Plugin Boutique has made its DriveMod distortion and modulation plugin available for $1 until August 10, 2024.
The Windows and macOS plugin usually costs $49, but you can pick it up for only $1 with the coupon code DM-1 on Plugin Boutique’s website.
It’s not the only spicy deal that Plugin Boutique is offering this month, as the platform is also offering a buy-and-get-one-free agreement on its products throughout August 2024.
So, for only $1, you can get the DriveMod distortion effect plus Softube VCA Compressor ($149) or Imaginando K7D ($40). Act fast, though, as the offer ends in a few days.
To get this deal, add DriveMod to your shopping cart, go to checkout, choose your free gift, and then apply the code DM-1 on the payment page. Check out the screenshot below to see the shopping cart with the screenshot applied.
Now, let’s take a look at what DriveMod offers.
Plugin Boutique describes the plugin as “distortion meets modulation.”
The company states that DriveMod “takes the traditional distortion plugin one step further, combining heated overdrive with added life and movement.”
The plugin allows you to choose from six types of distortion, shape your signal with filtering and gain, and then modulate the results with custom-drawn LFO shapes.
Plugin Boutique lists quite the selection of use cases for DriveMod, such as livening up static loops, creating evolving textures on loops, adding punch and presence to drums, character to leads and vocals, warmth and edge to 808s and bass, generating extreme wavelength shaping for experimental distortion effects and adding glue to a bus or mix.
The main control panel for DriveMod includes a selector for the distortion type, which has the following options: Digital, Tube, Diode, Lin Fold, Zero Sq, and Rectify.
Below are the five main parameters: Input, Drive, Tone, Destroy, and Output.
Plugin Boutique states that the Drive control pushes and distorts the signal, Destroy “fully smashes up any audio,” and the Tone “weigh [s]the distortion’s energy.”
The developer also includes the Auto-gain function to automatically balance the output signal.
The interface is rounded out by a preset selector, stereo panner, and filter.
The latter two features allow you to take the wet distortion signal, filter it to a precise frequency band, and then place it in the stereo field.
Eagle-eyed readers may note that DriveMod is a repackaged version of the Soundspot plugin Ravage.
Plugin Boutique acquired Soundspot’s inventory of plugins in October 2023 after the latter business shut down operations.
The user interface of DriveMod has been given a visual refresh, but the plugin’s operation remains similar to the original release.
DriveMod is a 64-bit exclusive release available for Windows (VST, VST3, AAX, standalone) and macOS (VST, VST3, AU, AAX, standalone.)
