When you’re striving to get that big & full sound like you hear on commercial releases, often the key ingredient in the mix is distortion.

Distortion adds additional harmonics to a signal, which increases the perceived volume. By increasing the perceived volume, you are able to reduce the peak levels in your mix which translates into more headroom for better masters.

Ravage Lite is a scaled-back version of our forthcoming Ravage Creative Distortion plugin, which is perfect for when you just need a touch of extra warmth and sparkle in a highly CPU friendly way.

The Ravage Lite has just one flavour of distortion which is a combination of the 6 distortion styles found in its big brother. The Ravage Lite also includes up to 16x oversampling.

Get heated overdrive with added life and movement – choose from six types of distortion, shape your signal with filtering and gain, and modulate the results with custom-drawn LFO shapes.

Distort. Mangle. Transform

Trash 2’s multi-band, dual-stage distortions and advanced post-filtering enable immediate sonic transformation. Trash any track: not just guitars and basses, but drums, synths, pads, vocals, brass, woodwinds, and more.

Choose from over 100 impulse responses with the Convolve module, explore new sonic dimensions with the Delay and Dynamics modules, or add movement to your audio using 2 Filters, each with 20+ evocative filter types to shape your tone.

Meet the Trash 2 modules

Multiband Trash Module

The heart of Trash is its dual-stage multiband waveshaping distortion—allowing you to chain pairs of distortions together for sonic manipulation. Split the signal into multiple bands and apply distortion independently to individual frequencies, each with their own custom waveshape. Use the new Waveform Trace to see exactly how you're mangling your waveforms in real-time, and DC offset filtering to keep them centred and on track. Be extreme or be benevolent: the power of audio annihilation is completely within your control.

• Apply different distortion types to up to 4 frequency bands.
• Chain two distortion algorithms for each frequency band for up to 8 different flavours of destruction.
• Choose from over 60 different distortion algorithms. 
• Design and edit your own distortions using the new graphic-based Waveshaper.
• Filter each stage with the included Filter 2.
• Further refine your distortions with the DC Offset Filter and Logarithmic Distortion modes.
• Delay, Dynamics, and Output Limiter features.

‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎

Filter Modules

Each stage offers 60+ gain algorithms for up to four independent frequency bands...

With distortion, tone is everything. Trash 2 gives you two new redesigned Filter modules to drive the frequencies you want into distortion or tame the ones you don't want. Shape the tone and make it your own with re-engineered Filter shapes and new Vowel Filters.

• Experiment with 20+ sweepable filters for a variety of clean, juicy, and harsh tonal options.
• Get twice the filter action with brand new Filter 1 and Filter 2 modules.
• Add LFO and envelope modulation per node to get wahs, wubs, tremolos, and other sweeping effects. 
• Let your Filter settings react dynamically to other incoming audio with new sidechaining support.
• Put both Filter modules in parallel to achieve different combinations of filter settings simultaneously.
• Delay, Dynamics and Output Limiter features.

‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎

Convolve

Authentic spatial and object simulation...

Trash features extremely realistic amp, device, cabinet, effect and speaker convolution modeling, freeing you to place your audio into another space (or object) entirely. Choose from classics, combos, boutique models, and stacks, or play with creative synthetic impulses from a number of different sources. There's a tone and character for any situation—let Trash bring you outside the box with telephones, clock radios, sheet metal, plexiglass tubes, piano cabinets, tin cans, and more.

Still want more? You're in luck! With the Convolve module, you can teleport your sound wherever you please by loading in your own audio files.

• Explore over 100 redesigned Impulse Responses, to capture the audio characteristics of another space or object. 
• Load your own custom Impulse Response using any .wav or .aiff file.
• Adjust stereo width and placement using stereo imaging controls.

‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎

Multiband Dynamics Module

Fully-equipped compressors and gates are available for up to four frequency bands...

Controlling distortion goes far beyond simple filtering and limiting. To get the most out of your tracks, Trash 2 includes a multiband Compressor and Noise Gate to squash the peaks, add grit and character, silence the noise, or draw out sustain. With the addition of sidechaining support, multiband processing, and an updated compression algorithm, the Dynamics module is sure to be among the most powerful tools in Trash 2.

• Get analogue-modelled and grit-filled compression and gating from the redesigned Dynamics module.
• Apply Dynamics to different frequency ranges independently with 4-band Multiband support.
• Trigger the Compressor or Gate via external sources with sidechaining support–even to individual frequency bands in Multiband mode.
• Keep an eye on extensive Dynamics metering for immediate visual feedback. 
• Determine exactly which frequencies trigger Dynamics processing using the new Detection Filter, or exploit the Filter's resonance for more creative applications of compression.
• Dig deeper into additional Dynamics options like Hard or Soft Knee compression, RMS or Peak level detection, and Auto-Gain compensation.

‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎

Delay

Six different delay types offer even more sonic possibilities for your audio...

Unlock even more potential for texture and space with Trash's Delay module.  With a selection of tape, tape/tube, analog, digital and lo-fi digital delay types, input filtering, the ability to add additional distortion and width, along with parallel controls, Trash 2's Delay module can add that final finishing touch, or take your sound out of this world.

‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎

Output Limiter

Unyielding final level control...

Trash 2's built-in limiter helps you control the chaos and prevent output clipping. It comes loaded with a steadfast output Limiter to help you tame dramatic distortion effects and prevent sound degradation from analog clipping. In short, the Limiter allows you the peace of mind to tweak and distort to your heart’s content, without having to worry about blowing up your speakers. Multiple behaviour options in the Options menu allow you to tweak and alter the timbre and performance of the Limiter:

• Quiet: A transparent limiting with neutral character and slower release times
• Loud: More aggressive limiting while still keeping transparent as possible and medium release times
• Clipping: Aggressive limiting with very short release times

Fire It Up

Presenting HEAT 2 - the original twin distortion powerhouse, now with a stunning refresh. This face-melting plugin features an intuitive new interface, more accurate frequency monitoring and a host of under-the-hood improvements. 

Choose two of your favourite distortion and saturation models, and blend them together for fuzz-box fun. You can shape the two affected signals with high and low pass filters, resulting in a more musical output than many other types of distortion plugins. Tweak the parameters to your personal taste within the refreshed interface, newly designed to sit right alongside W.A. Production's other inspiring plugins. The audio processing is now much clearer, with a top-to-bottom approach so it’s now easy to follow the signal flow and create amped-up overdrive.

Of course, W.A. Production also included loads of factory presets to kickstart your distortion discoveries, from extreme settings for smashing your audio to more tempered values for vocals, bass and drums. Use these presets as jumping-off points and then adjust the drive, blend, filters and other parameters to create your unique sound.

Blend 10 Devastating Distortion Types

The whole concept of HEAT 2 is to apply twin distortion and then shape the signals so that your audio is powerful, yet retains musicality. The starting point for this is the 10 different types of modelled distortion. These models all have adjustable drive levels. With a wide range of different distortion types, you can easily craft every timbre from subtle harmonics to blow-the-doors-off distortion. Each of these 10 types of processing will produce a different character and timbre, so experiment by blending between them using the central dial.

Twin Filters

These two filter controls allow you to shape your distortion far more musically than stock plugins. Separately adjust the High and Low frequency cut off parameters for the two different distortion modules. For example, you might only want to crush the mid-range of a synth part, giving it more crunch and power. Or maybe just distort the lowest frequencies of a fat kick drum. Combine two different types of distortion with two different filter shapes and get your audio production-ready with the precision of surgical saturation.

Input, Output & Mix Ratio

Use the Input and Output sliders to compensate for any gain boost or reduction caused by the distortion chambers with up to +/- 48dB attenuation. This allows for very accurate comparisons when A/Bing. Use the Mix ratio control at the bottom centre of the interface to dial in as much (or as little) of the distortion types as you need. Apply a conservative ratio for subtle saturation and sweetening, or push the control further to hear the 100% destroyed signal.

Visual Feedback

The new and improved live frequency meters at the top of the interface show exactly what’s happening to the signal as it’s being processed in real-time. This allows for accurate monitoring each time you decide to make a change to the distortion type or level. The output of the right-hand module is shown as an orange waveform, the output of the left-hand module is shown in yellow. This makes it easy to tell the difference between the two types of distortion that you’re applying to the signal and exactly which parts of the signal the filters are targeting. 

Presets

With many included presets, it’s easy to select starting points for your own distortion adventures. Tailored to specific instruments, genres and effects, these factory options can be used on many types of audio. The presets include everything from delicate distortion to all-out smashed saturation.

W. A. Production are real-life producers making creative plugins to help you achieve studio quality processing quickly and easily. Enjoy!

The first incarnation of the Tube Screamer series, the TS-808, was first released in the 1979 and hand-wired by MAXON® engineers, who have been Ibanez’s production partners until 2002.

This pedal quickly became wildly popular due to its ability to deliver one of the smoothest and most responsive overdrive tones ever with just three controls. That’s why, still today, this is one of the most cloned and modified pedals ever.

Audiority carefully modelled the original pedal and added some goodies, including several modified versions of the circuit, to further shape your guitar tone.

The Red Hot Chilli for Your Tone - Distortion FX Engine

Note: Also available in in the EFEKTOR Distorion Bundle.

There are always demands for more 'gain’ - the search for the perfect distortion sound that never ends. DS3603 brings five types of massive amount of gain for demolition.

DS3603 Distortion clips the input signal by increasing the signal to maximum overload. Adding musical harmonics and overtones while still maintains the characteristics of the originalsound, or not. You choose. For heavy metal guitars or abrasive and pounding industrial drums, seek from five types of distortion:

• Lead Distortion: Ringing mids for screaming leads
• Heavy Distortion: Penetrates from mild to heavy
• Metal Distortion: Dark and thick, the solid metal gear
• Classic Distortion: Singing leads and rockin’ hard
• Pro Distortion: Fat and sharp edge for your tone

The Good Old Fuzzy Woolly Distortion Box - Fuzz FX Engine

Note: Also available in in the EFEKTOR Distorion Bundle.

Probably the most primitive type of distortion device. Instantly recognizable from the wooly, gritty, and compressed ‘artificial’ sound. There are five types of buzzy tone benders on the FZ3603.

Kuassa Efektor is a new line of plug-ins which consists of several of most requested effect units. The grandfather of ‘artificial’ effect units. Recognizable from its distinct sound, heavily clipped and compressed to the point where the waveform is squared, adding harsh and complex harmonics and inharmonics, almost synth like. Select from five models of fuzzboxes:

• Big Fuzz: The gritty and wooly sustaining note
• Sustainer Fuzz: Blistering rhythm and singing leads
• Trans Fuzz: The familiar fuzzy transistor sound
• Vintage Fuzz: Modern recreation of the sound from the 60s
• Zepp Fuzz: The vintage british rock sound

The Warm, Crunchy, Cranked Amp Tone - Overdrive FX Engine

Back in the early days of electric guitars and amplification, guitar players didn’t care if their guitar sound were altered to ‘breaking’ by the very limit of their amps. They pushed the gain on their amps for just one thing LOUD. It resulted in crunchy saturated sound, added sustain, raw, but responded very well to the dynamics of the playing. Straight for rock n roll in a box, you may choose from five models of overdrive:

• Blues Overdrive: Imitates overdriven British amps
• Boutique Overdrive: A custom made overdrive, sounds fat and dynamic
• Mad Overdrive: Hard, thick and retains the dynamic of your playing
• Modern Overdrive: A new model of overdrive that can be pushed into dense distortion
• Pro Overdrive: Warm and tight, the classic screamer sound
• Zepp Fuzz: The vintage british rock sound

Distortion: Versatile Distortion Effect

Ever since mankind invented music, there has been a desire to make it heavier. Distortion can take your sound from zero to sword wielding hero in seconds.

5 different distortion shapes are available to add a tinge of edge or rip things apart.  In stereo, if that's what you're into.

What's a Snapin?
