Key Features

  • Ten coordinated processors: Brick, Heat, Deck, Slab, Rig, Vice, Rig Vocal, Voodoo, Crank, and Bust

  • Dedicated modules for transformer tone, saturation EQ, tape character, low-end shaping, compression, vocal processing, and amp-and-room color
  • One installer delivers the full collection instead of separate per-effect downloads
  • AU and VST3 plug-in formats for macOS
  • Signed and notarized universal build for macOS 11 and later

Description

Old School Series is a ten-plugin macOS effects collection from iDigLabs, built around a deliberately connected analog-style signal chain rather than isolated emulations. The included processors cover transformer color, saturation EQ, tape, low-end enhancement, compression, vocal treatment, amp-and-room tone, and more destructive effects, so they can be combined from subtle conditioning through more obvious character work.

The lineup comprises Brick, Heat, Deck, Slab, Rig, Vice, Rig Vocal, Voodoo, Crank, and Bust. iDigLabs says the processors account for chain interactions such as transformer loading, cable capacitance, and the way one stage responds when it is driven into the next, giving the series a cohesive workflow for producers who prefer building a tone in stages.

AU and VST3 versions are supplied in one signed, notarized universal installer for macOS 11 and later. The developer lists a perpetual license with no expiry, no activation key, no feature-limited tier, and no developer account; the exact Payhip product page is the public checkout route for the download.

Frequently Asked Questions

What processors are included in Old School Series?

The collection includes Brick, Heat, Deck, Slab, Rig, Vice, Rig Vocal, Voodoo, Crank, and Bust. Their published roles span transformer processing, saturation EQ, tape, low-end enhancement, effects, compression, vocal treatment, amp-and-room tone, and experimental destruction.

Can I use the Old School processors independently?

Yes. The developer presents ten separate plug-ins in one installer, while also describing them as a collection designed to be used in series. That makes the collection suitable for choosing one processor at a time or arranging several into a longer tonal chain.

Does Old School Series need an activation key or developer account?

iDigLabs states that the collection has no key, no activation, and no account with the developer. The public Payhip page is used to start the download checkout.
