With the Redoptor 2 Distortion Plugin the D16 Group a tube amp emulator that is in no way inferior to real tube distortion. Thanks to the built-in pre-amp with finely gradable parameters, this plugin gives every sound additional charm. The organic tube amp sound has been the gold standard for overdrives and distortions since musicians knowingly distort their guitar signals. The smooth, natural compression, the full mix of even and odd harmonics that tube circuits produce, make any distorted signal more powerful, crisp and vibrant.
Guitarists who open up to the digital world will feel at home with this plugin. The good old warmth, the force and the crunchy sound of your old tube you will surely recognize immediately.
But also music producers and electronic musicians will soon recognize the irreplaceable potential of the Redoptor with its high-quality distortion and rich overtones, which gives each sound the additional character.
Use the plugin to amplify guitar signals, make drum parts sound fatter, sweeten synthesizers and arpeggios and add more power to bass tracks, or simply to make too sterile audio tracks generally sound warmer for a truly distinctive, unique character in your music.
In addition to its precise adjustment of hot vacuum tubes in a massive, creamy distortion, the Redoptor plugin packs numerous bonus features into the package that allow you to reproduce the behavior of complex analog circuits down to the smallest detail. The adjustable tube parameters of the Redoptor allow a smooth amplification of straight harmonics and a seamless transition when transforming the signal. Each individual element of the plugin's signal chain has been designed in the same way to reflect the subtleties and dynamics of a true high-quality analog distortion effect.
The Redoptor extends the classic guitar tube amp by offering full control over the frequency range of the preamp. The cut-off point for high and low tones can be adjusted before the signal is amplified and distorted, giving you an enormous range of sound design possibilities - from low-resolution sounds to full spectrum.
While many typical amplifiers and amplifier emulators are based on fixed, graphical equalizers and thus limit the possibilities, the Redoptor offers a versatile parametric equalizer with independent gain and frequency control on 4 bands.
In addition, the plugin with pre-gain compressor module and master output limiter offers further possibilities for fine-tuning your desired distortion. You can easily throttle outlier frequencies that are difficult to control, or you can add even more power to the sound - before it gets distorted.
The Redoptor plugin emulates the unmistakable sound of a hot tube amp so well that it is indistinguishable from its physical ancestors from the real world. Unlike unchanging transistors and fuzz circuits that produce only odd harmonics and alter the input signal in an unnatural and rigid way, the Redoptor Distortion Plugin responds responsively and dynamically to changes in volume, just like a real tube amp. This means that louder sounds get a crisper saturation and pleasant harmonies, while softer and naturally fading sounds become infinitely clearer. This results in an acoustically very satisfying distortion sound.
