CLA Unplugged

Acoustic instruments play in an acoustic space, so enveloping them with a realistic ambiance is crucial to the mixing process. Chris Lord-Alge (Foo Fighters, Muse, Green Day, Bruce Springsteen) knows that glorious acoustic sounds require exquisite effect chains.

CLA Unplugged’s two lush reverbs (each with pre-delay), delay, bass/treble EQ, and compression give all acoustic instruments a luxurious polish—from realistic textures, to rich and dreamy.

“CLA Unplugged is a dream box of reverb effects plus great hi-res EQ and compression. I wanted a plugin you could put on acoustic guitars, piano, strings, nylon string solos… This plugin is designed to give you great reverb/delay possibilities for acoustic instruments plus the smoothest EQ curve around”—Chris Lord-Alge
