Blue Cat Audio Releases AcouFiend 1.2 Feedback Simulation Plug-In & Re-Guitar 1.4 Guitar Pickups and Body Replacement Plug-In

Blue Cat Audio has released free updates for AcouFiend and Re-Guitar.

AcouFiend is an acoustic feedback simulation plug-in that can make electric guitars scream, growl, or sing – even at low volume or through headphones – by generating harmonics on sustained notes. Re-Guitar is a guitar tone modeling plug-in that can emulate a wide range of guitar tones from a single instrument by virtually replacing its pickups or body.

The new version of AcouFiend delivers significant signal processing performance improvements and adds a new feature to transpose feedback harmonics across a selected note range. The free update also introduces new MIDI capabilities for both plug-ins, along with additional enhancements and fixes (full list below).

New in AcouFiend 1.2:

  • Select the source note range where transposition applies to get different effects depending on the notes played (Fine tune not impacted).
  • DSP performance improvements (up to 50% faster).
  • GUI performance improvements.
