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.
Exacting circuit emulation
In addition to its spot-on modeling of hot vacuum tubes being pushed into glorious, creamy distortion, Redoptor packs several features that allow it to accurately mimic the behavior of complex analog circuit components in all their interactive, complimentary glory. Every individual element of the plugin’s signal chain was designed to capture & recreate the quirks and subtleties of proper high-quality analog tube distortion. Additionally, Redoptor’s adjustable tube bias parameter adds subtle amplification of even harmonics and gentle transient reshaping - an extra smattering of grease between your 1’s and 0’s.
Completely adjustable prefilter
Redoptor expands on classic tube guitar amplifier circuitry by offering total control of the preamp’s frequency range. The high and and low cutoffs have optional insert points (before or after the signal is processed) allowing for incredibly versatile sound shaping – from sending lo-fi signals into shredded chaos to full-spectrum tone thickening, it’s really up to you.
The Tone Hunter's Dream EQ
While many typical amplifiers and emulations rely on a fixed graphical EQ offering limited controls, Redoptor features a powerful parametric equalizer with independent gain and frequency control for all 4 bands, allowing you to “hunt” for peaks in your audio, and surgically hush them or shove them into the stratosphere!
Tame Those Dynamics - part 1
We added two studio essentials for creative gain-staging.
Pre-gain compressor module providing even more freedom to sculpt your magnum opus within the Redoptor 2 sandbox. The preliminary compressor reins in peaks, lifts valleys and adds punch to your signal before it hits the highly responsive distortion stage.
Tame Those Dynamics - part 2
We added two studio essentials for creative gain-staging.
The master output limiter tames leftover spikes, polishes your signal and kisses its forehead before sending it on its way.
Character as Unique as you are
Saturation plugins often suffer from thin, metallic overdrive, flat responses and laminated tones. Redoptor perfectly emulates the behavior of classic hot-rodded tube guitar amplifier circuits, allowing it to sound just as good as its real-world analog ancestors.
