Mixwave has teamed up with ethereal guitar and math rock sensation Yvette Young for her first signature plugin.
The Mixwave: Yvette Young package is a faithful recreation of Young's signature sound, which relies heavily on hand-wired Vox AC30 combo amps . It's a simple one-amp-and-cabinet setup, bolstered by Alnico Blue and Greenback speaker options, with a range of mic selection options and Impulse Responses in place to maximize its mileage.
It comes fully loaded with nine pedals and effects, bringing Young's trick-filled pedalboard and live rig to the digital realm. There's an "immersive" reverb, "dark analog delay", and a harmonic tremolo, with a "classic analog-inspired chorus", and a compressor promising "exceptional sustain" also on offer.
The lot is rounded out with a modern-voiced overdrive, a "raw and reactive" fuzz pedal , and a synth-like octaver, while a lo-fi modulator – by far the most unique pick of the bunch – makes dialing in Young's most hazy and dreamy tones as easy as pie.

That pedal has been crafted to deliver a "warped and unpredictable character" which adds texture and movement to guitar signals, complete with Speed, Depth, Offset, and Mix controls, as well as Wave, Bright, and Sync mini-switches.
Players can rearrange their signal chain as they wish. But the collab hasn't called it quits there.
The plugin also benefits from a built-in EQ and compressor, a Transpose feature, plus controls for Focus, Contour, and Vibe, which smooth out harsh frequencies, provide "elegant" EQ-ing, and enhance top-end harmonics, respectively. And there's a tuner, of course.
"You can customize like crazy," Young says. "There's a whole lot to explore, and I'm just at the tip of the iceberg!"
The plugin is priced at $139 but is currently sold at the introductory price of $99, with a 14-day free trial for the tonally curious.
It joins Yvette's growing stable of signature gear, which currently includes her Ibanez Talman and Walrus Audio Qi Etherealizer pedal .

Elsewhere, Young recently discussed how she ended up in a Super Bowl commercial and the realities of going viral.
