Make Me Scream: Two-Stage Saturation and Distortion Plugin Free Download

The distortion module offers four types: analog tube saturation, soft clipping saturation, regular distortion and folded sinus distortion. Each produces a different character, and the interface graphics show which mode is active.

The four timbre modes, named Fuzz, Wall, Cliff and Make Me Scream, change how the signal's frequencies are affected. Fuzz is a balanced mode, Wall concentrates on bass, Cliff emphasizes the midrange and Make Me Scream brings out the highs.

The filter section can be set to high, low or bandpass modes with an adjustable cutoff. The Emphasis control boosts frequencies around the cutoff, and the Envelope Follower makes the effect react to transients for a rhythmic, auto-wah-like movement.

The Preamp Tube slider adds analog tube saturation before the distortion stage, and the Boost dial raises the input gain by up to +40 dB. The Output slider compensates for gain changes made by the distortion unit, which helps with level-matched A/B comparisons.

Oversampling can be set from x1 up to x16. Developer notes say higher settings reduce unwanted non-harmonic artifacts, but they require more CPU. The Dry/Wet control sets how much of the effect is heard, from subtle top-end sparkle to heavy bass distortion.

A live meter at the top right of the interface shows the processed signal in real time. Boundary lines mark when the output goes above 0 dB.
