Summary
PSP Wobbler is a modulation effect plugin inspired and developed in collaboration with Alan Parsons.

- Drive and Age controls for saturation and character
- Ageing modes affecting wet signal or both wet and dry signals
- Separate control of Feedback, thermal and voltage Drift, Phase, and stereo Spread
- Adjustable frequency range limits with EQ filters
- Tempo sync with options to follow tempo changes or remain fixed
