There's a new, free overdrive pedal from Aurora DSP: GRIM3. It is a stomp effect from the This Heavy Earth Suite, which was unveiled at NAMM 2026.
An overview of GRIM3's key features:
- Precise low-end control before gain
- Low and high EQ shaping
- Blend control for dry/wet drive balance
- Bite control for midrange focus
GRIM3 is designed for tight, aggressive guitar sounds. It’s no coincidence that it’s part of a death metal guitar amp simulator.
The plugin can be used for a transparent clean boost, to warm up the sound, or as a saturated overdrive.
To download the plugin for Windows or macOS, you need an account with Aurora DSP.
