Blue Cat Audio Axe Pack

Blue Cat Audio Axe Pack

The Blue Cat Audio Axe Pack is a ten-product software toolkit for shaping guitar and bass tone entirely in the box. At its heart is Axiom, Blue Cat's multi-effects and amp simulation rig, which already contains built-in versions of Destructor, Re-Guitar, Hot Tuna and Late Replies. This bundle also gives you the full standalone versions of those plugins, so you can use them anywhere in your DAW.

On top of that you get AcouFiend for controllable feedback, Miaow Wah for wah and filter effects, PolyVibe for classic vibe tones, Re-Head for realistic monitoring on headphones, and PatchWork to extend Axiom with more plugins, reusable parallel chains or even synth layers for backing tracks.
