DJ Swivel BDE Big Distortion Engine
Distortion Plugin
BDE is an earth-shattering distortion plugin featuring several distortion styles, complimentary effects, M/S, and Frequency control over the distortion effect, along with the world's first user-definable dynamic preservation control function, allowing you to maintain the dynamic range of any signal while still applying a distortion effect.
Distortion Styles
BDE features 6 different distortion styles with each getting progressively more destructive. From Cherry Bomb to Nuke and everything in between, BDE offers all the distortion styles you could ever hope for, perfect for Hip Hop, Rock, Pop, and EDM music.
Dynamic Distortion
The world's first dynamic preservation function in a distortion, allowing up to 96dB of dynamic control. Simply put, if you want your reverb tail to sound distorted without raising its volume and altering the dynamics, BDE is the right plugin for you.
Easy to Use
BDE has an auto-leveling function, allowing you to perfectly level out your signal in under 2 seconds. Simply click the detect button, press play on the desired sound, and click once again to lock in the perfect signal level for optimal use.
Complete Control
BDE features a bandpass function allowing you to apply distortion to specific sections of frequency while keeping the rest of your signal clean. In addition, there’s an M/S function allowing you to apply distortion across any aspect of the stereo field. If you want your sides distorted, with the middle portion of your signal clean, BDE has got you covered.
