TAPE WEAR & DEGRADATION UNIT
Put on your SPF50 and meet SUNBURN. Four flavors of SCORCH, tape wear and seasick wobble in one instant-vibe machine. Chuck it on drums, vocals, guitars, keys or bass for those immediate “damn, that’s it” moments. From a little warmth to chorusy-flangey grossness and full-on destruction. Imperfect, a touch ugly, and plenty of fun because of it.
AU + VST3 / APPLE SILICON + X86 INTEL MAC / WINDOWS IS ON THE WAY
DESCRIPTION.
- FOUR WAYS TO BRING THE HEATFour distinct SCORCH modes, all with 4× oversampled saturation. From gentle color to properly cooked.
- TUBE AMPWarm, rounded drive that turns into amp-like grit.
- MAGNETICTape-style saturation that softens peaks and darkens the sound.
- CONSOLEPunchy, mid-forward drive with a harder edge.
- WRECKEDStarved-power fuzz for deliberately broken sounds.
- 54 PRESETS + A ROLL OF THE DICEGuitar/keys, drums, vocals, bass, mix bus and classics. Step through with the arrows, or roll a fresh combination.
- YOUR SCORCH. YOUR AGE. YOUR WOBBLE.Choose each model independently, then dial in the amount. Build your own combination of color, wear and wonk.
- INPUT / OUTPUT TRIM + LINKPush INPUT for more SCORCH. LINK counterbalances OUTPUT as you drive harder, without moving your chosen MIX.
- DAMAGE + RESPONSIVE NOISEDropouts, chewed-up edges and familiar hum, with PRE or POST noise routing.
- KEEP THE CLEAN. BLEND THE MESS.Use MIX for parallel saturation, or blend in WOBBLE for chorus and flange-like colors.

WHO IS BIG BOY AUDIO?
Big Boy Audio is a Californian audiolab making fictional noise machines from a forgotten time, brought back into the modern world. We lean 'Desert-Industrial Americana', modelling old rack gear, broadcast equipment and forgotten utility boxes, and strive to turn them into simple tools with a little lore and a backstory, built to put the character back in your hands. Easy to use. Properly considered. A little imperfect, as it should be.
THE SUNBURN SAMPLER.
Run through the sampler for a few places SUNBURN likes to live: warm, worn, unstable, or just a little sun-struck.
From warm, wonky funk to hazy psych-pop, left-field electronics and shoegaze, SUNBURN moves through a world akin to the artists we all know and love, whose seasick music fills a wavy void in the musical landscape. It gets you into that same world of color, wobble and beautifully imperfect texture, with a few twisty turns of its own.
AAX + PC.
NEW MACHINES.
OTHER NEWS.
