Izotope Trash Distortion Plug-In

Distortion, the perfect seasoning for any track. A hint of tape saturation on a vocal track. A dash of overdrive on a keyboard part. A pinch of fuzz on a lead guitar. No matter what you're serving, a little distortion goes a long way towards getting a good sound.

Perhaps your taste isn't subtle, though. A rectified overdrive that demands attention. Multiband silicon transistors that burn the roof of your mouth. Lo-fi aliased drums that leave you wanting more.

iZotope Trash is your 64-bit spice rack of distortion. No matter what you're serving, it's got something to add to your tracks.

Multiband Dual-Stage Distortion
48 distortion types. Chain them. Multiband them. Trash it. The heart and soul of Trash -- distortion algorithms.

Chain pairs of distortions together for sonic destruction at 64-bit precision. Split the signal into multiple bands and apply distortion independently to individual frequencies. It's not pretty -- it's beautiful.

Overdrive: 12AX7 tubes. 6L6 tubes. Transistors. EL34 pentode tubes. Tape Saturation. All your old friends are here.

Distortion: Symmetrical clipping. Asymmetric limiting. Harmonic distortion. Sounds you know and sounds you've never heard before.

Fuzz: Can't get no satisfaction? A half dozen fuzz algorithms, from smooth germanium transistor fuzz to harsh silicon clipping fuzz boxes.

Retro: Classic lo-fi distortion effects. Bit decimators and aliasing algorithms that will take you back to the early 80s. Wave rectifiers that will take you back to Woodstock.

Faulty: Blown out transistors. Cold solder joints. Radio noise. Static. Sometimes you've got to go beyond what works and try something that's just plain broken.

Box Modeling
85 box, cabinet and speaker models. Standard classics. Big stacks. Experimental designs. We'll give it to you straight: Trash is a killer amp simulator.

Extremely realistic modeling of amp cabinets and speakers using convolution modeling. Classics, combos, boutique models, stacks... a tone and character for any occasion.

iZotope went beyond the normal boxes you find in the music stores, though. Telephones. Clock Radios. Sheet Metal. Plexiglass tubes. Piano cabinets. Tin cans. And a whole bunch of cabinets that don't even exist in the material world. When it comes to amp modeling, Trash can be as real or unreal as you want.

Lots of Filters
36 sweepable filter types. Analog, resonant, clean, saturated and more.

As any connoisseur of distortion knows -- tone is everything. Trash gives you prefiltering to drive the frequencies you want into distortion, and postfiltering to tame the ones you don't want. Shape the tone, make it wah, make it cry, make it scream.

Synth Filters: Fat and juicy analog synth filters. Great on synths. And anything else.

Standard Analogs: Analog modeled classic EQ. Clean and warm.

Resonant and Saturated: Edgy filters with dynamic resonance control and saturation.

Talkbox Filters: Sweepable filters with talkbox harmonic control. Make it yell.

Position filters on a realtime spectrum to set gain, resonance or bandwidth. Turn them into sweeping LFO filters. Sweep frequency, resonance, gain -- anything you can position you can sweep. Searching for that classic wah sound? Use envelope triggering to drive a lowpass filter to a higher ground. Searching for anything but that classic wah sound? Let your envelopes trigger the resonance of a filter. Have peaks sweep filters to lower frequencies. Anything you can touch you can trigger. In any direction.

Dynamics
To control the distortion, you've got to control the levels. Trash provides a multiband compressor and noise gate to squash the peaks, silence the noise or just draw out the sustain.

Good meters. Extreme ranges. Great sound. Bring out the body and kill the noise.

Standard iZotope Features
iZotope does things a little differently. Little things that process audio with higher quality sound. Little things that help you use effects more efficiently. Little things that make effects fun to use. Little things that make a difference.

- 64 bit processing. Tight precision and extreme dynamics.

- History and Undo. Experiment. Undo. Go back.

- Preset Manager. Sort by name or last used. Add comments to presets. Take part of one preset and assign it to another preset. Update a preset with a single click.

- Meters. Spectrums, third octave, critical bands. Dynamics histograms. Peak or RMS level meters.

- Extensive shortcut key and wheel mouse support

- Options that let you customize functionality, UI, CPU usage and more.

Delay
The perfect non-dairy topping for your Trash -- a Trash delay.

Trash the echo with a selection of classic lo-fi delay flavors. Tape delay with saturation and nonlinear tape machine artifacts. Tape-Tube delay with added tube saturation modeling. Classic analog delay with analog degradation and variation. Lo-fi digital delay with quantization noise and aliasing.
