Hey everyone!

Here to announce the release of Bottom Heavy, a heavy multiband distortion!

BOTTOM HEAVY

Available here: https://blackfunkymetal.gumroad.com/l/BottomHeavy (https://blackfunkymetal.gumroad.com/l/BottomHeavy)

Crush. Mangle. Obliterate.
Bottom Heavy isn’t just distortion—it’s pure, unapologetic audio destruction. Designed for hardcore bass heads, techno freaks, and distortion junkies, this multiband beast delivers everything from earth-shaking low-end growls to ear-splitting mid and high-end punishment—without turning your mix into mush.
Oh yeah, and there’s a voluptuous booty shaking on the UI. You’re welcome.

Why Bottom Heavy?
������ Heavy. Distortion. Never-before-heard waveshaping that goes beyond standard clipping and saturation.
������ Multiband Madness. Separate distortion settings for low, mid, and high frequencies—sculpt your filth with precision.
������ Hilbert Transform Drive. Generates harmonics that follow your drive factor for a completely unique sound.
������ Randomize Everything. Hit a button and let chaos take the wheel.
������ Simple but Deep. One macro knob to control the madness, plus dry/wet, post gain, and fat, bass-heavy presets to get you started.

Made for the Wild Ones
This is not a plugin for your dad’s jazz quartet. Bottom Heavy was built for producers pushing sound to the extreme, including:
✅ Hardcore, Hardstyle & Rawstyle producers
✅ Dubstep & Phonk beatmakers
✅ Noise & Industrial artists
✅ Techno & Heavy Ambient sound designers
✅ Trap & Drill producers looking for raw, dirty textures

Demo videos available on Youtube.

Let me know what you think :- )

I could see this being really great for heavy industrial stuff.

A waveshaper with a shaking graphic on top..... we've truly hit the end stages of plugin innovation.

If you have Saturn 2 you can do any of this and way more. That graphic has to go. Is losing that configurable?

GUI is lame, but nothing this does sounds like it's in Saturns wheelhouse. There'd be no way to implement a drive for instance that follows the phase of the input as one example upto 90 degrees if i am interpreting the Hilbert Transform Drive thing properly

To the developer. Strongly consider another GUI. I'm no prude, but i think having sexually suggestive imagery on your plugins is something only 14 year olds appreciate

I don't really care about the UI, I bought something worse than this the other day actually. Still, it would probably be prudent to offer an option with a picture of a bouncing speaker or something. For those who do care about it.

I'll probably pick this up as well if PP becomes supported.

*tbh, I'm not super happy about that other purchase, not because of the plugin, it's because seemingly, that other dev is actually 14 yrs old, judging by his ability to run a business.

Nope you can't. I have both, they are not even remotely in the same ballpark.

There is a way to turn it off, at the moment not so user-friendly, but something to consider for v2

PP is 100% supported as of now :- )

And thanks for the suggestion, seeing how people respond.. I'm going to look into offering an easier way to SFW the UI

Have you compared the two? Saturn 2, as great as it is does not do that type of audio destruction. Plus, programming Saturn takes a lot longer.

Saturn 2 has independent bands configurable with totally different distortions. It can do the destruction that was shown in the video. It also has filters that can tame the garbage frequencies generated from the wave shaping. Saturn has configurable envelope followers if you want to follow a particular signal or duck the distortion with a side chain. It seems like the people that are saying Saturn can or can't do this are not really that savvy about using Saturn 2. As far as it being more difficult to pull off in Saturn 2, that is a personal view but having worked with it for years I am familiar enough to dial things in pretty quickly.

To each his own and I wish the developer good luck. If this works for folks then have at it. Different tools for different users.
