Drive · Blend · Rare / Medium / Well

7-day trialNotes
Three old preamp circuits on one Drive knob, for mixers and producers who want a track to sound like it's been through something. You turn it up for grit, and the level stays put.
Rare is a germanium module with a transformer, Medium a pentode valve stage, and Well a low-voltage stage with no input pad, which hits a wall early. Each one breaks up in its own way, not just by a different amount.

Questions
Does it get louder as I turn up Drive?
No. On every page, the output is brought back to the loudness of what went in. You hear the drive, not a volume change.
What's Blend for?
It's parallel drive: how much of the driven sound you keep. The dry signal is phase-matched to the driven one, so 50% doesn't hollow out the top end. It's fully wet by default.
Is it clean with Drive at zero?
No, on purpose. Each page's transformers, bandwidth and noise are there from the first sample. The knob adds drive on top.
Can I automate the page switch?
Yes. Switching pages while audio plays crossfades, with no burst.
What happens when the trial ends?
The plugin stays in your sessions and passes audio through untouched until you activate it. It never goes silent, and your projects still open.
How many computers?
Up to three at once. You can release a computer from inside the plugin and activate another.
Can I get my money back?
Yes. Email support@oddduckaudio.com within 14 days of buying it, from the address you bought with, for a full refund.
