Kit Plugins Noiz 80s Lush — Free Download
NOIZ 80s Lush is a guitar processor for sculpting DI tracks, offering amp-style modeling, multi-stage compression, tone-stack EQ, chorus, and ambience/delay effects, designed for 80s-inspired clean and shimmering tones.
Purpose
NOIZ 80s Lush is a guitar processor built specifically to enhance and sculpt DI tracks. It provides a tailored EQ blend between DI and amp-style modeling, multi-stage compression, tone-stack equalization, chorus, and ambience or delay with preset speeds, plus a wet/dry control for parallel processing.
The plugin is inspired by the sophisticated, chorus-drenched tones from the 1980s, such as the shimmer of The Police, crystalline delay of The Edge, and pristine clean sounds from session work. It aims to deliver sweet, shimmering vintage guitar sounds quickly, without extensive tweaking.
Key Capabilities
The plugin includes clean input and output trims for gain staging, a drive control for adding crunch before time-based effects, and a multi-stage compressor with automatic gain. The tone section is based on a guitar amp tone stack for general shaping. A double-stacked chorus with tempo-synced LFOs provides lush modulation.
The FX type selector offers ambience, delay, or verb. Ambience mixes delay and dry signal into reverb. Delay is a stereo, tempo-synced digital unit. Verb provides three pre-baked impulse response reverbs with a mix control. A top boost compensates for darker guitars, and a blend control mixes processed DI and amp model signals.
Workflow
Load a preset like ‘Violet Downpour’ for Prince-inspired tones, ‘Every Breath’ for Police-style clean, or ‘Rule The World’ for Tears For Fears shimmer. Use the blend control to mix DI and amp signals, or send the DI in parallel with your favorite amp simulator. The start button controls which side of the stereo image delay and chorus begin on.
Gain stage with input and output trims, adjust drive for crunch, and use compression for dynamics. The tone stack shapes the overall sound. Set tempo-synced chorus and delay rates with the S, M, F buttons. Use the wet/dry mix to balance effects. The power button turns the unit on and off, and the plugin includes over 30 presets.
Applications
Ideal for synthwave producers, composers, and guitarists seeking 80s-driven production or modern pop with neon sparkle. It suits clean, chorus-drenched sounds for soundtrack work, from Miami Vice to Top Gun vibes. The plugin fits where other guitar plugins don’t—outside of vintage blues or modern heavy tones.
It thrives on in-between single-coil pickup positions, and the top boost helps with humbucker guitars. Use it for adding shimmer to arpeggios, crystalline delays for atmospheric parts, or pristine cleans for film scores. It’s made for making music, not recreating hardware, so you can focus on sound and songwriting.
