reFX presents a remake of the famous Vanguard VST tool, which has a redesigned design and updated functions and also supports 64-bit capacity, which the predecessor Vanguard 1 could not boast of before.
Vanguard 2 offers 10 new oscillator options, improved original filters and two new filters. In addition, it is reported that the new product has updated all effects, including dilay, reverb, distortion and synchronized LFOs.
It is stated that in addition to the main large set of presets, another 136 presets have appeared, which allows the tool to be used for its intended purpose immediately after installation. The developer also claims full compatibility with projects where Vanguard 1 was previously used. Is it cool to open your old projects and enjoy the sound of your favorite plugin?
reFX Vanguard 2 is distributed in VST, VST3 and AAX 64-bit

Improved reverberation
The reverb in the original Vanguard sounded a little rattling, but we fixed it.
It's the same reverb as NEXUS5 (RutaVerb), and it sounds just as amazing
The new effect is distortionary
We've added a completely new distortion effect behind enhanced reverb to make your sounds scream.
It's so simple, but so powerful.
Ten new wave tables
Ten new wave tables open up unprecedented opportunities for Vanguard.
