Rave Generation: Quadrabank

Four-band distortion & fuzz

Rave Generation: Quadrabank
Quadrabank is modeled on the Quadrafuzz from Cubase SX and Nuendo. It splits your signal into four bands and distorts each band on its own, so low and high notes do not smear into each other. You set each band's drive and level and pick one of five distortion curves.

AMOUNT blends the distortion with the clean bands, and SOFTCLIP keeps the output under 0 dBFS.

Includes 40 presets.
