Vintage Tube Distortion effect
Precisely modeled tube distortion module capturing the sensitivity, warmth, and character of real tube saturation found in analog circuits.
Dynamics, your way
A compressor before the gain stage lets you shape the tube circuit’s response, and a master output limiter tames your fiercely distorted sounds
Parametric EQ
4-Band parametric equalizer provides unparalleled control over your overdriven tones.
Under the hood
Redoptor is a high-quality Vintage Tube Distortion emulator.
The organic sound of a tube amplifier being pushed into breakup has been the gold standard for as long as musicians have been experimenting with overdriven and distorted tones.
The gentle, natural compression and rich blend of even and odd harmonics produced by analog tube circuitry makes any signal feel more powerful, punchy, and alive. Unlike solid-state transistor and fuzz circuits which only produce odd harmonics and limit the incoming signal in a subjectively unnatural and unresponsive way, Redoptor smoothly responds to the dynamics of the source material, just like a real tube amp. This means that loud signals get saturated with more crunch and delicious harmonics, then return to their clean state gradually as their release tail decays. This enables dynamic, sonically pleasing distortions.
