Impact Soundworks has introduced a new tube-powered drive/distortion effect for Windows and macOS. A neural-modeled plugin which balances tube growl and warm breakup with a touch of compression, Deputy Distortion aims to bring the sounds of classic ’80s hard rock distortion.
At the heart of Deputy Distortion is a legendary Marshall tube circuit, neural-modeled to perfection. Dynamic sag, range, response, immediate attack, and of course, the brash in-your-face tone: they all sound and FEEL like real analog hardware. Dial it back to low gain for a crunchy overdrive-type sound. Or push it further to a full, fire-breathing roar.
Deputy Distortion features
- Accurate recreation of iconic British hardware.
- Three-band tonestack (Low, Mid, High) for dynamic, organic, volatile tone shaping.
- From pleasant crunch to extreme circuit-blown aggression.
- Custom “Sizzle” knob to add air, edge, and bite.
- “Dynamics” knob to restore transients and range.
- Suitable for both studio and live performance use.
Available in VST3, AU, AAX and CLAP plugin formats, Deputy Distortion is on sale for the intro price of $44 USD for a limited time (regular $59 USD).
