The Struggle for Authentic Reggae Sound
Every reggae and dub music producer knows that getting the right sound isn’t just about hitting the right notes—it's about creating a vibe that resonates with the soul of the genre.
But there are hurdles along the way that can disrupt even the most passionate artist's flow. That's where Le Skank steps in.
But there are hurdles along the way that can disrupt even the most passionate artist's flow. That's where Le Skank steps in.
Traditional plugins often fall short when it comes to the iconic reggae guitar rhythm.
The characteristic 'chop' of the skank guitar, which is pivotal in reggae music, is notoriously difficult to replicate with conventional audio software.
Producers are frequently left with sounds that are less authentic and more synthesized, lacking the soulful vibe that defines the genre.

An ideal addition to your guitar plugin collection.Lloyd Brown
Thank you Matt
Lloyd Brown’s review above is exactly in line with my own thoughts.
All Matt’s instruments sound just how you want them to, are great value, and the variations inside each are all wide-ranging and usable.
I am really exited about where the next developments will go.Neil Bloomer
Pretty Darn Good
I play guitar but I don't really enjoy tracking guitar because of the time it takes me to nail a good performance and oftentimes I'm not even sure what chords I'll be ultimately playing when I'm still in the process of exploring and building my riddims.
Le Skank solves this problem.
With a little tweaking, you can get a production-quality skank that I doubt many people would catch that it's not a live performance. I've used it several songs I've produced and I really do love this plugin.
I will say that I can't get a good "chaka" out of it but maybe some can figure it out. I now use my own samples most of the time I still do use it.
Great job by Soundfingers.rheif

Really happy with it
This Reggae Guitar VST actually creates a pretty realistic chank or chhhhka that will blend into your reggae mixes really well.
Really happy with it and everything you can do to shape the sound of it.
Obviously doesn’t quite beat the real thing because you can articulate the performance but if just need a disciplined channka or chhhhka to fill out the riddim section.Michael Abang
Customer service was good
Customer service was good. Have alread created a couple of reggae tunes using the VST.

If there’s something we haven’t covered, just drop us a note – we’re here to assist!
Are your products compatible with apple silicon computers?
Yes, all of our plugins are compatible with the Apple Silicon chipped Mac computers. That means all of the plugins will work natively without using Rosetta.

The Demo version is the same as the full version, except that :
Sound stops after 1 hour
Saving presets is disabled
Previous work is not recalled on project opening
Do you store my credit card information?
No. We never see your credit card information, since it is all handled by PayPal or Stripe (World’s Famous well known Credit Card Processor).
Do you offer refunds?
We unfortunately cannot refund products that have been purchased for several reasons (no matter downloaded or not). Our watermarking system generates unique serial/license numbers per download and would make a resale impossible. Furthermore there is no way to prevent unauthorized re-use once it’s been downloaded.
