Carve Audio drops Gas Can Amp, inspired by Foo Fighters gear

A gritty little battery-powered amp tone from Foo Fighters' debut just landed inside every DAW as an easy-to-tweak plugin.

Carve Audio Gas Can Amp

• Carve Audio released Gas Can Amp to capture the buzzing distortion of the rare 1980s plastic-can amplifier.
• The plugin expands the original circuit with extra EQ and a built-in noise gate for modern mixes.

Signature sound

• Gas Can Amp delivers the raw, fizzy edge heard on the first Foo Fighters record.
• Users dial in overdriven bite on guitars, vocals, drums, or keys without hunting vintage gear.

Creator insight

• Barrett Jones engineered for Foo Fighters and praises how closely the plugin nails the character.
• Rare original units now fetch high collector prices and hardly ever appear on the market.

Launch details

• Gas Can Amp sells at twenty-nine dollars intro price until April 20, 2026, then jumps to forty-nine.
• Plugin runs in VST3, AU, and AAX on both Windows and macOS systems.
