Gorebang’s Effects That Misbehave on Purpose

Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A one-person audio project making strange DSP plugins and small-batch hardware for metal and prog.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-14 issue.

Field notes

The project treats effects as self-contained systems whose behavior generates the sound: its proposed Stairwell plugin derives Doppler from a changing air path rather than adding a conventional pitch effect. Hot Fuzz currently combines fuzz, a tracked sub-octave, and experimental signal-processing options in VST3 and AU formats. The site says one portable DSP core will support both software and future numbered-run pedals, while hardware remains non-shipping.
