Creative Multi-Effects System
The Soundtoys Effect Rack is a one-stop-shop for all your multi-effects needs. With this powerful plugin, you get access to a curated collection of 15 Soundtoys effects – all in one place. You’ll have access to the brand-new SuperPlate reverb, the dynamic EchoBoy and PrimalTap delays, and the essential Decapitator and Radiator saturation effects. Plus, there are versatile rhythmic modulation and filtering effects like Tremolator and FilterFreak.
Its self-contained design means that you can use it as a standalone plugin in your DAW, or you can integrate it with other Soundtoys plugins to unlock even more creative possibilities. This versatile and easy-to-use tool gives you the power to create unique sounds and textures and experiment with unconventional effects combinations. With its intuitive interface and comprehensive controls, the Soundtoys Effect Rack is an essential addition to any musician or sound designer’s toolkit.
The Effect Rack includes:

Get inspired with hundreds of carefully crafted presets that let you quickly try out new ideas.
Dive into Effect Rack’s conveniently categorized presets to find the perfect combination of Soundtoys effects for your track. Choose from effect chains tailored to instruments like guitar, vocals, and drums. Or explore the Sound Design, Spaces, and Modulation categories to try out some left-field sonic ideas that will take you in a completely new direction.
Drag. Drop. Experiment.
Effect Rack makes it easy to experiment with different combinations of effects and discover unique sounds. Because Effect Rack is a self-contained plug-in, you can also easily save a custom effect chain and add it as an insert or send effect in any supported DAW on Mac or PC.
Global controls let you treat your custom rack as a single powerful effect.
Lock rhythmic effects to a single tempo, or let them run free. Fine-tune the input and output levels, and use the global mix control to blend your effect with the dry signal. Then experiment with the powerful global Recycle control. By mixing the output of the rack back into the input, you can build your own modulated reverbs, over-the-top delays, and other unique ambiance effects.
What’s the difference between Effect Rack and the Soundtoys 5 Bundle?
Effect Rack is a single multi-effects plug-in that gives you access to many of our most powerful effects like EchoBoy and Decapitator. The Soundtoys 5 bundle includes Effect Rack but also has an even wider selection of effects, all of which can be used as individual plug-ins.
Soundtoys Effect Rack Highlights
- Includes 15 premium effects in one plug-in
- Stack effects to create custom effect chains
- Use global controls to treat your chain as a single effect
- Blend in subtle parallel effects with the Mix control
- Create unique ambiance effects with the Recycle control
- Save and recall effect chains easily in different DAWs
I have been using the Effect Rack from Soundtoys experimenting with EchoBoy going into Decapatator for some interesting distorted vocal delays. Try a FilterFreak after for some nice variations!

We cannot guarantee support if you are using a supported host platform listed above on an operating system or computer that is not supported by the host platform itself. Please visit your DAW’s website or manual to ensure you are using a compatible system.
If your DAW is not on the list above, it doesn’t necessarily mean that our plug-ins won’t work. It just means that it has not been tested.

32-Bit Plug-in Support
With the release of 5.3.2, we have officially discontinued support for 32-bit plug-ins. With macOS Catalina requiring all applications to be 64-bit, and with the vast majority of our PC customers using 64-bit plug-ins, we decided it was the right time to end 32-bit support. Our most recent 32-bit installers are available to download below.
