01Overview

VYBZ 2 Standard is built for producers who want finished-sounding character effects without wiring up a rack. Its seven effects are arranged in a fixed chain and set up to sound complete as soon as a preset is loaded. The plugin covers vinyl and tape textures, multiple reverb types, a stereo echo, drive circuits, era-based tone and wobble, stereo width and a two-band EQ. Thenatan Audio positions it for lofi, trap, R&B, ambient and vocal work, and it includes 256 factory presets across 16 categories.

Seven Effects and Preset Workflow

Every effect sits on one screen, with no tabs or hidden pages. Texture, III Verb, Echo, Damage, Time Machine, Motion and II Band are arranged side by side, and an effect that is switched off uses no CPU.

The 256 factory presets are grouped into 16 categories, including Lofi, Trap, R&B, Vocals, Drums and Pads, and each category runs from subtle to hard. Thenatan Audio says every preset is level-checked against bypass, so the comparison focuses on the effect rather than on volume.

The dice feature rolls a new setting built from your current one. You can lock individual effects out of the roll and choose how far it goes, from Subtle to Wild.

Reverb, Delay and Drive Options

III Verb offers three reverb types, a smooth space, a classic plate and a shimmer mode, plus 25 impulse-response spaces ranging from small rooms to large halls. Freeze turns the tail into a sustained pad.

Echo is a stereo delay with separate left and right times, dotted and triplet values, and a built-in ensemble chorus before the repeats. Damage provides six drive circuits, including Tape, Valve, Amp and Fuzz, with a Mix ring for parallel saturation and bit-depth reduction down to 2 bits.
