The Screamo Black Friday deal takes 60% off this distortion plugin from W. A. Production, with the price at $15.60 until Nov 29, 2026.
Screamo is a distortion VST that combines a talk-box effect and a screamer in one plugin. Screamo combines the vocal-formant sound of a talk box with the aggressive bite of a screamer, and it can lock in with the rhythm of your track.
Half of the interface is a waveform shaper that modulates resonant filters, distortion and gain, so you skip the routing and the juggling of multiple LFOs.
Two resonant shelving filters handle the Smear section. Used with restraint they give a talk-box-like effect, and pushed hard they turn into a full screamer.
Smear has 3 modes: upward, downward or two-way frequency modulation.
The Drive control runs from subtle saturation to extreme overdrive. It offers 3 distortion types: soft, medium and hard. The maker pitches it for making percussion loops crack or synths cut through the mix.
Smear, Drive and Makeup are synced together. That gives you tempo-synced scream effects without building the routing yourself.
The bottom row of Shape, Speed and Smooth dials designs the waveform that drives the three parameters on the top row. The maker says that covers everything from a slowly evolving talk-box effect to fluttering overdrive.
There are 5 sync modulation wave shapes with adjustable start points. The sync speed control offers straight, triplet and dotted rhythms.
The presets run from subtle saturation to wild overdriven rhythms. You can save your own settings as user presets too.
The level monitor and gain control are there for A/B comparisons, so you can match levels and judge what the processing is doing.
Screamo comes as a VST for Windows 8 or later, in 32-bit and 64-bit. On macOS 10.13 and later it comes as VST and AU, 64-bit only.
AAX format requires Pro Tools 11 or higher.
If you're on a Mac with Apple Silicon, the maker asks you to review the plugin's current compatibility status for your system before buying.
