Distortion remains a crucial effect in music production, capable of enhancing a wide range of sounds. When applied subtly, it can add warmth and character to clean acoustic instruments, enriching their natural tone. On the other hand, intense distortion can introduce aggression and presence, making elements stand out in a mix. However, improper use can lead to harshness or muddiness, underscoring the need for precise control over the effect.

Big Clipper offers two distinct stages of distortion that can be blended to shape the perfect harmonic texture. This flexibility lets you explore everything from gentle, warm overdrive to sharp, biting clipping, all adjustable through an intuitive interface. Its unique Heft control allows for frequency-selective distortion that maintains smooth dynamics and natural warmth, ensuring the effect complements a wide variety of sounds without overwhelming them.

Included with Big Clipper is Little Clipper, a streamlined version designed for quick and straightforward distortion needs. This addition provides a simpler set of controls for situations where detailed tweaking isn’t necessary, giving you options that fit different production scenarios. Together, these tools enable precise tonal shaping and dynamic control for both subtle enhancement and bold distortion effects.
