Welcome
Welcome to CamelCrusher!
CamelCrusher is a versatile 'colouring' multi-effect.
It offers two characteristically different distortion sounds which can be blended together to
create a wide variety of tones and textures. Great for guitars, drums and plenty more!
There's also a warm, smooth analogue-style low-pass filter, with buckets of resonance.
Assign a MIDI controller and start tweaking!
Finally, let's not forget the easiest-to-use compressor you'll find anywhere. It can 'phatten'
up your sound as quickly as you can turn up the 'Amount' knob!
Best of all, CamelCrusher is available free of charge!
We hope you will enjoy it.

• Warm, analogue-modelled resonant low-pass filter.

If you like CamelCrusher, you'll love CamelPhat 3!
CamelPhat is the ultimate 'phattening' processor. A powerful 'colouring' multi-effect that's
been specially engineered to work wonders on guitar, bass and drums, adding warmth,
punch and presence wherever they're required.
Four characteristically different distortion effects are included, which can be used
separately or blended together to create an endless variety of tones.
The unique 'Magic EQ' enhances the low end like nothing else – it's the perfect kick drum
sweetener!
Add to that an easy-to-use analogue-modelled compressor, three resonant filters, two
LFOs and an envelope follower, and you've got one seriously phat package!
