v1.0.0-beta — What's new ▾
  • Multi-stage amp chain: Pre-EQ → soft preamp clip → tone stack → hard power clip → cabinet — not a single shaper
  • TIGHT knob — pre-distortion high-pass keeps palm mutes tight, never flubby
  • Rich, un-scooped mids (700 Hz–2 kHz driven into the clipper) keep power chords readable
  • Cabinet low-pass tames 5–8 kHz fizz; 1st-order ADAA on both clip stages + 4× oversampling
  • Drive, Tone, Tight, Mix — modern-metal voicing, transparent at Drive 0

Requirements

  • macOS 13 Ventura or later
  • Apple Silicon (arm64) — Intel / Windows coming later
  • ✅ Standalone app (BLOOD.app) — A minor chord test tone
  • ✅ AU (Audio Unit v3) — GarageBand, Logic Pro, REAPER, Ableton Live
