The cool cats at XLN have released an awesome looking new plug-in, the RC-20 Retro Color.

Here’s the speil:

“RC-20 Retro Color is a creative effect plugin that adds life and texture to any recording. It easily recreates the warm, cozy feeling of vintage recording equipment, but also works perfectly in any modern production setting.”

“With its six FX modules, RC-20 can replicate everything from vinyl records to VHS tape, adding noise, wobble and even dropouts to your tracks. Its raw distortion and crunchy bit reduction add grit to your bass and drums while the space and chorus effects will make your guitar sing like never before. The filtering effects help everything fit right into even the most modern and cutting-edge club track.”

XLN have already got some brilliant gain/distortion effects (check out the tube coloring on Addictive Drums 2 and Addictive Keys for example) so I’m looking forward to trying this out.

The price is US$79.95 with a free trial available.
