything else can take its place in my plugin collection.
