Thenatan is offering their new distortion plugin called DEVIL as a free download until November 20th.
DEVIL is a multi-mode distortion intended to inflict sonic mayhem and destroy sounds in some unique ways. Up for offer are six different types of distortion, ranging from mild tube-based saturation to abrasive and harsh digital distortion.
The interface is simple, offering up to six distortion selections at the bottom of the interface, ranging from mildest to most extreme. With each of these selections, the central graphic of the devil’s head grows larger horns.
Redux acts as a central bitcrusher, adding digital crust and aliasing. Having a bitcrusher handy makes for some creative distortion choices, adding some digital flavor to an otherwise analog-flavored signal.
Devilize acts as the central control applying distortion. It can be a little heavy-handed. Experimentation yielded pleasing saturation at 3-4dB on the first setting. More extreme distortions are immediately apparent with selecting the various modes.
The most extreme setting goes into utter sonic annihilation with just minimal devilize settings and can destroy any signal fed to it in short order.
Claiming your free copy of Devil is relatively simple, with the checkout process only requiring an email to proceed.
After verifying your email address, Devil is deposited in an easily viewed order form. Available formats are equally diverse, with VST and VST3 supported on Windows systems and VST, VST3, and AU supported on Mac computers.
Activation is equally simple, with no intrusive DRM or activation methods present upon installation.
Thenatan calls Devil “an aggressive multi-mode distortion plug-in programmed to thicken up or destroy any sound in unique ways.”
This certainly checks out, as Devil easily unleashes sonic mayhem. The interface is simplistic and clean, though it’s sadly lacking in documentation or a manual.
Devil is lacking in any sort of presets, which is a real shame because it would be nice to see how the developers see its intended use for a variety of instruments and drum sounds.
It’s free for a limited time, so be sure to snag it before it jumps up to the suggested retail price of $50 USD.
