Blue Cat AcouFiend

Blue Cat’s AcouFiend is an acoustic feedback simulator plug-in designed to give you full control over the feedback effect, making your guitars scream, growl, or sing—even at low volumes or when using headphones. With AcouFiend, you can simulate the classic “Larsen effect” that guitarists experience with loud amps and close proximity to speakers, but with complete precision and customization.

The plug-in allows you to trigger feedback selectively, either on sustained notes or chords, while also offering the ability to choose the main harmonic of the feedback and transpose it for more creative soundscapes. AcouFiend is highly versatile and can be applied to other instruments as well, such as synths or vocals, for unique sustained effects.

The plug-in supports full MIDI control, automation, and can be integrated smoothly with various DAWs thanks to its zero-latency performance and customizable interface.
