The free VST plugin version of Stereo Tool plays a short message ('This sound is processed by Stereo Tool') every couple of hours, but this limitation can be removed by registering Stereo Tool for only €35. The registered version also unlocks the Advanced Clipper feature. For full licensing details, check out the Stereo Tool registration page. The A-88MKII is supremely playable, with onboard creative tools for today's musicians and producers. Pro production for smartphone live streaming.
Overview
The bx_yellowdrive distortion pedal from Brainworx is an exacting plugin emulation of one of the most popular overdrive pedals ever made: The Boss SD-1®. Guitarists love the warm, smooth tube amplifier-like distortion and overdrive this pedal produces while responding authentically to picking technique. Unique, asymmetric overdrive circuitry delivers a genuine overdrive effect for a classic guitar sound. The tone control allows for different distortion flavors.
From subtle warming of clean tones to smooth overdrive effects, the bx_yellowdrive delivers classic sound to your DAW. Download the full function 14-day demo (no dongle required!) today to add this iconic overdrive to your tracks.

Killer 80’s distortion. Nailed it.Thanks a lot and enjoy your new tool!Classic, even better
This was my first Bx purchase. Sounds very authentic, in some way I found it even more musically sounding than the original.Oldschool
I used to own the actual Boss OD-1, untill it was stolen from me and I missed it ever since. When I bought my first virtual amp here, I also bought a couple of distortion pedals and I love these… Read Moreyellow diva!
