From the mixer.
Into the red.
Inspired by the days of driving 909s into mixers for a hard, overdriven bass drum. Techno, house, gabba, schranz: WRECKstrip starts with that appetite for a sound pushed further.
Load your favourite sound.
Turn the knobs to the right.
Try it on a kick, a bassline or another channel that needs roughening up. Explore the drive and distortion, then use the EQ, Wet / Dry and Output Trim controls to shape the result.
One strip.
A lot to turn.
Input, tone, distortion and output controls share one interface. Follow the channel from top to bottom and explore how each adjustment changes your sound.
Choose your drive.
Select Topology A or B, then work with the separate Channel Input and Preamp Drive controls.
Shape the tone.
A dedicated three-band EQ puts Low, Mid and High controls together in one clearly labelled section.
Find the damage.
Explore Distortion and Filter, then set the balance with the Wet / Dry control.
Finish the strip.
Adjust Output Trim and choose an oversampling setting: 1×, 2×, 4×, 8× or 16×.
Totally free.
Totally WRECKstrip.
Download the VST3 and put it on a channel.
