D16 Redoptor 2 - 2Nd Generation Vintage Tube Distortion Plugin.
Capture the Warmth of Classic Tubes:
Redoptor isn't just another distortion plugin; it's a meticulously crafted emulation of the legendary warmth and character of real tube amplifiers. Experience the subtle breakup, rich harmonics, and dynamic response that have made tube distortion a cornerstone of iconic guitar tones for decades.
Sculpt Your Sound to Perfection:
Redoptor empowers you to tailor your distorted sounds with unparalleled precision. Shape the attack of your distortion with a pre-gain stage compressor, ensuring your signal hits the tube circuitry just right. Tame your most ferociously distorted sounds with the master output limiter.
Fine-Tune Every Nuance:
The 4-band parametric equalizer provides surgical control over your overdriven tones. Refine your sound, emphasize specific frequencies, or carve out space in the mix.
A Journey into Analog Heaven:
Under the hood of Redoptor lies the essence of classic analog tube circuits. The gentle compression and rich harmonic tapestry produced by genuine tubes imbues your signals with power, punch, and a certain vibrancy. Unlike harsh solid-state distortion, Redoptor reacts dynamically to your playing, just like a real tube amp. Louder passages yield more saturation and complex harmonics, while softer notes retain their clarity during the decay. This dynamic response translates to distortion that breathes, feels natural, and simply sounds musical.
Features:
- Completely adjustable prefilter - Redoptor expands on classic tube guitar amplifier circuitry by offering total control of the preamp’s frequency range. The high and and low cutoffs have optional insert points (before or after the signal is processed) allowing for incredibly versatile sound shaping – from sending lo-fi signals into shredded chaos to full-spectrum tone thickening, it’s really up to you.
- Tame Those Dynamics - part 1:
- - We added two studio essentials for creative gain-staging.
- - Pre-gain compressor module providing even more freedom to sculpt your magnum opus within the Redoptor 2 sandbox. The preliminary compressor reins in peaks, lifts valleys and adds punch to your signal before it hits the highly responsive distortion stage.
- Character as Unique as you are - Saturation plugins often suffer from thin, metallic overdrive, flat responses and laminated tones. Redoptor perfectly emulates the behavior of classic hot-rodded tube guitar amplifier circuits, allowing it to sound just as good as its real-world analog ancestors.
- The Tone Hunter's Dream EQ - While many typical amplifiers and emulations rely on a fixed graphical EQ offering limited controls, Redoptor features a powerful parametric equalizer with independent gain and frequency control for all 4 bands, allowing you to “hunt” for peaks in your audio, and surgically hush them or shove them into the stratosphere!
- Exacting circuit emulation - In addition to its spot-on modeling of hot vacuum tubes being pushed into glorious, creamy distortion, Redoptor packs several features that allow it to accurately mimic the behavior of complex analog circuit components in all their interactive, complimentary glory. Every individual element of the plugin’s signal chain was designed to capture & recreate the quirks and subtleties of proper high-quality analog tube distortion. Additionally, Redoptor’s adjustable tube bi
- Tame Those Dynamics - part 2:
- - We added two studio essentials for creative gain-staging.
- - The master output limiter tames leftover spikes, polishes your signal and kisses its forehead before sending it on its way.
- Exact tube and tube's coupled circuits emulation
- Several UI sizes and HiDPI support for better screen fit
- MIDI Learn for easy controller assignment
