Nembrini Audio presents Black Distortion – a powerful virtual effect that reproduces the legendary sound of the RAT2 distortion pedal. This plugin gives you access to the classic, harmonically rich distortion tones right in your digital audio workstation.
Perfect for guitarists looking for a versatile distortion effect, Black Distortion is capable of shaping sounds from smooth overdrive to aggressive fuzz. It will become an indispensable tool for both studio work and live performances in a virtual environment.
The Heart of the RAT2 Sound in Your Computer
The Black Distortion plugin has been carefully modeled to capture all the nuances of the original analog circuit of the RAT2 pedal. This means you get not just an imitation, but the true character and response that has made this pedal a cult favorite among musicians of various genres – from rock and punk to grunge and metal.
Unlimited Versatility of Application
The beauty of Black Distortion lies in its impressive flexibility. Use it as the main source of distortion to get dense rhythm parts in the arena-rock style or for singing lead tones that cut through the mix.
- If your amp plugin has too much headroom, Black Distortion can act as a “dirty channel,” adding warmth and gain.
- Already satisfied with your amp’s distortion? Use Black Distortion as a boost for solo parts to get an extra “punch” and stand out.
- Experiment with the placement of the plugin in the effects chain to discover new sound textures.
Detailed Control Over Your Tone
Despite its simplicity, Black Distortion offers key controls that allow you to precisely adjust the desired sound.
Key Control Knobs:
- Gain (Distortion): This knob allows you to smoothly transition from light, warm overdrive to rich, fuzz-like distortion. Find the perfect gain level for any musical context.
- Volume (Volume): Adjusts the plugin’s output level. This is important for balancing the volume of the processed signal with the clean tone, or for controlling the level going to the next effects or amplifier.
- Filter (Filter): The legendary control element of the RAT pedal. Turning right smooths out harsh high-frequency overtones, making the tone softer and rounder. Turning left opens up the natural brightness of your instrument, allowing it to easily cut through the mix. This is a powerful tool for shaping the timbre.
