The world's first circus amp. Your guitar goes in, the circus comes out.
CLOWN listens to your guitar in real time and turns every note into a wheezing, whistling, gloriously goofy circus organ. It follows chords, bends and vibrato, with no MIDI pickup needed. Plug in, play, and watch the clown grin light up.
VST3: drop CLOWN.vst3 in your VST3 folder. Standalone: double-click CLOWN.exe. Then honk. Install help · See the show ↓

Slide-whistle scoops, drunken wobbles and a wah-wah.

Eight sounds ready to fire between riffs:
The sideshow
And more!
Under the red nose there's serious engineering.
