DistCharge Distortion FX Suite Plugin
The Ultimate Saturation & Distortion Suite.
Six musically‑voiced distortion modules, chained in series, let you layer and blend the finest analog distortion characters ever put in a plugin — from silky tube warmth and reel‑to‑reel tape glue to aggressive diode clipping and West‑Coast wavefolding. Every module runs on its own frequency band with its own drive, blend and output, so you can build a distortion chain that's impossible with any single stompbox or saturator.
6 distortion modules, 1 signal chain
Each module is a self‑contained distortion stage with multiple hand‑tuned models. Run one, or stack all six for genuinely unique blends.
- Tube — vacuum‑tube warmth with rich even + odd harmonics. Warm Tube plus Analog Tube I / II / III for gently‑to‑heavily driven tube saturation.
- Tape — the sound of analog tape. Magnetic Tape models the physics of tape magnetization; Studio Tape adds a machine's head‑bump and high‑frequency roll‑off for authentic tape tone and glue.
- Transformer — iron‑core and console color. Console I–IV transformer/console voicings, plus UK 73 and UK 4K — the punch, weight and glue of classic large‑format mixing consoles.
- Soft Clip — smooth, program‑dependent saturation: Cubic, Sine and Tanh curves from a gentle sheen to firm limiting.
- Hard Clip — real diode‑clipper models: Diode I / II / III (germanium, silicon and LED) — from warm pedal grit to aggressive, high‑headroom clipping.
- Foldback — harmonically rich wavefolding: Triangle, Sine and West Coast folders for metallic, synth‑style textures.
Per‑module controls
- Type — choose the model / character for that module.
- In — drive into the nonlinearity (0 to +24 dB). More drive = more harmonics.
- Mix — phase‑coherent dry/wet blend (0–100%). At 0% the module is a true bypass — no phase smear, no comb filtering — so you can dial in parallel distortion with total control.
- Out — output/makeup level (−24 to +24 dB) to match levels as you push harder.
- Frequency Band — a dual‑handle low/high selector (20 Hz – 20 kHz) that restricts each module's distortion to just the range you choose. Grit only the low mids, fold only the highs, saturate only a vocal band — true multiband distortion, per module.
Master section
- Low Cut / High Cut — clean up the extremes before and after the distortion chain.
- Tone — a bright ↔ dark tilt EQ that voices the whole suite around 700 Hz.
- Focus — a pre‑distortion high‑shelf that feeds hotter highs into the modules, changing what gets distorted for extra presence and bite.
- Oversample — Off / 2× / 4× oversampling with anti‑derivative anti‑aliasing (ADAA) for clean, alias‑free distortion even when driven hard.
- Magnitude display clip metering to see exactly what your distortion is doing.
250 factory presets
Hit the ground running with 250 professionally‑designed presets — organized by character and source (vocals, drums, bass, guitar, synth, master bus and more) plus creative and multiband patches. Browse instantly with next/previous, save your own, and recall everything exactly as you left it.
Built for your studio
- MIDI Learn — assign any hardware controller to any parameter in seconds.
- Fully resizable, high‑resolution interface with real‑time per‑module waveform previews.
- Phase‑coherent, low‑aliasing DSP that stays clean from subtle color to total destruction.
- Formats: VST3, AU and AAX, plus a Standalone app — macOS and Windows, 64‑bit.
Subtle glue or complete carnage — DistCharge is six great distortions in one, on your terms.
