Blue Cat’s Destructor is a powerful distortion and amplifier effect model that can simulate any overload: from dramatic digital destruction to smooth compression or modeling a guitar amp.
Comes with hundreds of presets and models, either inspired by existing equipment (guitar and bass amps, cabinets, compressors, pedals, tape recorders …) or created by our destructive minds.
But the plugin is not limited to these models: all parameters of existing presets are completely edited, which gives you access to an unlimited number of overload simulations – there is no need to purchase additional presets or amplifier models to create your tone. Based on the perceptual model, and not on electronic constructions or impulse responses, the signal chain is minimized, simplifying the tone adjustment process and making it fit into the mix.
The plug-in reacts to the game of instruments, providing a very natural impression, similar to the experience of analog equipment.
