The virus detection is a false positive. The developer discussed it here: https://github.com/brummer10/ToneTwistPlugs/issues/4

It is however annoying that Windows Defender keeps detecting it and quarantining it, so I set up some file exclusions and that solved it for me.

In reply to Ian / Nihil Quest. The MT-2 wasn't hated. People were just snobbish towards it, because it only did one thing (well): mid-scooped Metallica.

i love the metal zone. one of my favorite (plug) pedals, alongside the rat, and the centaur, for a little zing, going into the amp. i love the whistling overtone coating it creates.

never get the sheep mindset of so many that look at the calendar, see a certain shape of the characters we use to conventionally keep track of time, and decide – completely arbitrarily, in my view – something “no longer” sounds good, because of the shape of those characters. “it’s 2023, we don’t like this no more”. “that’s the 80s”. “that’s not “modern””, etc. that’s such a sheep mindset.

i mean, legitimately liking or disliking something, for esthetic reasons, is everybody’s right and prerogative, but these “trends” and “fashions”… blah.

thanks for the heads up on the pack. will try them. i actually need a good distortion for bass. i can’t find anything that sounds dense without actually distorting like crazy, which i never thought sounded good on bass.

v0.5 of the pack was released 30 minutes ago, the KVR links are currently outdated but I’m sure it’ll get fixed soon.

If you want the freshest of fresh lemon-scented plugins, just go to the GitHub release page:

Not that it matters a lot, but you don’t get the Swedish tone with Metal Zone, it’s a different pedal, Heavy Metal HM-2W. MZ was rather universally hated until recently.
