What Pyros does
The plugin places a low-cut filter before the distortion stage, so low frequencies can be removed before they reach the clipper. A bipolar envelope follower tracks the input level and can modulate the drive. Hard and soft clipping modes switch the character of the distortion, and input, output and mix controls set the level and balance of the processed signal. Input and output metering show the signal at each stage.
The developer states the distortion was programmed to fit both vintage and modern music styles, and the release circulates as a repack with the same keygen and serial key queries attached to the name.
Key features
- Pre distortion low cut. A low-cut filter sits before the distortion stage, removing low frequencies so the clipper receives less bass content.
- Bipolar envelope follower. An envelope follower tracks the input level in both polarities, providing a control signal for the processing.
- Hard and soft clipping. The clipping stage can be set to hard or soft, changing how the signal is limited.
- Input, output and mix. Input, output and mix controls set the level going into the distortion, the level leaving it and the balance between dry and processed signal.
- Input and output metering. Meters show the level at the input and at the output of the plugin.
