Description

DISTROAR is a gritty, heavy distortion plugin I made to get a punchy, aggressive sound from my electric guitar, perfect for chugs, riffs and leads. It's my first plugin, built in C++ with JUCE, and runs as a VST3 in any DAW.

Features

• Multi-band distortion: splits the signal into low, mid, and high bands for separate processing
• Adaptive drive
• Multiple distortions: soft and hard clipping, custom wave shaping, dynamic smoothing
• Pre and post distortion compression for a consistent, level sound
• Cab sim: adds amp-like sound

Knobs

• Drive: amount of distortion applied
• Tone: a simple low-pass filter
• Blend: mix between the clean and distorted signals
• Output Gain: adjust the final output level
• Gate: reduce noise by removing low-level signals before and after distortion
