A versatile distortion and amp simulation tool that ranges from harsh digital destruction and smooth compression to clean guitar amp tones.

Destructor works on guitar, bass, drums, synths, vocals or full mixes and comes with hundreds of presets, many inspired by guitar and bass amps, cabinets, compressors, pedals and tape machines. Rather than modelling electronic circuits or using impulse responses, it relies on perceptual modelling, while an exclusive adaptive shaper delivers an organic, analogue-like response; you can also load and transform your own impulse responses. Tone maps let you find new sounds without diving into the details, EZ mode reduces the controls to a handful, and over 600,000 visual styles let you customise the look module by module.
