A Mind-Bending Audio Transformation Plugin To Manipulate, Distort, Destroy & Transform Your Sounds!
“Garbage LSD” provides a series of lethal modules to manipulate, distort, destroy and transform your sounds with radioactive modulation, junk EQs, warping convolutions and scummy filtering to name a few.
Product Features
- Filters (6 unique filter types)
- Distortion (3 distortion modes with colour adjustment)
- LoFi (bit depth, sample rate and noise control)
- Ring Modulation (standard and amplitude modulation circuits)
- Convolution Reverb (Impulse Response loader)
- EQ (spectral loss EQ, reminiscent of transistor radios)
- Compression (Analog Studio Rack comp, simplified with fixed controls)
- Modulation Matrix (two modulators; modulate all parameters with LFO, Envelope follower and side chain feed, and modulate each other parameters: mod 1 and mod 2)
Using the various components of Garbage LSD enables one to create wacky new sounds to spice up mixes or create “innovative” textures never thought possible.
Note: This plugin may not yet be compatible with macOS 10.15 (Catalina) or above. Native Apple Silicon/M1 chips may not be supported at this time. A Demo version can be downloaded HERE.
Note: Please be aware you will be required to visit an external website in order to redeem and download your product, we do not host the plugin download at VSTBuzz.

Endlessly Sculpt Your Sound Using Six Pages of Dedicated Controls
Master Page
- 1. Cog Wheel/Utility Menu
- 2. Preset Menu and Navigation
- 3. Status Bar
- 4. Power Button (Master Bypass)
- 5. Global In/Out Meters
- 6. Output Volume Knob
- 7. Plugin Page Tabs (Master, Trash, LoFi, Radio)
- 8. Module On/Off Button (green = on, dimmed = off)
- 9. Module In/Out Volume Controls and Metering (Peak and RMS)
- 10. Drop-down button for Module Display Selection
- 11. Modulation Matrix (see below)
Trash Page
FILTER
- 1. Power Button On/Off (green = on, dimmed = off)
- 2. Filter Shape. Select your desired filter here and view the EQ curve in the Display area below
- 3. Filter Cut-Off
- 4. Resonance
- 5. Boost: Amount of pre-filter gain. Boosts the 1st internal saturation stage
DISTORTION
- 6. Distortion Mode: As with the color, this parameter shapes the harmonic profile of the output saturation stage (shown in the Display area below)
- 7. Distortion Drive: Amount of post-filter gain. Boosts the 2nd internal saturation stage
- 8. Distortion Color
LoFi Page
- 1. Power button On/Off (green = on, dimmed = off) / Bit Depth and S.Rate: Reduces bit resolution of the incoming audio / Noise: Digitally generated LOFI noise, not a sample-based or white noise
- 2. RING MOD – Power button On/Off (green = on, dimmed = off) / Frequency: Controls the modulation frequency / Mode: Mode is a switch between ring and amplitude modulation effect / Drive: Controls the internal saturation amount / Feedback: Controls the amount of output fed back through the circuit input
- 3. CONVOLUTION – Power button On/Off (green = on, dimmed = off) / Gain: +/- 24dB / Mix: Controls the mix balance between the source/effect / Metering: Displays the input and output (Peak) levels in and out of the convolution engine
- Convolution Impulse Loader – Click the center section to view impulse response presets list
Radio Page
- 1. RADIO EQ – Power button On/Off (green = on, dimmed = off) / Bass: Low-shelf at 362 Hz / Mid: Bell at 1.02 kHz / Treble: Bell at 8.1 kHz
- 2. DAMP – Lows, Resonance and Highs controls act as a filter EQ, reminiscent of old transistor radios. Filter the low-end/high-end and adjust the resonant peaks at their respective center frequencies
- 2. COMP – Power button On/Off (green = on, dimmed = off) / Threshold: Sets the (dB) level at which the audio surpassed is reduced by an amount / Ratio: Sets the amount of gain reduction applied (1 : x), as the audio breaches the Threshold level / Release: Sets the release time value (ms/S) for gain reduction; after the audio signal is below the Threshold
Mod Matrix
Welcome to the modulation matrix, where your audio sculpting can get a little crazy!
There are two modulators (Mod 1 and Mod 2), each with the same functions, parameters and controls. They can modulate each other’s parameters too, and their own. You can sync to host tempo by clicking either LFO Sync (green = on, dimmed = off), and turn off the mod sections completely by selecting the Power.
You may also turn on/off each modulation route by clicking the light to the left of each mod destination. Set the mod destination by clicking the — to show the list: Master, Filter, Dist, LoFi, Ring Mod, Convolution, Radio EQ, Compressor, Mod, Mod 2.

Sheldon – :
I already got Izotope Trash 2, and was struggling a bit whether to get this or not. Luckily, there is a demo version for Garbage LSD. After some playing around, I found I really love it and it is indeed totally different from Trash 2. I am glad I got this as well. This is a really great distortion plugin, and is very musical.
Darren – :
Go to town with Garbage LSD with the six pages of dedicated controls. I’m just getting into it but already see the unlimited potentials as with so many other plugins. Without duplicating plugins, I always say the more the merrier.
