Soundtoys is more than just a plugin company — it’s a movement of musical expression shaped by a deep love for analog gear, creative experimentation, and soulful sound design. Based in the creative heart of Burlington, Vermont, Soundtoys has spent decades developing audio tools that have become essential for producers, engineers, sound designers, and musicians all over the world. Their mission? To bring the soul and character of classic studio gear into the modern digital workflow — and to make it more fun, more musical, and more inspiring than ever.
At the core of Soundtoys’ philosophy is a rare balance between technical brilliance and artistic intuition. Their plugins are not just code and DSP; they’re crafted like instruments, designed to respond and feel alive in the hands of a creative mind. Whether you’re working in film, pop, techno, jazz, or experimental sound art, Soundtoys gives you a set of tools that unlock imagination and push boundaries.
One of the crown jewels of their collection is EchoBoy, widely considered one of the most versatile and musical delay plugins ever made. With its deep emulations of vintage tape echoes, analog delays, and classic digital units, EchoBoy has shaped the sound of countless hit records. Then there’s Decapitator, a powerful saturation and distortion tool that has become a go-to for adding warmth, punch, and attitude — from subtle analog color to full-blown sonic destruction.
Little AlterBoy stands out as one of the most creative vocal processing tools on the market, enabling pitch-shifting, formant manipulation, and robotic harmonies with ease. Meanwhile, Crystallizer delivers stunning pitch-shifted reverse echoes, rooted in 80s Eventide gear but reborn with modern playability and modulation.
All Soundtoys plugins are available individually or as part of the acclaimed Soundtoys 5 Bundle, a complete effects rack that lets you combine plugins into wild custom chains and interactive effects patches. It’s a playground for sonic explorers — intuitive, flexible, and endlessly rewarding.
What makes Soundtoys truly special, though, is their commitment to character. Every plugin oozes with warmth, grit, and unpredictability — qualities often lost in the clean, sterile world of digital audio. These are tools made by musicians, for musicians — with deep respect for analog legacy and a bold vision for what’s next.
If you’re looking to move beyond sterile mixes and cookie-cutter sounds, Soundtoys invites you to dive into a universe where delays breathe, distortions sing, and modulation has magic. It’s not just about sound — it’s about storytelling, emotion, and color. And that’s why Soundtoys isn’t just used. It’s loved.
