Blue Cat AcouFiend

Blue Cat AcouFiend｜Ultimate Controllable Guitar Acoustic Feedback Simulator

Let your guitar scream, roar, and sing at any volume

Blue Cat's AcouFiend is a revolutionary acoustic feedback simulation effect plugin that allows your guitar to produce screaming, roaring, or singing sustain at any volume, even when wearing headphones, and gives you complete control over it all. Traditionally, guitarists needed to turn their amps to extreme volumes and get close to the speakers to achieve the captivating Larsen effect (Larsen effect), but AcouFiend completely changes the game. This powerful guitar effect plugin is not just a simulation; it's a precise recreation and extension of feedback effects, allowing you to trigger, shape, and control the timing and pitch of feedback at will, bringing unprecedented possibilities to your tone shaping.

Whether you're meticulously sculpting tones in the studio or need stable, controllable feedback effects in live performances, AcouFiend is your ultimate solution. It frees you from the limitations of physical space and volume, allowing you to focus on musical creation itself. You can not only select the main harmonics of the feedback but even transpose them to create highly creative sounds. What's more, its application extends far beyond guitars, adding unique sustained harmonies and textures to sources like synthesizers, vocals, and more, making it an indispensable creative tool for modern music producers.
