Elements: Distort

WAVESHAPER

Drive 

— Acts as a pre-amp, in that it boosts the volume level of the input signal before the 

distortion algorithm is applied to the signal. 

Distortion Type

 — Toggles between the 6 different distortion types. 

DISTORTION TYPES

 

Hard Clip

 — Amplifies and hard-clips the audio signal. 

Hyperbolic

 — Amplifies and the audio signal before running it through a hyperbolic saturator.

 

Sine

 — Amplifies and the audio signal before running it through a sinusoidal saturator. 

Foldback

 — Amplifies the audio. Audio signals which exceed the threshold are then reflected 

back down in the threshold axis. 

Rectify

 — Inverts negative audio signal values so they become positive, and blends this 

signal with a low-pass filtered version of the original signal. Identical to the ‘Rectify’ algorithm 
in our Mutagen Rack Extension. 

Digital Stomp

 — A unique kind of digital distortion, perfect for recreating those old-school 

video game sound FX of yore.

 

Hard Rectify

 — Inverts negative audio signal values so they become positive. Unlike the 

‘Rectify’ algorithm described above, this is a “pure” rectifying distortion that gives a 
considerably less rubbery sound.

 

Warmth

 — A subtle drive control that works identically to the saturation algorithm in our 

Relapse Rack Extension, only now with added pre and post-EQ functionality. 

Arctan

 — Amplifies and the audio signal before running it through a arctan saturator.
