Product Information

For years, distortion and saturation effects have only seen incremental advances. THERMAL breaks ground with a multi-stage engine that goes far beyond what multi-band distortions traditionally accomplish, inviting experimentation and inspiring creativity. The XY control provides an easy interface to enhance harmonics by tapping into its layered engines, each with analog and digital distortion algorithms, effects, modulation, and imaging.

What's Included:

  • 250 presets for immediate playability
  • A circular XY visualizer linked to distortion parameters
  • Powerful, multi-stage distortion and effects processing
  • Interactive waveform manipulation
  • Mid-side and time-based width
  • 15+ custom distortion types
  • 9 built-in FX with an additional Master Compressor and filter
  • Value readout panel for better understanding of controls
  • Favoriting feature in Presets menu
  • Built-in Tool Tips on Advanced page

Compatible with macOS and Windows.
Available as AU, AAX, and VST.

Is this the full version of Thermal?

Is there any interest or extra charge?
