The MXR Distortion+ – a pedal that has become an icon of rock music, its unique sound defined an era. Now, this classic, gritty distortion is available in your digital audio workstation thanks to the Plusdistortion plugin from Distorque.
Plusdistortion: Legendary Sound in the Digital Era
The Plusdistortion plugin is a high-quality emulation of the famous MXR Distortion+ pedal. Developed by Distorque, this VST effect accurately reproduces the character of the original device, offering guitarists and producers an authentic distortion tone.
Classic Controls
These two controls correspond to the original Distortion+ pedal:
- Output: Adjusts the overall output level of the plugin.
- Distortion: Controls the amount of distortion and affects the filtering, from a light overdrive to a saturated distortion.
Advanced Tweak Menu Features
In addition to the main controls, Distorque has added a “Tweak Menu” with parameters for more in-depth customization and emulation of the nuances of the physical pedal:
- Input level: Adjusts the input volume, compensating for different source signals.
- Oversampling: Enables/disables 2x oversampling to reduce aliasing.
- Input Type: Selects the input type (‘Pickup’ with a filter to emulate a guitar or ‘Buffered’ without a filter).
- Op Amp Clipping: Controls the clipping character of the operational amplifier.
- Diode Clipping: Adjusts the “hardness” of distortion from diodes (can increase volume).
- High Cut: Reduces high frequencies at the output to smooth the tone.
- Low Cut: Reduces low frequencies at the input to avoid “muddying” and improve clarity.
(Note: High Cut and Low Cut are at minimum by default).
