HEAT 2 is a powerful twin distortion and saturation plugin designed to bring dynamic character and warmth to your audio. Featuring an updated interface with clear signal flow, it allows you to blend two distinct distortion models from a selection of ten unique types. This combination provides a wide range of tonal options, from subtle harmonic enhancement to intense, aggressive overdrive. The intuitive layout makes it easy to explore and tailor your sound with precision, whether you are processing vocals, drums, bass, or synthesizers.

The plugin includes dedicated high and low pass filters for each distortion module, enabling detailed shaping of your signal’s frequency content before distortion is applied. This approach offers more musical control than typical distortion plugins, allowing you to isolate and enhance specific frequency ranges. The input and output controls ensure proper gain staging, while the mix ratio lets you blend the distorted and clean signals to achieve the perfect balance. Real-time visual feedback with dual frequency meters displays the impact of each distortion stage clearly, helping you make informed adjustments during production.

HEAT 2 comes loaded with a variety of factory presets that cover a broad spectrum of styles and applications, making it easy to jumpstart your creative process. These presets range from gentle saturation to extreme distortion, suitable for a wide array of instruments and genres. Designed by experienced producers, this plugin is optimized for smooth, pop-free bypass and efficient CPU usage, making it an excellent choice for both studio sessions and live performance setups.
