01Overview

MDistortionMB is a distortion effect that can be used on single tracks or across a full mix. Its multiband core lets you split the signal into one to six independent bands, each with its own limits and input gain. The developer describes it as producing everything from mild clean amp tones to heavily distorted results, so the same plugin can handle subtle warmth or aggressive damage.

Amp Simulation and Distortion Character

Rather than modeling one specific amplifier, MDistortionMB uses a generalized amp simulation that can cover a range of amp styles. It ships with 12 predefined sounds organized by style, such as metal or rock, which gives you a starting point before you shape the tone yourself.

For sounds that go beyond amp emulation, the plugin includes five purely digital distortion algorithms. These can be combined with the amp simulation, so you can build anything from a clean-leaning drive to a dense, heavily saturated tone.

Workflow, Interface and Modulation

The plugin offers two interfaces. The default view has a few predefined modes and only a handful of controls, so you can choose a sound and adjust it with a few knobs. An advanced mode exposes the full feature set.

Four global modulators can each act as an LFO, envelope follower, MIDI or audio triggered ADSR, or pitch detector, and they can modulate any parameter, including other modulators. Oscillators and modulators can sync to host tempo, and any parameter can be mapped to a MIDI controller with MIDI learn. Up to 1x to 16x up-sampling is available to reduce aliasing.
