Softube releases Bad Speaker | Is this the perfect Lo-Fi plugin?

Softube has released a new plugin called Bad Speaker that simulates the sound of vintage speakers and consumer audio equipment like portable radios, cassette decks, and hi-fi systems. Bad Speaker is designed to add an analog, lo-fi character with dirt, distortion, and saturation to your audio tracks.

The plugin has three different speaker modes to choose from as well as controls for adjusting the amount of distortion, the stereo width, and the dynamics of the signal. Bad Speaker comes from the makers of other popular Softube plugins like Tape, Dirty Tape, Wasted Space, Harmonics, and Saturation Knob. With its simple interface and unique sonic qualities, Bad Speaker provides an easy way to experiment with applying distinctive vintage speaker tones perfect for sound design or adding grit to instruments, vocals, and more.

Bad Speaker offers an easy way to add vintage, lo-fi tones to your tracks. The plugin has three different speaker modes:

1. Portable Radio – A gritty, distorted toy speaker sound
2. Cassette Deck – Emulating the tight bass and mid-range bite of classic boomboxes
3. Hi-Fi Speaker – A great-sounding speaker in a room setting as a starting point

The interface keeps things straightforward with just a few sliders. The Drive slider lets you dial in the amount of speaker distortion from subtle to extremely overdriven. The Stereo slider adjusts the width from mono to wide stereo, and the Tone slider tilts the sound between brighter treble or heavier bass response.

Price: The Softube Bad Speaker plugin is priced at $59.00. Though for a limited time, it is available for just $19.00
