Devastor

Devastor is a simple remarkable Multiband Distortion Unit. Devastor consists of three blocks: dynamic-gain module, diode-clipper distortion, and three filter sections. Each of the filters can process the signal before or after the diode-clipper. The filters are not the peaking EQ type which are used in classic multiband distortion, they are like those found in analog synthesizers (low pass, high pass, band pass and band reject) with adjustable resonance and cutoff. As a result, Devastor has a completely unique sound. Devastor can used to distort and enhance a wide range of sounds - From full-on acid synth sounds to guitar fuzz or analog amp with combo speaker. It can even be used with drums to make them sound more dirty and dynamic. It can also be used subtlety to improve the timbre and character of more gentle sounds. Reducing the preamp gain, increasing the threshold and selecting a soft-knee for the dynamics will bring out more warmth and detail in a sound without introducing distortion.
