Introducing the Overdrive Command Center: CrushStation
Unleash the power of CrushStation, a versatile and top-tier stereo distortion platform designed for Mac, PC, and iPad/iPhone. With its comprehensive controls, CrushStation takes your tone from smooth saturation to an aggressive sonic assault. But this plugin goes beyond distortion alone. It incorporates a three-band EQ, Compression, Octave Mix, and Eventide's unique Sag control, inspired by the character of failing hardware. Harness the MIX Control to blend your dry signal with CrushStation, allowing for parallel compression, distortion, and endless creative effects.
The "3Fs": Fix, Fit, and Feature
CrushStation excels in three fundamental ways of deploying distortion effects, as referred to by FX expert and author, Alex Case: Fix, Fit, and Feature.
Fix: Add a touch of Grit & Compression to revive a weak snare track. Fit: Enhance your mix by infusing warmth and bottom-end finesse to the lead. Feature: Push the lead to its limits by crushing it until it reaches an irresistible intensity.
Tailored Presets and Dynamic Features
Enjoy the convenience of 35 painstakingly tailored presets that cover a wide range of sonic possibilities. Explore the various DRIVE settings, from subtle boosts to deep overdrive distortions. Dive into the realms of GRIT and SUSTAIN for a taste of fuzz territory. Experience the unique Sag control, inspired by the character of dying analog gear, where power rail sags and amps sputter, creating a distinct "broken" sound. Blend higher and lower OCTAVES, then crank up the DRIVE and SUSTAIN to fuse them into massive new textures. For low-end, gritty, and chugging sounds, utilize the dedicated GRIT control. Shape your tone with precision using the intuitive 3-Band EQ. Tame aggressive distortion outputs with the GATE feature or unleash parallel gated crunch with high threshold gating and dry MIX. The RIBBON feature allows you to dynamically "play" the effect in real-time, enabling fluid control and seamless transitions between your desired settings. Instantly switch between two distinct settings within the same preset using the HOTSWITCH functionality. With MIXLOCK, the MIX control remains constant as you audition different presets, ensuring consistent levels and a seamless workflow.
