Berzerk Distortion goes beyond traditional distortion – with feedback, randomised distortion shapes, inventive dynamics and mid/side processing.

Ten original distortion shapes are on hand, and the Go Berzerk button randomises them for fresh inspiration. A dynamics section pumps, gates, ducks or expands the distorted audio, a resonant feedback network with pitch and speed controls and internal or external sidechaining creates pitched tonalities, and a level-tracking oscillator adds frequency-based effects. Three fully parametric EQ stages, the Temperature control and oversampling shape the result further. Musicians and sound designers can turn drum loops and synth lines into pulsating monsters, with over 100 presets by Grammy winners.
