Distorque

I love this little plugin... I've used it for many years, many times.

Covering two of my favorites of the era. I owned and used these analog hardware boxes for years before losing them.

I would love to see an update that allows methods of blending the two included models? That would really up the anty.

This is an excellent antique-style mid-range exciter, or when you're feeling abusive, great for mangling mid-range noise.

I'm not going to say it isn't harsh, because harsh is kind of the point, but it's not a gritty digital harshness; I don't find myself gnashing teeth like with many digital distortions on complex content in this frequency range. It's more of the grit I'm looking for. It does full-range content pretty well, but it shines on retro leads.

The comprehensive options under the hood make it my go to for this type of tool.

This is last chorus you'll ever need.

Most choruses are one-trick ponies modeled after simple guitar pedals, with a handful of parameters, so it's refreshing to see a truly comprehensive chorus with such extensive options - including both feedback and separate voices (most choruses are either/or).

Don't neglect its contour, coloration, or dry delay parameters.
