Wave Box: Dual Waveshaper Distortion Plugin by AudioThing Free Download

The mode switch sets how the two shaping functions act on the signal. In symmetrical mode, both functions are applied to the whole signal, and the Bias control sets the mix between them. Symmetrical shaping generates odd harmonics.

In asymmetrical mode, the first function is applied to the positive part of the signal and the second to the negative part. Bias then sets an offset between the two halves. Asymmetrical shaping generates even harmonics, which is useful when you want a warmer, more uneven drive.

Because you can combine and adjust the six functions, the character can move a long way from one setting to another.

Two LFOs, each with six waveforms, and an envelope follower can move the waveshapers over time, so the distortion can change with the note or the level of the input. The plugin also offers oversampling up to 16x, which the developer provides to keep the distortion cleaner at high settings.

Wave Box ships with 30 factory presets and a preset system with a randomizer. The randomizer is a quick way to find starting points when you want to explore new shapes.
