Why use it

What it doesDistortion on one knob - from edge to full breakup.

Reach for it whenDrums and vocals that need attitude fast. Sound design when you want it ruined.

What makes it differentFree. The ghost on the panel reacts to how hard you are driving it.

Two knobs. Pure rage. That's the whole plugin.

Drive it until it breaks up, set the output, move on. No modes, no menus,

nothing to read. Free, forever.

WHAT'S NEW IN 1.6.2

· Make-up gain over-compensated at Drive 1. The 4x reconstructed peak went from 1.268 to 1.017, and Drive at minimum from 2.232 to 0.885.

· Preset output levels re-matched (Warm Push 0.839, Angry 1.073, Furious 0.966).

· The plug-in reported itself internally under the wrong product name.

· Fixed a crash that could bring the host down: closing the plug-in window and then removing the plug-in left a timer running on freed data.

· Licence activation fixed: a bundle key now counts one activation per computer instead of one per plug-in, so one key covers five machines as stated.

· Rebuilt, re-signed and notarized for macOS (Universal) and Windows.
