El Scochio! Get ready for some full on Saturation and distortion action! We have captured both the Pentode and Triode versions of this beast of a device. We've also captued the device using our brand new Series 2 technology, giving you the best analog distortion at a fraction of the price of the hardware. We think we did it again...... ;-)
so.....This one is not for the faint-hearted. The Distopik Audio Destruction Unit is based upon the famous REDD-47 tube microphone preamplifier circuit but sports Carnhill input and output transformers and packs both REDD's "in your face" high mids and a hint of that British signature weight in the low-mids.
An additional gain stage allows for a broad range of saturation tones, from subtle warmth all the way to guitar amp mayhem, while the Bias control in and four different drive circuit filters provide tone shaping.
The triode mode offers a warmer, fuller character, perfect for adding some content to the low-mids and make the kick/bass translate better to smaller speakers. When pushed into full overdrive, this is the sound of a guitar preamplifier - just add a cabinet IR!
The pentode mode is much more aggressive and present in the high mids. Use the filter settings to control low-end distortion and tame it with the LPF if it gets to harsh. The bias setting affects the nature of the harmonic content and the headroom for lowest frequencies, so play around with it to find the perfect balance of low-end solidity and saturation character for your material.
Amazing liquid analog saturation and distortion in your DAW, incredibly low CPU usage and latency so low you can track with this! Try it on Drums, Bass, Gtrs, Synths, Vocal FX... No matter the source these profiles have you covered.
