At its heart of the plugin is a hand-wired British-style combo amp that serves as the foundation of Young’s signature tone. The amp is paired with a matching cabinet section featuring Alnico Blue and Greenback speaker options, alongside an extensive impulse response library captured at MixWave Studios.
Users can further fine-tune their sound with a choice of 15 virtual microphones and adjustable placement options, offering everything from quick preset-based workflows to detailed studio-style tweaking.
The suite also includes nine of Young’s favourite effects, effectively bringing much of her pedalboard into the digital realm. Among them are reverb, analogue-style delay, harmonic tremolo, chorus, overdrive, fuzz, compression and octave effects, alongside a lo-fi modulator designed to capture some of her most dreamy and experimental textures.
Players are free to rearrange the signal chain to suit their workflow, while additional tools include built-in EQ and compression, a transpose feature, a tuner and tone-shaping controls labelled Focus, Contour, and Vibe.
According to Young, the plugin is designed to cater to both newcomers and obsessive tone chasers alike.
“What I love about this plugin is… if you just want to use a basic preset and tweak it a bit and not think about stuff like mic placement or whatever, it’s really great for people just wanting to enter the plug-in world and enter recording and get a great sound immediately,” says Young. “But what also is wonderful is for people who really care about being able to get granular things and tweak mic placement and tweak like EQ and just be really specific about your signal chain.”
“You can customize like crazy,” she adds. “There’s a whole lot to explore, and I’m just at the tip of the iceberg!”
The MixWave: Yvette Young is available now at an introductory price of $99 (U.P. $139). A 14-day free trial is also available.
