Analog soul for your digital workflow

Smear Audio is a one-person plugin company from Finland, built on a simple obsession: guitar tones that feel alive.

Most guitar plugins capture hardware from the outside. We start from the circuit itself, simulating real components and their interactions — which is why our fuzzes clean up the way they do and our amps sag like their real-world counterparts when pushed hard.

Built by a guitarist. Priced for musicians. Made to make digital recording feel less digital.
