The Scream, all done, and in Sound on Sound


Cytomic has finished its third product, The Scream, a plugin emulation of the classic TS808 Tube Screamer by Ibanez, and Cytomic’s most detailed plugin yet.

The Scream covers all the classic sounds you’d expect from one of the world’s favourite guitar overdrive pedals, but also includes full editing of every parameter of the entire circuit, so you can not only cover all the most popular mods, but also push into new territory.

You can lower the drive high pass for use on bassier signals, or adjust the op-amp slew rate and output voltage clipping to add extra crunch to synths. You can use LEDs with non-linear diffusion capacitance for a smoother and more open drive sound, or even increase the power voltage and lower the dc-blocking filters to use for subtle bus warming. Then on top of that you can randomise everything, in stereo, so each and every track can have a different variation of the tone in seconds.

The Scream is a true chameleon, an electronic circuit turned into infinitely malleable clay through accurate, detailed, and efficient analog modelling that Cytomic always delivers.
