Safari Pedals is the creation of Noam Levinberg. With over 15 years of experience in the studio as an audio engineer, Levinberg sought to develop tools that cater to his passion for vintage tones with simple, pedal-inspired tools that encourage experimentation and playfulness.
A bit of background about myself. I am a prolific songwriter and music producer. The more I record and produce, I am always looking for a more organic and vintage sound, as most of my influences come from the 60’s and 70’s. Abbey Road Studios would be a good place to start and it is no surprise I have Chandler TG2 and REDD 47 preamps in my studio.
So when I heard about the fact that these Safari pedal plugins are very much geared towards vintage-inspired sounds, I jumped at the chance to give them all a run-through.
Safari Pedals’ product line includes the Everything Bundle, which features 11 plugins, most of which are reverb-based (but don’t be fooled by thinking this bundle is a one-trick pony), and also includes compressors, EQs, and other effects.
Key things to know:
- Safari Pedals plugins aim to capture the warmth and character of vintage analog gear
- Most plugins cost $32-38 individually, with bundle pricing available
- Available formats: VST3, AU, AAX for Mac & Windows
- 14-day free demos available for all plugins
Now make yourself a cuppa (coffee if you’re like Agent Cooper) and read on to find out how these plugins are way more versatile than meets the eye in our Safari Pedals review…
