Fulltone Collection

IK Multimedia's Fulltone Collection brings three carefully selected effects into the AmpliTube ecosystem: the OCD overdrive, the SSTE tape echo, and the TERC chorus. Each plugin recreates gear that defined particular sonic territories in contemporary music production, with particular strength in the 80s and 90s aesthetic.

The OCD is a transparent overdrive that excels at pushing existing tones rather than imposing coloration, making it equally useful on guitars and keyboards. The SSTE models a solid-state tape delay, capturing the harmonic saturation and natural compression that tape-based units contributed to classic recordings. The standout piece is the TERC, a tri-stereo chorus descended from the rare Dyno My Piano unit, known for its lush, wide stereo imaging without the thinness that plagues many digital chorus implementations.

These aren't novelty recreations. Each plugin is engineered to function as a primary tool rather than a nostalgic option. Producers working across genres will find practical applications: the chorus translates well to vocals and synths, the overdrive stacks cleanly with other processors, and the tape echo integrates naturally into mix chains without requiring extensive parameter tweaking to sound professional.

The collection suits engineers and producers who value transparent, musically useful effects over experimental sound design. While the gear these plugins emulate carries strong period associations, the actual sonic utility transcends retro positioning. For those seeking reliable, characterful processors with authentic circuit modeling, the Fulltone Collection represents a straightforward investment in tools that serve production rather than distract from it.
