Under the hood
The sweet spot in distortion domain
Devastor 2 is the second generation of D16’s first FX Plugin from the SilverLine Collection
series. Devastor is a deceptively simple yet remarkable Multiband Distortion Unit. It is
an enhanced version of the distortion unit you can find in Phoscyon, but with full control over
multiband processing. This elevates its sonic mangling capabilities to an entirely new level!
Devastor can be used to distort and enhance a wide range of sounds, from full-on acid synth
sounds to guitar fuzz or an analog amp with speaker combo. It can even be used with drums to
make them sound dirtier and more dynamic! Devastor isn't just good at creating distorted, monster
sounds: it can also be used subtly to improve the timbre and character of gentler sounds. For example,
reducing the preamp gain, increasing the threshold, and selecting a soft-knee for the dynamics
will bring out more warmth and detail in a sound without introducing distortion.
Filter-Clipper Routing
The plug-in offers nine different connection topologies between its filters and diode-clipper. Filters can process the signal before or after it gets fed into the diode-clipper, but some of the configurations even allow the filters to work alongside the clipper, which greatly increases the possible sonic palette.
Devastor's Filters
Devastor's filters are not simply the peaking EQ type which are commonly used in classic multiband distortion units: rather, they are like those found in analog synthesizers (low pass, high pass, band pass and band reject) with adjustable resonance and cutoff parameters. As a result, Devastor has a completely unique sound. Just check out the factory content and hear for yourself!
Dynamics flattener
Dynamics-flattener module, which is one-knob controlled input signal compressor to manage loudness before it gets clipped
Diode Clipper
When designing Devastor, we applied special antialiasing techniques to the output signal to make sure it was devoid of aliasing (one of the reasons why digital distortion units can sound so cold and un-musical). As a result, Devastor has a warm, musical, and very high quality sound.
Output limiter
Optionally activated signal auto-makeup limiter which allows to tame Devastor's master output.
