A Sound Designer’s Best Friend
For years, distortion and saturation effects have only seen incremental advances. Thermal breaks ground with a multi-stage engine that goes far beyond what multi-band distortions traditionally accomplish, inviting experimentation and inspiring creativity. The XY control provides an easy interface to enhance harmonics by tapping into it’s layered engines, each with analog and digital distortion algorithms, effects, modulation and imaging.

Explore the details - Dig into Thermal’s Advanced Page to get into the nitty gritty.
-
Advanced - Go beyond the presets and interact with the distortion on the waveform display, tweak modulation envelopes and add effects.
-
Waveform Display - Hone in on a specific frequency range by dragging the handles on the waveform and adjust volume using the slider. Turn band split on to activate the crossover filters.
-
Distortion & Effects - Choose from 19 analog and digitally modeled distortion algorithms. Add harmonics and grit, shape amplitude, and add frequency modulation.
-
Width & Tone - Add a final touch to each stage by adding Mid Side and time-based width, then shaping highs and lows using the Tone panel.
