Tarabia MK1 – Indian Distortion plug-in:

  • It implements the famous Tarabia Indian Distortion algorithm (originally created in 2018).
  • This is a particular & original soft distortion that can increase the transients/shape.
  • Freeware version, fully functional & supported.

A brief of history

We have updated the famous Tarabia Distortion plugin edited in 2018 plug-in with:

  • a better user interface.
  • a better quality sound.
  • a better clipping.
  • a better knob values.
  • etc. :-).

Like the version edited in 2018, this version is free & fully supported.

It's called Tarabia MK1 and it is part of a new concept: Tarabia Nation, a set of different distortion plug-ins.

We are currently creating two other distortions; TaraTube & TaraLead.

They should be released soon.

Meanwhile, download & abuse of the new version, enjoy.

Really good tones.

In my opinion rather an overdrive than a distortion plugin, which I personally anyway find better. Nice, natural saturation and clipping, in my opinion better sounding than eg. a Tube Screamer or comparable units.

What I miss a little is some "British punch", like you get it eg. from an OCD, the tones here rather remind me of some American Tweed amps, which also is a nice choice.

Maybe a little bit similar to a Klon Centaur, very transparent tone, but maybe even more naturally sounding and reacting.

Amount does a good job, as it allows rounder, warmer tones without making them too muddy as well as sharper, more treble oriented ones, which also do not sound too shrill or harsh.

One of my favorite (free) amp plugins, which usually does not like overdrive/distortion pedals in front very much, also harmonizes well with this one.

The Dry/Wet control also is a good and useful idea.

I'm curious about the release of TaraTube and am hoping that it has a comparable good quality.
