Baby Audio Super VHS Six unique one-knob VHS FX

A ‘lofi flavor’ beast.

As kids of the 80s we have always been drawn to the sound of slightly out-of-tune synths, warm tape saturation, gritty samples and grainy reverbs. So we set out on a mission to capture the lofi spirit of our favorite decade — and bring it into a new decade.

Meet a complex algorithm with eight simple knobs. We named it ‘super’ for its powers and ‘vhs’ for its sound.

Features.

Six unique ‘one-knob’ effects inspired by the vhs-era.

• static — static noise generated by an internal synthesizer
• heat — ‘analog tape’ saturator inspired by consumer-grade tape machines
• shape — sample rate reducer inspired by 1980s 8-bit samplers
• magic — widening fx inspired by the juno chorus, but darker and deeper
• drift — pitch fluctuation lfo for unpredictable time and pitch shifting
• wash — ‘bad hall’ reverb inspired by budget friendly 1980s rack units

Rewind to the vhs-era.

We wanted this plugin to be like sending your sounds back in time, then re-discovering them on a worn-out vhs tape 30 years later. All with the click of a single button, right inside your daw.

The result is six unique effects coming together in a versatile channel strip. Super vhs will add some lo-fi authenticity to whatever clean sound you run through it — especially as you mix and match the effects. Each effect has just a single control, but multiple parameters under the hood, allowing for a wide range of results.
