DoubleToner: Dual Quad-Band Distortion for Total Sound Control
Looking for a plugin that will not just add “dirt” to your mix, but will allow you to deeply and subtly shape the character of the distortion? Meet DoubleToner from Rebel Audio – a unique VST effect that opens up new horizons in the world of distortion thanks to its innovative concept of dual quad-band distortion.
Forget about monotonous distortion effects where you only have general control. DoubleToner is designed for musicians, sound engineers and producers who want to experiment, create complex sound textures, and achieve a unique sound. This plugin allows you to both subtly nuance your audio signal and distort it beyond recognition, turning ordinary sound into something completely new and captivating.
Innovative Concept of Dual Quad-Band Distortion
At the heart of DoubleToner is a powerful and flexible architecture. The input audio signal first passes through a crossover filter, which divides it into two independent bands. Each of these bands is then sent to its own, completely independent distortion unit. This gives you unprecedented control over which frequency ranges of your sound will be distorted, and how intensely.
But that’s not all. After the distortion blocks, the processed signals pass through four independent analog-approximated band-pass filters. These filters allow you to further “color” and shape the tone of the processed sound, adding warmth, character, or highlighting certain frequencies. You can customize each of the four filters separately, getting even more possibilities for creative sound design.
The final stage is mixing the processed bands using a crossover fader. This allows you to precisely define what balance between the two processed bands you want to have at the output, allowing you to smoothly transition from one distortion character to another or combine them in a unique way.
Application Possibilities
DoubleToner is an extremely versatile tool. It is perfect for processing guitars and bass, adding a unique drive and density to them. Synthesizers will get new, unexpected timbres, full of harmonics and textures. Even drums and percussion can sound new, taking on aggression, fatness or experimental character.
Thanks to the separate band processing, you can, for example, add a slight overdrive to the upper frequencies of vocals, leaving the low end clean, or “fry” only the mid-range frequencies of a guitar riff, maintaining transparency of the low and high end. The possibilities are virtually limitless and are limited only by your imagination.
