HZE Pedal Lab (Mac & Windows)

HZE Pedal Lab is a laboratory of 28 original virtual guitar effect pedals in a single plugin. It combines the developer’s Pedal Series Vol. 1 (8 pedals) and Vol. 2 (9 pedals) with 9 brand-new pedals — all original designs, not emulations. Load up to 5 pedals into one chain, reorder them freely, and many pedals combine several stages, so one chain can equal 10+ effects.

HZE Pedal Lab — 28 Experimental Guitar Pedals in One Plugin

HZE Pedal Lab is a laboratory of 28 original virtual guitar effect pedals in a single plugin from HZE Audio. It combines the developer’s Pedal Series Vol. 1 (8 pedals) and Vol. 2 (9 pedals) with 9 brand-new pedals — all original designs, not emulations of existing hardware. Load up to 5 pedals into one chain, reorder them freely, and many pedals combine several processing stages, so a 5-pedal chain can equal 10+ effects at once.

What’s Inside

• 28 pedals: Backverse (reverse buffer delay), Bitstream (modulated grain & spectral), Chaos Patterns (stutter/glitch), Dreamphase (psychedelic atmosphere), Explorer (granular space), Loopbox (dual-channel loop), Stepshifter (pitch & speed), Supercolor (VHS tape degradation & spectral gate), A-12 (vintage tape processor), Cycles (granular buffer freezer), Dark Void (experimental spatial), Heatwave (dub delay & saturation), F-22, King Of, Partikles, Phzer, Memory Sketch, Data Rator, Reverse Echo, Mod, Warped Field, Chorus, Data Bender, Quality Control — and more.
• Offline Prompt Engine: type a plain-words description (“dreamphase wash through deep space reverb with tape echo”) and it builds a matching pedal chain. Runs entirely on your system — nothing is sent to the cloud.
• Controlled randomness: randomize the pedal combination, or keep the chain and randomize only the parameters. Full reset available.
• 2 LFOs on every pedal — waveform, rate, depth, polarity, phase; tempo-synced or free-running; “Fusion” blends both LFOs.
• 650+ presets: 250+ factory/producer presets plus 400+ bonus presets, including a dedicated set for every individual pedal.
