Unleash Warmth, Grit, and Character with Safari Pedals Gorilla Drive Plugin

Looking to inject rich analog saturation and unique sonic character into your mixes? Discover the Safari Pedals Gorilla Drive, a powerful and easy-to-use overdrive and preamp emulation plugin designed to bring life and attitude to any audio source.

The Gorilla Drive delivers a super soft preamp emulation combined with smooth Germanium overdrive, providing a warm, vintage-style saturation that adds depth and presence. It's crafted to be a gentle yet highly effective tool for adding color and harmonics. While it doesn't aim for polished effects, its bold and unmistakable character is perfect for those seeking a dirtier, slightly weird, and truly unique sound.

Key Features to Ignite Your Creativity:

• Unique Tone Tilt EQ: Sculpt your sound effortlessly with the distinctive Tone knob, which seamlessly shifts from boosting deep, warm low-end and subs to emphasizing crisp, shiny high frequencies. It's like a "banana crazy" tone shifter that offers a wide range of coloration options.
• Input Drive & Output Trim: The Input and Output knobs offer different drive flavors, allowing you to combine them in unique ways to achieve your desired "gorilla funk" and create accurate, fluffy harmonics. Drive the input for more saturation and adjust the output to manage levels.
• Blend Knob: Easily mix the saturated "wet" signal with your original "dry" signal to enhance sustain and saturation without losing the dynamics of your source.
• Auto Gain: Focus on dialing in the perfect tone while the Auto Gain function automatically adjusts the output level to match the input, helping you maintain consistent monitoring levels and prevent ear fatigue.
• Phase Button: A simple 180-degree phase flip function is included, perfect for use with a parallel "clean" channel.
• Simple & Intuitive GUI: With just a few knobs, the plugin is incredibly easy to use, allowing you to dial in great tones very quickly and stay focused on the creative process.

Bring Your Tracks to Life:

The Gorilla Drive is a versatile tool for adding grit and raw power to various audio sources. Many users find it excellent for adding weight and character to drums (kicks, snares, high hats) and basslines, making weak sounds knock harder and giving them feel, saturation, and harmonics. It can also sound great on vocals and electric guitars, making sounds less muddy, more clear, and transparent, or adding body and focusing the mid-range. Its sound design capabilities make it a fantastic tool for creating completely unique sounds from scratch.

The Gorilla Drive plugin is available in VST3, AU, and AAX formats for both macOS (10.15+) and Windows (64-bit, Windows 8 & Above). It requires a 1 GHz Intel Dual Core or AMD equivalent processor and 4GB of RAM. Installation is simple, though Windows users may need to manually place files in the correct VST3/AAX folders. Each license allows use on up to 3 computers.
