What God Mode does
The plugin is built around a node EQ graph. Each frequency range is first pushed harder into the saturation algorithm, which makes that range more affected by the distortion, and then a second control decides how much pull is applied to the boosted frequencies. The developer describes the result as a saturated signal colored according to the frequencies that were pushed. The approach is inspired by the push-pull method of the Pultec EQ, which sent boosted frequencies through a tube circuit and added warmth to the range.
The plugin offers a live recording mode that uses regular filters without latency in place of linear phase filters. Individual dry/wet panning, a side-tape side chain for rhythmic drive effects and a Tape Analog VM algorithm described as an on-steroids version of the Bad Tape setting are also included.
Key features
- Push and pull graph. A node EQ graph sets the bands that are pushed into saturation, and a second control sets how much pull is applied to them.
- Linear phase filters. Linear phase filters shape the coloration, and dry/wet mixing is kept in phase for a clean result.
- Live recording mode. A live mode swaps the linear phase filters for regular filters that add no latency.
- Side-tape side chain. A side chain drives rhythmic distortion effects tied to the input signal.
- Individual dry/wet panning. The dry and wet signals can be panned separately from each other.
- Tape Analog VM algorithm. Three drive effects use an on-steroids version of the Tape Analog VM algorithm, from subtle mastering saturation to heavy distortion on bass.
Compatibility
Minimum requirements are macOS 10.7 and Windows 7, and native support for Apple Silicon is listed.
Who it is for
The plugin suits sound designers and mix engineers who want frequency-specific saturation on single instruments, buses or masters, and who want a live mode for recording.
