The Forgotten ’80s Guitar Tone.

The ’80s guitar tone most plugins ignore isn’t hair-metal shred. It’s the sophisticated, chorus-drenched sound underneath every hit: Andy Summers’ shimmer on The Police records, The Edge’s crystalline delay on The Joshua Tree, the pristine clean on Purple Rain, the session work on every film soundtrack from Miami Vice to Top Gun.

Dreamy '80s Guitar Sounds at Your Fingertips

Our secret recipe inspired by a Roland Jazz Chorus in Blackbird Studio, a Rockman DI processor, and a suite of era-specific chorus and delay effects gives you sweet, shimmering vintage guitar tones in a few clicks.

Made For Making Music, Not Tweaking Knobs

Most amp sims assume you want to recreate hardware. ’80s Lush assumes you want to make music.

Load “Violet Downpour” and get Prince-inspired tones. Load “Every Breath” for The Police-style chorus-drenched clean. “Rule The World” gives you Tears For Fears-inspired shimmer.

Fits Where Other Guitar Plugins Don't

Synthwave producers, composers, and guitarists—different needs, same solution.

Most guitar plugins were built either for vintage blues warmth or modern heavy tones. ’80s Lush was built for a different job:

'80s driven production, modern pop, or anywhere that needs a touch of neon sparkle.

Synthwave & Retrowave Producers

Make your synth tracks feel complete.

’80s Lush adds warmth, width, and shimmer that blends naturally with vintage synth VSTs - because both come from the same sonic era.

Features
  • Clean Input Output Trims: Use these to gain-stage your signal into the plugin and compensate for any volume boosts
  • Drive: Use this to add a little crunch to your signal. Affects the entire signal (DI and Amp) and is before the time-based effects. Roughly auto-gained.
  • Comp: A multi-stage dynamics processor designed to deliver compression tailored to your needs. Roughly auto-gained.
  • Top Boost: This is designed to compensate for a darker guitar. This plugin thrives on in in-between single coil pickup positions, and this is designed to help if you have something like a humbucker guitar.
  • Blend: The true magic of this plugin and tone is the mixing of a processed DI signal and an amp model inspired by clean amps of the era. You can also use the global mix and use the DI in a parallel send with your favorite amp sim.
  • Tone Section: Based on a tone stack of a guitar amp, this is at the end of the internal signal chain to add general tone shaping if need be.
  • Chorus: A double-stacked chorus to give mucho chorus. The LFOs are tempo-synced and controlled by the S M F button below them.
  • FX Type: Click the FX Type label to choose between either Ambience, Delay or Verb.
  • Ambience: Provides a 50/50 mix between delay and your dry input signal fed into reverb.
  • Delay: A stereo delay — based on digital units of the era that is tempo synced and controlled by the S, M, F buttons below them.
  • Verb: Provides a selection of 3 pre-baked impulse response reverbs, selectable by the S, M, F buttons below with a mix control.
  • Start: Controls which side of the stereo image the delay and chorus start on.
  • Power: Turns the unit on and off.
  • Mix: A Wet/Dry Mix.
