It's not hard to make things subtly more interesting, and if you want to completely destroy a sound, it does that too. Yes, I also listened to it, before anyone asks. The distortion itself creates more high-order harmonics than HG-2 or Kelvin (which I like), though they're very quiet.Īll that's technical. Most people aren't going to hear the flaws this causes (rolls off around 15k regardless of sample rate and oversampling), and even running it really hot probably won't cause serious problems even at 2x. The anti-aliasing filter is biased toward cutting off highs rather than allowing aliasing, which is a valid approach.
With the transformer switch on, you get a pretty big bass boost and much more complex distortion, still biased toward odd harmonnics as the sensitivity light moves away from green, and focused in the low-mids.
Turning it up makes the 3rd (octave + fifth) and 5th (2 octaves + major 3rd) much more apparent. The second harmonic mostly dominates as long as the sensitivity light is green. It gently boosts the top couple octaves without you touching the shelves, which dip into the midrange. It does some weird things with extreme lows that no one is really going to hear (it's below 10Hz) but might indicate it creating a DC offset (just something to be aware of and correct later, also implies it's a waveshaper). With the transformer switch off, it's mostly a general distortion plugin that isn't doing anything all that might just be a waveshaper. The only thing that jumps out at me is that it isn't loudness compensated, which means that it could just be simple clipping and gain.Īnyway.I installed the demo (man, I hate the way Waves does licensing/installs). I also hate Waves's licensing policies and am generally biased against them. So.IMHO the reviews are all suspect as far as I'm concerned, especially the ones from the big guys. 's another one of those things with early access and a review embargo.
