HoRNet HDS1 1.0.1 update

We are excited to announce the release of a new update for HDS1, our beloved classic guitar distortion plugin. With version 1.0.1, we’ve focused on addressing key issues reported by users, enhancing the stability, compatibility, and overall performance of the plugin. This update ensures that you can now rely on HDS1 more than ever in your production setup, whether you’re tracking guitars for a demo, mixing a full-length album, or just jamming in your home studio.

One of the most pressing issues affecting users of HDS1 was its tendency to crash unexpectedly on Windows systems. These random crashes disrupted creative sessions and caused unnecessary frustration. In this update, we’ve thoroughly investigated the problem and implemented a complete fix. As a result, HDS1 now runs smoothly and reliably, offering a more stable experience for all Windows users. You can now plug in, dial in your tone, and start creating music without worrying about software instability getting in the way.

Another major issue addressed in version 1.0.1 is the way HDS1 interacted with amplifier simulators in certain setups. Some users experienced signal chain conflicts or strange behavior when combining HDS1 with their favorite amp sims. This update corrects that, ensuring seamless integration between HDS1 and any amp simulator, whether it’s designed for heavy metal, vintage blues, or modern rock tones. Now, your signal path remains clean and consistent, allowing you to shape your distortion sound exactly how you want it—without technical limitations. This improvement gives you more flexibility when designing your tone. Whether you’re stacking distortion, driving amp sims for extra crunch, or layering HDS1 with cabinet impulses for a more complete sound, everything just works better and more predictably than ever before.

If you haven’t had the chance to use HDS1 yet, now is the perfect time to discover what makes it special. This plugin is designed to deliver authentic, rich, analog-style distortion that captures the essence of a classic high-gain pedal—perfect for rock, metal, punk, blues, and beyond. The HDS1 is known for its ability to cut through the mix with aggressive character and expressive tone. Whether you want to add just a touch of grit or push your guitar into full-on saturation, HDS1 gives you the controls and responsiveness to shape your sound with ease.

Its intuitive interface makes it easy to dial in your perfect tone. With just a few knob tweaks, you can move from warm, slightly broken-up textures to screaming leads and crushing rhythm tones. The plugin is also incredibly lightweight and efficient, meaning it won’t bog down your system, even in sessions with multiple instances or other demanding plugins. And let’s not forget its versatility. Although HDS1 was designed with guitarists in mind, it also works great on synths, drum loops, bass, or anything else you want to push into the red. That gritty character can bring life and attitude to a wide range of sounds in your mix.
