RAIJU is a zero-latency overdrive / saturation plugin that tightens the low end, pushes the mids forward and adds bite so the source cuts through instead of getting buried. Its pedal-style front panel offers DRIVE, TONE, LEVEL and BITE controls plus two modes, MODERN and VINTAGE. MODERN delivers a tight, aggressive drive aimed at rhythm guitar parts that need focus and speed, while VINTAGE is voiced for a fuller response that adds body and grind. Beyond hitting the front end of an amp or pushing a DI hard, it also works on bass, overheads, room mics, vocals, synths, loops and samples – any track in the mix that needs one more push. It normally sells for £30, but you can grab it for free until August 20, 2026.
Main Features

- Switchable stereo / dual-mono operation
