Description

Distiller

Shape. Saturate. Transform.

From the moment guitarists discovered that an overdriven amp could become an instrument in itself, distortion has been one of the defining tools of sound design. Likewise, filters have remained the cornerstone of shaping timbre ever since the earliest subtractive synthesizers.

Distiller brings these two essential sound-design tools together in a modern, highly creative effects processor. Combine 15 distinctive distortion algorithms with 29 versatile filter types, then animate them with independent LFOs for movement that ranges from subtle and musical to wildly experimental.

What makes Distiller unique is its ability to morph seamlessly between two different distortion algorithms while simultaneously modulating both the distortion blend and filter cutoff with separate LFOs. The result is an effect capable of continuously evolving textures, animated harmonics, rhythmic motion, and sounds that traditional distortion plugins simply can’t create.

Whether you’re cleaning up frequencies, adding warmth and saturation, designing aggressive basses, creating lo-fi character, or exploring experimental wavefolding and modulation, Distiller adapts to your workflow.

Features

29 Filter Types

A comprehensive collection of filter models for both classic and modern sound shaping.

Low-Pass & High-Pass

• 6 dB 1-Pole
• 12 dB Cascade
• 12 dB & 24 dB SVF Classic
• 12, 24, 36 & 48 dB SVF Precise

Band-Pass, Notch & All-Pass

• 12 dB & 24 dB SVF Classic
• 12, 24, 36 & 48 dB SVF Precise

Filter Models

• SVF Classic adds passband gain as resonance increases for a vintage-inspired character.
• SVF Precise maintains a consistent passband level regardless of slope for transparent, predictable filtering.

15 Distortion Algorithms

From subtle analog warmth to aggressive digital mangling.

• Atan Saturation
• Soft Distortion
• Soft Clip
• Hard Clip
• Asym Quad
• Exp Asym Dist
• Exponential Dist
• Sine Fold
• Sine Power Fold
• Sine Atan Fold
• Triangle Fold

• Bit Reduction

Blend any two algorithms together using the dedicated Mix control for continuously variable hybrid distortion.

Creative Modulation

Bring your sound to life with two independent LFOs.

• Dedicated LFO for filter cutoff
• Dedicated LFO for distortion blend
• 7 waveforms:
  • Sine
  • Triangle
  • Square
  • Ramp Up
  • Ramp Down
