FITZ PHONE
Key Features
- Three voice-character modes cover telephone line, megaphone, and AM radio treatments in one plugin
- Telephone mode applies a 300 Hz to 3.4 kHz POTS-style band limit with midrange honk and gentle soft clipping
- Megaphone mode drives a narrow resonant mid band around 1.7 kHz for bullhorn-style bark
- AM Radio mode combines a wider band, amplitude-modulation tremolo, and dial-able static hiss
- Drive, Tone, Static, Mix, and Output controls keep filtering, grit, noise, blend, and level shaping on the front panel
- 4x oversampling reports its group delay to the host so DAW latency compensation can stay aligned
Description
FITZ PHONE is a macOS voice-character effect from ShamROCK Audio for making audio sound like it is coming through a telephone line, megaphone, or AM radio. It focuses on communication-style filtering and controlled grit rather than broad tape aging or general-purpose lo-fi wobble.
The three modes cover distinct signal paths. Telephone narrows the sound to a 300 Hz to 3.4 kHz POTS-style band, Megaphone pushes a resonant mid band around 1.7 kHz for bullhorn bite, and AM Radio adds a wider broadcast-style band with tremolo and adjustable static.
Its control set is built for quick voice and effect throws. Drive adds pre-filter soft saturation, Tone changes the top end and resonant mid focus, Static blends in filtered noise, Mix handles parallel processing, Output trims the final level, and the ON AIR switch works as a true bypass with a visual lamp.
Use it for vocal hooks, spoken-word drops, radio transitions, film and game sound design, or any moment that needs a source to feel smaller, more distant, or transmitted through old hardware. ShamROCK lists the plugin as a real no-subscription license with three seats, lifetime updates, and checkout-based delivery from the developer's own product page.
Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of processing does FITZ PHONE do?
It combines band-limiting, saturation, resonant mid shaping, static noise, and AM-style tremolo to create communication-device effects. The three main targets are telephone, megaphone, and AM radio voice treatments.
Is FITZ PHONE only for vocals?
No. The concept is voice-oriented, but the processing can also work on drums, guitars, synths, samples, and transition effects when you want a narrow, broadcast-style, or distant speaker tone.
How does the download flow work?
The developer page starts a $0.00 checkout for FITZ PHONE and says the license key is emailed after checkout. Audio Plugin Guy also reports that the free full license includes three transferable seats, offline activation, and lifetime updates.
Is a Windows version available?
Current public listings identify FITZ PHONE as a macOS plugin. Rekkerd and Audio Plugin Guy both state that Windows support is planned for a future release.
