Roger Linn's Adrenalinn III is one of the most creative and interesting guitar effects boxes in the world today. It's able to produce the most mind boggling delay and beat syncing effects all designed by the man who created the Linn drum machine back in 1979 which essentially gave birth to the sampled drum machine. Many moons later he re-emerged with this weird guitar effects box which also has built in guitar amp models and all sorts of wonderful jiggery pokery. I really fancied one but i'm not into hardware effects any more and there seemed to be loads of stuff in the box that I didn't need - i just wanted his amazing beat synced rhythms. Well, into my inbox this morning popped an email from Roger announcing the release of the plug-in version called Adrenalinn Sync which contains all the wonderfully delay stuff and none of the extras - perfect! Plus it's only $99, plus it's available for a 14 day trial download - flipping ace!



Now the bad news. First of all although it supports AU, RTAS and VST it has to be run with an environment called Pluggo from Cycling '74 which is kind of a plug-in development system, and Pluggo does not play nice with Cubase. Secondly it's currently Mac only, running on OSX which is a complete disaster from my point of view. I got as far as the download page before my hopes were dashed, but it's true. Well i hope you Mac based Logic and Pro Tools users have a really rotten time! I guess the rest of us will just have to wait.

You can find out why it's simply the best plug-in ever here:
