Drive your tone from creamy saturation to brutal sonic assault. CrushStation is a versatile, best-in-class stereo distortion. Drive your tone from creamy saturation to brutal sonic assault. CrushStation brings multi-effects to your mix by adding 3-band EQ, compression, octave mixing, and Eventide's unique sag control, a nod to failing hardware. Use the MIX control to blend your dry signal with CrushStation to create parallel compression, distortion, and other creative effects. The combination of CrushStation's ingredients creates a superior plugin with three broad ways to deploy distortion effects. 35 presets are meticulously tuned to cover all bases. Drive from a shallow, subtle boost to deep overdrive distortion. GRIT and SUSTAIN venture into fuzz territory. SAG was inspired by Eventide's experience with the sound of dying analog gear, where the power rails sag, causing the amp to sputter, cut out, and produce a "broken" sound. Mix in HIGH OCTAVES and LOW OCTAVES, then crank up DRIVE and SUSTAIN to crush them into massive new textures. GRIT for a gritty, chugging sound in the low end. Shape your tone with the 3-band EQ. Gate the signal to control the aggressive distortion output, or use high-threshold gating and dry MIX for aggressive gated crunch. RIBBON lets you "play" the effect in real-time, providing dynamic and fluid control that morphs back and forth between your chosen settings. HOTSWITCH lets you instantly switch between two different settings within the same preset at the push of a button. MIXLOCK keeps the MIX control constant when auditioning presets.
