This product was released in 2002 which explains the lack of reviews

UI: 10/10
The classic skin is clean and friendly, and is the one I prefer. There is also a "funky" skin available which looks very H.R.Geiger and nasty indeed (but for general every day work I recommend using the classic skin).

Sound: 10/10
The sound quality of the distortion algorithms sounds excellent to my ears, nothing to complain about there. No matter how much you push it to the limits it seems to stay "intelligble" if that makes sense. It also has an "oversampling"/high quality mode which can clean up the sound a little if that's what you want. It does distortion brilliantly and effortlessly, and it just sounds wicked! With a little tweaking you can also cover a range of treatments from subtle and warm to extreme and nasty. Great for drums, synth basses and leads, whatever you want to beef up (or destroy!)

Features: 9/10
For what is really just a distortion/overdrive unit, it can really be tweaked to get all manner of distorted and warms sounds, from subtle to psychotic. The feedback parameter allows sounds to be given very tasty feedback like certain amps, and the fact that it is multi band distortion (up to four bands) means you can tailor the distortion to sound however you want. It's got heaps of distorion types as well which all colour the sound in different ways. There's also the interesting feature of being able to set a time length which controls how long it takes to morph between presets. Haven't used this in the context of a mix yet, but it allows for some interesting results. Did I mention it's easy to use? Because it really is

Documentation: 10/10
To be honest, I haven't looked at the manual at all. Haven't needed to. Just so easy to use. So for that reason docs get a 10

Presets: 7/10
The presets that ship with it are decent enough, covering a range of styles and treatments, but it's not until you start tweaking predatohm on your own material that is starts to shine.

Customer support: 9/10
Haven't needed it for this plug, but I know from experience the support is good and some of the OhmForce designers/developers lurk round these parts (KVR) so help is always at hand

Value for money: 10/10
79 euros is a very decent price for a very high quality distortion plugin. There are alternatives which may have more features, but they cost more, and I won't name them here because of the review policy. For 79 euros, this is outstanding value, especially for those producing music that needs nasty or warm elements to it

Stability: 9/10
No probs here. Quite fair on the CPU as well

Summary:
A top shelf distortion plugin which has a great amount of tweakability, to get your distortion treatments sounding perfect. I'll be reaching for this one alot, that's for sure

Products by Ohm Force

Product: Frohmage
Developer: Ohm Force
Type: Filter
Price: Free
OS&Formats: WindowsMac OS XUniversal BinaryVSTAudio UnitDirectX
Frohmage is a multi-band resonant filter. It can offer some unique sounds, from slow and deep filter sweeps to the most savage tones with high resonance setting and heavy distortion. Highly resonant low-pass filter. Cutoff frequency unit selection : Hz or musical note. Up to 15 additional bands, harmonically distributed. Delay on each band for unique phaser effects. Distortion stage, with two routing schemes. Very fine MIDI control (PRN and NPRN sent or recorded by Frohmage are 14-bit accurate). Low CPU load.... [more]

 
Product: Hematohm
Developer: Ohm Force
Type: Frequency shifter
Price: €79
OS&Formats: WindowsMac OS XUniversal BinaryVSTAudio UnitDirectX
Sometimes, you really need to break the harmonic content of a tune. Better than a ring modulator, Hematohm is a frequency shifter. Behind this easy but gloomy user interface, you'll find a machine that will allow you to triturate the sound more than in your most pervert dreams. This tool of torture is delivered with a vicious envelope follower, a strong LFO, and a delay coming from forgotten depths.High quality Frequency Shifter. LFO with 10 waveforms, including 3 randomised shapes, in order to create an unlimited number of sound modulation patterns. An envelope follower very useful to add ... [more]

 
Product: Mobilohm
Developer: Ohm Force
Type: Modulation (Flanger / Phaser / Chorus / Tremelo)
Price: €79
OS&Formats: WindowsMac OS XUniversal BinaryVSTAudio UnitDirectX
Mobilohm is a powerful multi-phaser, using 4 oscillators, that sounds unique. This plugin is a must have among your sound sculpting effects. It will really satisfy the hunger of musicians tired of filters, looking for a cool tool to animate their sounds in a new way, from the gentlest caress to full-on swirling waves of sound. Mobilohm is definitely not just another "one phaser" effect. Like the OhmBoyz, it comes with a shock of LFOs that extend its capacities far beyond a simple effect. And you'll enjoy the power of preset morphing and ultra-smooth controls.Mobilohm is available in two forms:... [more]

 
Product: OhmBoyz
Developer: Ohm Force
Type: Delay / Echo
Price: €79
OS&Formats: WindowsMac OS XUniversal BinaryVSTAudio UnitDirectX
Who are the OhmBoyz ? 4 predelays injecting into 2 nicely geared delay lines, two complete resonant filters, distortion and high shelf. Remember, a delay is an echoing device. You really should prepare your sound to travel through space along with the OhmBoyz.This delay does not "click". LFOs everywhere. Who wants a resonant filter ? high pass, low pass, band notch, wah-wah, adjustable bandwidth and resonance from -24dB to +24dB : enough to deafen to death your most respectable neighbours. Serious distortion ! Choose between overdrive and puncher... or anywhere in between... A high-s... [more]

 
Product: Ohmicide : Melohman
Developer: Ohm Force
Type: Distortion / Overdrive / Amp
Price: €79+
OS&Formats: WindowsMac OS XUniversal BinaryVSTAudio Unit
Based on Predatohm's design, Ohmicide:Melohman is organized around up to four frequency bands, each of them coming with their own Noise Gate, Dynamic, Distortion, Feedback Generator and all mixing abilities with just a twist of pre- and post-processing (distort input, high shelf output...). The DSP is 100% different from Predatohm: the compressor/expander works differently to fit well with both the very sharp Noise Gate and the huge amount of new distortions. Those are at the core of Ohmicide. They're designed to offer pretty much everything you can think of next to a lot of things you can't. ... [more]
