CrushStation is described as a "brickwall-style distortion," which means it implements very hard clipping or aggressive limiting for a bold, compressed distortion sound. It combines intense distortion with compression and filtering to create a powerful, crushed tone that can fatten or heavily grit up audio sources.
The plugin features controls that shape the distortion character, including “drive” and tone-shaping filters, to tailor the harmonic content and texture of the distorted sound. The octave control in CrushStation allows for the blending of pitch-shifted copies of the signal at multiple octaves, adding depth and complexity to the distortion.
CrushStation is versatile, capable of producing a range of tones from subtle saturation to extreme distortion. The Ribbon control in CrushStation can be automated or controlled via MIDI CC, allowing for expressive control over its destructive tones. It also features a three-band EQ and a noise gate.
The Grit control in CrushStation adds additional low-end before the distortion stage for a gnarly and abrasive tone. The Sag parameter simulates the sonic quirks of poorly-designed tube amps for a sputtery, crushed, and broken quality. CrushStation is a stereo distortion and overdrive processor, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
CrushStation is compatible with macOS and Windows and available in VST3/AAX/AU formats. So, if you're looking to add some grit and punch to your audio, give Eventide's CrushStation a try.
