NastyDLA Released!

Bootsie’s classic chorus echo device VST plugin with tape-delay simulation, was released today!

NastyDLA, a freeware chorus/delay VST plugin by Bootsie.

I’ve had a quick run through the presets before making this post, and from what I’ve heard NastyDLA has certainly been worth the wait. It can sound both modern and vintage, and with moderate chorus settings it adds some lovely analog-ish coloration to the processed signal.
