Dynamite

A customizable LV2 distortion plugin.

Dynamite has two modes: Clipping and Distortion. Clipping works by amplifying the audio signal (the “Drive” setting), cutting it off at a certain frequency (the “Threshold” setting), and then applying makeup gain (the “Gain” setting). Transmogrifier works by rounding the wave to a square wave, cutting out amplitudes below the “noise threshold”, and applying makeup gain (generally negative, to prevent hearing loss).

The UI is GTK2-based (since I use Ardour), so it may not work with all DAWs.
