The distortion to end all others
The final word in distortion has just been said. You may throw all your distortions in the TRASH now. With the great help of Dr. Distorstein, we created a weapon of mass distortion. We wrote the final chapter and made the distortionest distortion that crushes everything. The last distortion standing, the insane drive that will drive you insane, is called Cyberdrive..
The heart of Cyberdrive lies in its "Dist" modules. Craft your unique distortion profile with up to three modules in synergy. Each module features a powerful filter system. It lets you fine-tune the tone and character of your distortion with high-pass, low-pass, and multiband crossovers. Each distortion has a dedicated gain-compensated Drive and Mix to dial in the perfect balance.
A Multiverse of Distortion Models
Choose from 64 distortion types across eight distinct categories, each meticulously designed to offer a spectrum of sonic possibilities. The Control knob allows you to fine-tune the character of your distortion by adjusting parameters unique to each model, giving you precise command over the sonic signature of your sound.
Analogue simulations
Three of Cyberdrive's distortion categories offer realistic gear simulations. You can emulate the warmth and character of analogue hardware (Classic), capture the essence of iconic guitar pedals (Pedal), or engage the power of famous guitar and bass amplifiers (Amp).
Shape and Crush
Other distortion categories let you explore. The Modern section offers dynamic distortions and wave-folding using cutting-edge techniques like multiband companders. Inject digital chaos with bit-crushing, rate reduction, and glitch effects (Pixel), or sculpt your sound with wave-shaping techniques like rectify and asymmetric clipping (Shape).
Doom and Freak
Push the limits with extreme custom distortions that go HARD. There are eight in the Doom section. Freak category lets you experiment with avant-garde techniques like ring modulation, FM and spectral.
Feedback Like Never Before
Harness the versatility of the FEED module to create everything from subtle enhancements to wild, screaming feedback effects. This module features various delay modes such as synced, milliseconds and pitched, allowing you to perfectly time your feedback. With the ability to send feedback into its own input or include other modules inside its feedback path, the FEED module lets you explore uncharted sonic territories.
FX Arsenal
Elevate your productions with the extensive range of FX modules, each designed to give you precise control and perfectly complement your distortions. Each module is intuitively designed, offering depth, speed, and creative freedom.
Dynamics and tone
Tame or unleash your sound with compression, gating, and transient shaping (Dynamics), and shape the frequency content with EQs and filters, shaping your mix with precision (Tone).
Get creative
Other modules allow you to add movement with modulation effects like chorus, flanger, and tremolo (Motion), transform your audio with resonant effects, including cabinet simulations and metalizers (Profile), and craft lush soundscapes with time-based effects such as reverb, delay, and diffusion (Space).
Embrace the Unexpected
Break free from routine with Cyberdrive's advanced randomization feature. Effortlessly spark creativity with the random modes, allowing you to shuffle parameters and stumble upon new, inspiring sounds. Choose to randomize specific sections or the entire plugin, and with the ability to undo any changes, you're free to explore without limits.
Total Control Over Signal Flow
The Order section puts you in complete control of your signal chain. Drag and drop modules to reorder processing stages or double-click to enable or disable them, allowing you to tailor the plugin to your exact needs. Whether experimenting with complex routings or auditioning single modules, the ORDER section ensures your workflow is as smooth and intuitive as possible.
Hassle-free software protection
No iLok, no dongle, or internet access is required for activation. Our software uses license files to activate your software. You can freely use the purchased software on all your computers as long as you are the user.
Automatic Gain Compensation
Automatic gain compensation quickly adapts to current settings and ensures the output sounds as loud as the input. This even protects you from thinking that something sounds better. In some cases, it is just louder.
Realistic 3D yet flexible GUI
The photorealistic graphic user interface of the plugin gives you the feeling you are touching the real hardware. But it easily adapts to your needs. You can always drag the arrow in the bottom right corner to change its size - make it smaller to save valuable screen space or enlarge it to make it easier to use.
FREE 15-day unlimited trial
All the descriptions are nothing compared to putting your hands on the plugin. No saving limits. No noises. No boundaries. Engage the plugin in your project for real and fully exploit its powers for two weeks.
Smart bypass
The intelligent way our plugins manage bypassing ensures that you don't get any clicks or harmful noises when automating the parameter. It also compensates for latency, ensuring that the bypass states are perfectly in sync with each other.
Intelligent sleep on silence
This plugin intelligently detects whether it makes sense to perform processing at all. If not, it temporarily turns on sleep mode. In such a state, it requires virtually no CPU at all to save the computing sources for other processes.
Free-for-life updates
Our plugins never become obsolete. We keep track of the current operating systems and DAWs. You may always update to the most recent version for free, without paying a cent, a penny, or whatever currency you prefer.

I bought it at V1.0 and thought it was pretty cool. Then came the update and they just added a disperser and a lot of other features. Now I'm really impressed. I can recommend it to anyone who wants to experiment with distortions and do creative sound design. I haven't looked at everything yet. There's quite a lot. Because of the extensive update, the fun I've had with it so far and the fact that the plugin runs stable without any problems here in FL, I give it full marks.

I already have a few distortion options in my studio, so I wasnt really looking for a new one. The marketing for Cyberdrive caught my eye (81% discount) and I had some cash rewards on my account, so I wound up paying like $9 for this.
My expectations were low, but somehow this multi distortion plugin is immediately interesting and sets itself apart from Trash/2, Bite, and various NI plugins, as well as Bitwig and Cubase's native distortion stuff. The sound character itself is tight, manageable, has many styles, tones, strengths, stacked distortion engines, and effects engines on top of that. This is not some throwaway distortion plugin and immediately fits in my tracks, and I already use a few other products in my templates.
One moderate criticism and the reason Im giving this 4 out of 5 stars -- there are zero presets.
There are many types of distortion (64!), 3 distortion engines, a feedback engine, dynamics controls, tone control, motion (chorus, etc) control, cabinet sim, filter mode switches, and space (reverb), and there are a good number of control knobs under or around each.
Edited and updated to 5 stars - dev updated plugin and added presets.

All previously created reviews are now truncated(cut off)? I can only read the top 5-6 lines of every review, and "read all" does not expand them??
This should be fixed now.
Thank you! Confirmed -- it is fixed.
