Hi everyone,I’m Matt, and I just released Heretic, the first plugin from my new boutique effects company called Wired Saint.
Heretic is a multi-mode distortion designed for character-heavy processing. It’s got five different distortion algorithms under one interface:
- SOFT: tube-style saturation
- HARD: brick-wall hard clipping
- RECT: octave-up fuzz via rectification
- FOLD: wavefolding
- CRUSH: bit + sample-rate reduction
The Drive and Shape knobs behave differently in each mode — asymmetry, scream filter, fold density, decimation, and so on. The visuals respond to the mode and parameter settings, and there is a utility bar with a handful of help features like automatic gain compensation, bass crossover, etc.
Format: VST3 / AU (Windows & macOS)
Price: $29 introductory price with promo code LAUNCH29 until July 1st (Retail $49)
There’s more information and audio samples at wiredsaint.com (https://wiredsaint.com)

I’d love to hear any feedback you may have about Heretic, and look forward to finding ways to improve it and future plugins.
Thanks!
