Blue Cat Audio has released version 1.2 of Blue Cat’s Destructor, a powerful distortion and amp simulation effect plugin for Windows and Mac.

The update comes with user interface zoom (up to 2x), retina displays support, and a new installer for Mac. Presets management has also been improved, and a few minor issues have been fixed. New legendary guitar tone presets are also available for free on bluecataudio.com.

Blue Cat’s Destructor is a powerful distortion and amp sim modeling tool capable of simulating any kind of distortion – from harsh digital destruction to smooth compression or guitar amp simulation (works for clean tones too)! And most importantly, yours!

It is delivered with hundreds of presets and predefined models, either inspired by existing gear (guitar & bass amps or cabinets, compressors, pedals, tape machine)… or created by our destructive minds.
