01Overview

UFX DISTORT is a multi-effect distortion plugin from UJAM. Instead of offering a single overdrive character, it provides 20 distinct distortion algorithms, ranging from tube and transistor styles to waveshaping, multiband distortion and inharmonic effects. Each mode can be paired with one of 24 speaker emulations, which run from old radios to guitar amp cabinets. The plugin is available in VST3, VST2, AU and AAX formats for Windows and macOS.

03In depth

Distortion Modes and Sound Character

The 20 modes cover a wide range of tones. Tube Drive and Bad Tube address classic vacuum tube overdrive, while Screamer is a stompbox-style distortion. Guitar Amp, Fuzz and Hard Clipping target guitar and bass, and Tape Saturation and Preamp Saturation add warmth.

For more creative work, Foldback and Rectify push the signal into harsher territory, Ring Modulation adds amplitude modulation with added grit, and Inharmonic shifts all frequencies away from their original positions. Clean Bass keeps the low end clean while distorting the rest of the signal.

Filter, Finisher and Randomization

The distorted signal, or the dry input when bypassing distortion, can be routed into a Filter section with 40 algorithms, including basic EQs and synth filters. A Finisher section offers 50 algorithms, from a simple chorus to granular clouds and rhythmic effects.

The plugin's randomization feature generates variations on a button press. The Small/Big control sets how far the results move from the current sound, from subtle changes to entirely new distortion settings.
