Aggressive Distortion plugin for Guitar (GNU GPLv3)
Inspired by the legendary circuit. it combines raw hard-clipping characteristics with modern parallel processing to deliver a biting, gritty tone without sacrificing the low-end punch.

Tested Environment: Arch Linux, Debian stable, Windows 11 / Reaper, Ardour.

Features

  • Asymmetric hard-clipping logic: Creates odd and even harmonics, emulating the raw of vintage distortion.
  • Slew Rate Limiter: Simulates the limited slew rate of the classic LM308.
  • Reverse Filter: Low-pass filter with a reverse-taper control—turn it up to darken the tone, just like the original hardware.
  • 2x Oversampling: Reduces aliasing artifacts for a clearer high-frequency response and smoother distortion at high gain settings.

Parameters

  • Distortion: High values push the signal into heavy hard-clipping.
  • Filter: Reverse Low-Pass Filter. Increasing the value lowers the cutoff frequency (darker tone).
  • Slew Rate: Limits the signal change rate. Higher values provide a smoother, vintage feel.
  • Dry Level: Level of clean input signal.
  • Wet Level: Level of the distored signal.

Install

  • Linux
    Download the Linux binary from the Releases page or build from source.
