The first beat repeater built around three stutter engines in series — each with its own division, pitch, gate, and mix. One engine is an effect. Three is an instrument.
One pass through Chopped Salad. No other plugins, no editing. The original, then the chop.
Every beat repeater ever made gives you one stutter stage. Chopped Salad is the first to run three in series — and the variety isn't a preset list, it's combinatorial. Eighteen divisions, two octaves, and a gate on each engine, multiplied by three. The chops nobody else has aren't hiding in a menu. They're in the math.
18 divisions from 1/1 to 1/32 — straight, dotted, and triplet — locked to host tempo. Per-engine mix and bypass. Stack two engines and it grooves; stack three and it mutates.
Each engine can shift its repeats an octave up or down. Cascading pitched stutters out of the box — the trick that usually takes three plugins and a routing headache.
FREEZE locks the loop in its tracks for builds and drops. REFRESH recaptures in sync, so the chop always rides the beat. Both are one-button, both are automatable.
One LFO, assignable per engine. Wobble a division, pump a mix. This is the modulation the other beat repeaters forgot — and the reason your chops move instead of loop.
GATE for rhythmic cuts, internal SIDECHAIN duck so the dry punches through, FADE to soften repeats, full IN/OUT/MIX staging. The output is mix-ready, not a science experiment.
Built by ear, organized by job: basics, stacks, pitched cascades, modulation moves, and drop FX. Load one, hit play, sound finished. Then break it.
The plugins everyone compares us to are great. They're also priced like furniture.

Competitor list prices as published, 2026. Trademarks belong to their owners; we just like the comparison.
AU + VST3 — drop it in and go. If your DAW loads plugins, it loads this one.
Chopped Salad is $49.99, one time, yours forever. Or take the whole Ghost Audio catalog for $149.99 ($100 while we're in launch). No subscriptions, no fake sales.
Any DAW that loads VST3 or AU: Ableton Live, Logic Pro, FL Studio, Cubase, Studio One, Reaper, Bitwig, and more. Not Pro Tools: Pro Tools only loads AAX plugins, and we do not make an AAX build.
Yes — at launch, every paid pedal gets a free 10-day demo that's the full plugin, not a crippled teaser. Join the list below and you'll get it first.
No dongles, no always-online check. Install it on any computer you work on.
Those give you one stutter stage. Chopped Salad is the first beat repeater to run three in series, each with independent division, pitch, gate, and mix — plus FREEZE, synced REFRESH, and an assignable LFO. Serial stacking is the whole sound, and nobody else does it.
Try the free 10-day demo first — it's the full plugin, so you can hear exactly what you're buying. All sales are final after that, and if something's ever broken on our end, we'll make it right.
Launch news, the trial build, and one preset bank we're not selling. No spam — we make plugins, not newsletters.
