Camel Audio Camel Crusher ‘Colour’ / distortion effect plugin All LePou plugins available in VST for Windows, most of them are also in VST and AU for Mac. If I had to choose just one (and I did, here), it would be the Le456. It helps that they look as good as they sound. Not so much a plugin as an institution amongst guitarists in the know, LePou makes really good guitar amp and cab simulators. I tend to loop a drum beat or synth line, go mad with the Crusher, Gater, Shuffler and Reverser sections, and record the realtime output so I can go back over the ‘performance’ and lift out the best smaller sections to use as fills and effect edits. It features a sequencer that you can apply colour-coded slices to – each colour represents one of the 9 effects, which is then applied to that section of the incoming audio.
