Destructor

The distortion and amp sims factory that actually goes to 11

Blue Cat's Destructor is a powerful distortion and amp sim modeling tool capable of simulating any kind of distortion: from harsh digital destruction to smooth compression or guitar amp simulation (works for clean tones too!) It’s delivered with hundreds of presets and predefined models, either inspired by existing gear (guitar & bass amps or cabinets, compressors, pedals, tape machines...) or created by our destructive minds.

But the plugin is not limited to these predefined models—all parameters of existing presets are fully editable, which gives you access to an unlimited number of distortion simulations—no need to purchase extra presets or amp models to build your custom tone. Based on a perceptual model rather than on electronic designs or impulse responses, the signal chain is reduced to its bare minimum, simplifying the process of tweaking the tone and making it fit into the mix. You can also load and transform your own impulse responses to add color to your tone.

Thanks to its exclusive adaptive shaper, Destructor is reactive to the playing of instruments, providing a very natural feeling, similar to analog gear. To make the look and feel of the plugin fit with your favorites tones, it’s bundled with more than 1600 visual styles that can be selected separately for each module.
