Overview
Start with a factory preset, adjust it to suit your instrument, or build your signal chain from scratch. Every pedal, amp, cabinet and rack processor lives in one window, laid out like real gear and wired the way you choose.
Stack up to 24 independent pedal instances and drag them into any order. The amp and cabinet sit on the board as a movable pair, so pedals can go before or after them.
01 · The pedalboard
Pedals sit on a scrolling board just like the real thing. Add with +, remove with ×, right-click to duplicate, and drag to reorder. The lamp beside each name is the bypass switch; double-click any knob to reset it.
02 · Living artwork
Every pedal is illustrated and animated, and the artwork reacts to how you play. Embers rise from Ravage as you dig in, Halo's four rings spin with its stages, and Downshift's light bars step down with the tuning. It is still gear first: big labelled knobs, clear values, nothing hidden.
03 · Amps
From GLASS cleans and HEARTH breakup to REACTOR drive, TITAN high gain and the TREMOR bass head, each amp has its own panel and voicing. Prefer your own captures? Load compatible Neural Amp Modeler files into the same slot.
04 · Cabinets & mics
Pick one of four cabinets, then place two microphones on the grille. Drag them in, set distance, blend and pan, and flip polarity, or skip the virtual cab and load your own impulse response.
05 · Studio racks
Pre and post racks hold eleven types of studio processor, from compression and limiting to EQ, tape colour, saturation, stereo enhancement, reverb, filters and gating. Shape dynamics before your drive pedals, then polish the finished tone after the cab.
06 · Looper
Record a rhythm, add overdubs, undo a layer and change your live sound while the loop keeps its original tone. The looper records the processed signal; the click is never recorded.
07 · MIDI control
Map compatible MIDI controls for pedal switching, preset navigation, wah expression and the looper. Press Learn, move a switch, done. Save your mapping and load it on the next gig.
Live demo · no download
This is the real RAVAGE: the plugin's own distortion, amp and cabinet DSP, running right here. Pick a loop, drag the knobs, flip the voice, swap the amp and cab. Headphones recommended.
The pedal library
Overdrive, distortion, fuzz, compression, wah, modulation, delay, reverb, graphic EQ and experimental pitch shifting. Run any of them up to 24 times on the same board.
Drive & distortion · Distortion
Hard-edged distortion for riffs. Drive and Tone set the grind, Bite and Body shape the attack and the weight, and Mix blends your dry signal back in.
Drive & distortion · Fuzz
Thick, untamed fuzz. Starve chokes it into sputtering, broken-up textures; Octave stacks an upper octave on top.
Drive & distortion · Four-voice distortion
Four distortion families in one box: Classic, Turbo, Zone and Heavy. A full EQ with sweepable mids and a two-stage Turbo switch dial it in.
Drive & distortion · Four-voice overdrive
Four overdrive voices: Super, Open, Dynamic and Blend. Color, Bass and Treble tune how hard it pushes the amp.
Drive & distortion · Blues overdrive
Three knobs, nothing in the way: a blues drive for warm breakup in front of a clean amp.
Drive & distortion · Transparent overdrive
A transparent overdrive that pushes your amp harder without painting over its character.
Drive & distortion · Industrial texture
Noise-rock and industrial grit. Crush degrades the signal, Chop cuts it into rhythmic fragments and Filter carves what is left.
Modulation · Chorus / vibrato
Chorus and vibrato in one. Drift adds wandering movement; Width spreads it across the stereo field.
Modulation · Phaser / flanger
Phaser or flanger, switched by Mode. Feedback sharpens the sweep from subtle swirl to jet-plane.
Modulation · Four-stage phaser
A classic four-stage phaser with three knobs: smooth, vocal sweeps that sit under chords or leads.
Time & space · Character echo
Five delay modes (Mono, Stereo, Ping Pong, Dual Tap and Tape) with Drive, modulation and tone shaping for repeats with character. Note divisions run from 1/32 to a full bar.
Time & space · Atmospheric reverb
Six reverb styles (Plate, Hall, Room, Cathedral, Infinite and Psychedelic) from a tight room to endless ambient wash.
Dynamics, filter & EQ · Stereo compressor
Studio-style stereo compression: threshold −42 to −6 dBFS, ratio 1:1 to 12:1, attack 0.2–80 ms, release 25–800 ms and up to 18 dB makeup. Blend sets parallel compression.
Dynamics, filter & EQ · Envelope / expression wah
Auto-wah that follows your picking, or a manual sweep. Map a MIDI expression pedal and rock it with your foot.
Dynamics, filter & EQ · 7-band graphic EQ
Seven bands from 100 Hz to 6.4 kHz. Scoop the mids, boost a solo or tame a harsh pickup anywhere on the board.
Dynamics, filter & EQ · 10-band graphic EQ
Ten bands from 31 Hz to 16 kHz for precise, full-range tone shaping, including bass guitar.
Pitch · Polyphonic pitch shift
Drop your tuning without touching the pegs: E♭, D, D♭, C, B or A standard, with Fine trim and a dry/wet Mix.
Amps & cabinets
Every amp shares the same six controls: Gain, Bass, Middle, Treble, Presence and Master, plus its own Mix and Volume. What changes is the voice. The amp and cabinet sit on your pedalboard as a pair you can drag anywhere, so drives can hit the front of the amp while delays and reverbs follow it.
01 · Pristine American clean
An ice-blue and stainless clean head for sparkling, uncoloured cleans.
02 · Warm tweed breakup
A tweed-and-oxblood roots combo voiced for warm breakup.
03 · British Class A chime
An ivory-and-copper head with a bright, chiming top end.
04 · Royal British crunch
Racing green and basketweave, voiced for classic British crunch.
05 · Hot-rodded cascade
A perforated-metal hot rod with cascading gain for saturated drive.
06 · Modern tight high gain
Titanium-armoured high gain with a tight, modern voice.
07 · Low-end authority
Walnut and VU meters: a low-register head for bass and baritone.
08 · Neural Amp Modeler
Load compatible Neural Amp Modeler captures into the amp slot, from disk or straight from TONE3000.
How NAM works →Neural Amp Modeler · TONE3000
Neural Amp Modeler (NAM) uses neural networks to capture the sound and feel of real amplifiers and pedals. Beast Pedals loads NAM captures into its amp slot and impulse responses into its cabinet slot, and its built-in TONE3000 browser finds and downloads community captures without leaving the plugin.
Click Sign in to Tone3000 and your browser opens. Sign in or create a free TONE3000 account, approve Beast Pedals, and it connects by itself. The plugin never asks for your password.
Browse your favourites, your own tones, downloads, trending and latest, or search the catalog. Pick NAM A1 + custom or NAM A2 amp captures, or WAV and AIFF cabinet IRs. Clicking the amp or cab in the signal chain opens the matching view.
Pick a tone and it downloads straight into the amp or cabinet slot. Captures made at 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz are resampled to your session automatically.
Downloads stay on your computer after you sign out, and presets recall them. Built-in amps and your own local .nam and IR files work without any account.
TONE3000 is a separate service and needs a TONE3000 account; its catalog and availability are set by TONE3000. Beast Pedals is not affiliated with TONE3000 or the Neural Amp Modeler project.

Dual-mic studio
Open any cabinet and two microphones appear on the grille. Drag them where you want them, choose a voicing for each, then blend, pan and phase-flip them. Every move changes the sound the way a real mic would. Tap the numbers to see how.
Choose Dynamic Punch, Dynamic Body, Ribbon Warm or Condenser Air for each microphone.
Drag a mic across the speaker. On-axis at the centre is brightest; moving towards the edge rolls off the top end, just like a real off-axis mic.
Pull a mic back up to 60 cm. Close placement adds low-end weight; distance softens the top and adds real time-of-flight delay.
Because each mic hears the speaker after its own delay, two mics at different distances interact the way they do in a studio. Use Phase to flip one when the blend sounds thin.
Set each mic's level to balance the two voicings, for example a bright dynamic up close with a warm ribbon further back.
Spread the two mics across the stereo field for a wide, layered cabinet sound.
Low Cut, High Cut and Brightness fine-tune any cabinet without touching the mics.
Dynamic
Focused and forward: bright enough to cut, a touch of air and a lean low end. The go-to close mic.
Dynamic
Thicker and darker: more low-mid body under a softer top. For fat rhythm tones.
Ribbon
The warmest voice: the most body with smooth, rolled-off highs. A natural partner for a brighter mic.
Condenser
The most open voice: extended top end and air over a lighter low end, for detail and sparkle.
Mic voicings and cabinets are original modeled responses designed for Beast Pedals, not captured impulse responses. Load your own IR any time.
Cabinets
Each built-in cabinet has its own frequency response: where the low end starts, how much body it adds, how deep the mids scoop and where the top rolls off. The curves below are drawn from the cabinets' actual settings.
Single speaker · linen and walnut
Balanced and intimate. Low end from about 70 Hz, a gentle body bump near 180 Hz, a light mid scoop and a soft presence lift before the top rolls off around 6 kHz.
Two speakers · petrol and silver
Bright and articulate. The tightest low end (from about 80 Hz), the strongest presence near 3.2 kHz and the most extended top of the four, out to about 7 kHz.
Four speakers · road armour
The big box. The heaviest low-end thump around 135 Hz, the deepest mid scoop near 550 Hz and a hard presence push near 2.4 kHz.
Bass cabinet · single 15 with dual ports
Built for bass and baritone. Reaches down to about 32 Hz with weight around 85 Hz and a rounded top that rolls off near 4 kHz.
Cab Polish
Low Cut, High Cut and Brightness fine-tune any cabinet. Mix and Volume set how much of the cab you hear, or swap it for your own impulse response.
Studio tools
Rack processors go before the pedalboard or after the cabinet. Each type has its own panel, controls and colour, so a glance tells you what is in the chain.
6 slots before the board6 after the cab
Catches peaks before they clip. Set the Ceiling, choose how quickly it lets go with Release, and blend with Mix. Last in the post rack, it keeps your output under control.
Fast, punchy FET-style compression. Even out your picking in the pre rack or glue the finished tone in the post rack; Blend gives you parallel compression.
Three-band parametric EQ with a sweepable, adjustable-width mid band, for surgical cuts or broad boosts.
Ten fixed bands from 31 Hz to 16 kHz for quick, visual tone shaping anywhere in the rack.
Broad, vintage-style curves. Boost and attenuate the lows (or the highs) at the same time for a big but tight shape.
Tape colour: Drive pushes it into saturation, Tone darkens or brightens, and Wow adds a gentle pitch wobble.
Harmonic saturation for warmth and edge. Bias changes the character of the clipping; Mix keeps the dry signal in the blend.
Widen or narrow the stereo image and rebalance left against right.
A studio reverb for the end of the chain: Size for the space, Damping for darker tails and Width for the stereo spread.
Clean up low rumble and high fizz, or raise Resonance for an obvious, synth-like filter.
A noise gate for high-gain rigs. Range sets how far it closes; Attack and Release shape how it opens and lets go.
Tune from a clean input tap, with optional output muting so the room stays quiet.
Load NAM amp captures and cabinet impulse responses from disk, or browse TONE3000 without leaving the plugin.
Save rigs, organize them in categories, import and export them, and undo any edit or rig recall.
