Two Different Flavors. One Goal.
Sometimes a track is close, but it still feels like something is missing. That’s where the Character Bundle comes in.
Forge gives you the depth, weight, warmth, and movement of transformer and tube-style processing.
Gas Can Amp takes things in a completely different direction, adding grit, saturation, aggression, and lo-fi personality.
Use them separately to give individual tracks their own flavor, or combine them when you really want to transform a sound.
Forge
Add Depth, Weight & Analog Character
Forge is a transformer and tube tone shaper designed to bring the depth, weight, and character of analog hardware into your mixes.
Choose between Nickel, Iron, and Steel transformer flavors, then push the transformer and tube stages to dial in anything from subtle warmth to more obvious saturation.
Use it to add:
- Weight and density to drums and bass
- Warmth and richness to guitars and vocals
- Depth and movement to buses and full mixes
- Different shades of analog character without stacking multiple plugins
When a track feels close but is still missing that sense of depth, dimension, and polish, Forge helps fill in what’s missing.

Gas Can Amp
Add Grit, Attitude & Personality
Gas Can Amp is for when subtle isn’t what the track needs.
Based on a rare little guitar amp known as The Can, it gives you a fast way to add gritty, lo-fi character that can completely change the personality of a sound.
And despite the name, it’s definitely not just for guitars.
Run drums through it for more dirt and aggression. Add edge and texture to bass. Give vocals, keys, synths, percussion, or even effects more attitude and personality.
Use it when a track needs:
- Grit and aggression
- Lo-fi texture
- Extra saturation and edge
- A sound that cuts through with more personality
Better Together
Forge and Gas Can Amp aren’t two versions of the same thing.
That’s the point.
Forge
Use Forge when you want warmth, depth, weight, and polished analog color.
Gas Can Amp
Reach for Gas Can Amp when you want something rawer, dirtier, and more aggressive.
And when a sound really needs some personality, try using both.
Together, they give you a much wider palette for turning clean, ordinary tracks into sounds that feel more exciting, distinctive, and finished.
