What it does
D16 calls Godfazer "the Swiss army knife of modulation effects." It combines an ensemble section and two multi-mode filters, each driven by flexible modulators, so it can act as a chorus, rotary speaker, tremolo, phaser, auto-pan or step-sequenced filter.
- Ensemble module: 22 effect types including choruses, rotary speaker emulations, tremolos and auto-panners, with Speed and Depth controls.
- Two multi-filters: each with 40 filter types, including dual shelving EQs, low/high/band-pass, formant and phaser models.
- Dual modulators: each can be Constant, LFO (6 waveforms, tempo sync, stereo phase), Peak Follower (attack, decay, sensitivity) or a 16-step tempo-synced Step Sequencer.
- Routing: six topologies for serial and parallel signal flow, 64-bit internal processing with three quality settings.
- Extras: over 100 factory presets, MIDI Learn and a resizable HiDPI interface.
The current version is 1.2.3, at sample rates of 44.1 kHz and up.

When to use it
Godfazer sits between single-purpose modulation plugins such as Soundtoys PhaseMistress, Eventide Instant Phaser Mk II and D16's own Syntorus 2, and do-everything tools like Cableguys ShaperBox 3. Choose it when you want chorus, rotary, tremolo and filter-phaser effects stacked and modulated in one window; stick with a dedicated phaser or chorus when you want one classic sound quickly, or ShaperBox 3 for drawn envelope shapes.
- Best for: moving synth pads and chords, rotary and tremolo on keys and guitars, and rhythmic step-sequenced filtering on loops.
- Genres: electronic, ambient, indie and lo-fi, anywhere motion is part of the sound.
- Look elsewhere if: you want a simple one-knob chorus or a faithful single hardware emulation.
- Standout: the combination of a 22-type ensemble module with two 40-type filters and six routing options.
