JOLT…

With an oversaturated market of ‘urm’, saturation plugins, I recently stumbled upon ‘Jolt’. It was actually pure luck. When I purchased the new SUPERcool ‘DYAD ‘ device from Fors, I discoverd the package had some cool and nifty tools on board. I literally almost was purchasing Ableton 12 ( for the Roar and maybe a little bit for the inscreen mixer they’ve added ) but than I learned about the Jolt plugin, this tool does exactly what I needed. A no nonsense super organic gritty to gentle overdrive/distortion/saturation device. And oh man, it rocks on kicks, percs, hats and so on. Just one knob to tweak and spice to taste and your elements start to shine like crazy. The guys from Fors have made this tool so brilliant that I can even compare this to something like the Tiptop audio FSU unit. Hardware analog madness in a tiny little M4L device. Well done Fors ! Honestly, Ableton… Do you guys really have to steal 199euro’s for an upgrade that actually is just an update with some features that could’ve been on board for ages? Another money grabbing company… I love the software but I don’t feel the need to keep upgrading every single fart they add.. Their nifty steal: at some given moment they force you to upgrade… Anyway, for now I’m ok with my finally stable version 11. Won’t be upgrading immediately.

Anyway, the simplistic complexity of the Jolt is the most super duper organic sounding digital device I have used up till now.

You can check out the package here. The guys from Fors always upload a very useful ‘show and tell’ video on Youtube. Follow this link!

Have a great day!!
