CrazyClipz 2.0 is a freeware clipper VST/AU plugin for Mac OS X, developed by Synthetic Brain and hosted on Bedroom Producers Blog with the developer’s permission.
The effect is currently compatible with Mac OS X only, available as a VST/VST3/AU plugin for 32-bit & 64-bit host applications. The developer told us that a Windows release might happen in the future, however it isn’t ranked very high on the list of priorities at the moment.
CrazyClipz 2.0 is a simple hard clipper effect featuring a straightforward one-knob user interface (although the new 2.0 update has introduced the additional input and output controls which come with their own set of knobs). The plugin can be used to apply hard clipping distortion to any sound source, whereas the amount of distortion is determined by the amplitude of the signal on the input and the value of the “Distortion” parameter.
“Synthetic Brain” is an independent artist/music producer from Moscow, Russia. He works in several music styles and is also a professional programmer. You can follow his work on his SoundCloud page, as well as his YouTube channel and Facebook profile.
If you’re on Windows and looking for a free clipper effect, you should definitely take a look at the Clipmax freeware clipper effect which is available for all major platforms and also features a handy knee control for adjusting the shape of the clipping effect. Another interesting alternative for Windows and Mac OS users is the Klipfreak effect by Audio Assault, who has also developed the awesome FilterCrusher dual tube filter effect which is proudly hosted right here on Bedroom Producers Blog.
