Distortion 1 delivers an authentic analog-modeled experience inspired by a legendary distortion stompbox first introduced in the late 1970s. It recreates the distinctive tonal character that shaped the sound of countless guitar icons, offering rich and dynamic distortion that enhances any guitar track with expressive grit and sustain.

The plugin features independent controls for tone, distortion, and output level, allowing precise shaping of your sound. Additional parameters include pre and post effect gain, a mix control for blending the distorted signal with the clean source, and a noise gate to reduce unwanted hiss. Users can explore eight different circuit types to tailor the distortion texture and utilize level meters to monitor output accurately. The interface is resizable for flexible workflow integration.

Designed to capture the essence of classic analog distortion pedals, this tool is ideal for guitarists and producers seeking vintage-inspired drive tones within a modern digital environment. Its intuitive controls and diverse circuit options make it suitable for a wide range of musical styles, from subtle warmth to aggressive overdrive.
