- Output limiter for controlling signal peaks
Shape Distortion in Detail
Trash 2 offers a wide selection of distortion types organized by their sonic character. Producers can adjust drive, style, output gain and dry-to-wet balance or edit the waveshaping curve directly. This makes it possible to move from gentle harmonic coloration to heavily transformed and unconventional sounds.
Precise Multiband Processing
The Trash and Dynamics modules can divide audio into as many as four frequency bands. Each band can use separate settings, allowing users to distort the low end while keeping higher frequencies clean, apply different processing to each part of a signal or build complex effects without changing the entire frequency spectrum.
Filters, Cabinets and Dynamic Control
Two filter modules provide detailed tone shaping with six adjustable nodes, several filter styles and modulation controlled by an LFO or the incoming signal. The Convolve module models the response of cabinets, speakers and other devices, while compression and gating help control sustain, impact and unwanted noise.
Build a Complete Effects Chain
Trash 2 combines filtering, distortion, convolution, dynamics and delay within one configurable signal chain. Modules can be reordered, bypassed or auditioned individually, giving users control over how every processing stage affects the final sound. Included presets provide convenient starting points for instruments, vocals, drums and sound-design projects.
