Distortion Essentials Bundle

Delivering powerfully authentic overdrive, distortion, and fuzz, the Distortion Essentials Bundle for UAD-2 and Apollo interfaces expertly models three vintage grind machines. Each of these classic emulations features Universal Audio's Unison technology, giving you the individual touch, tone, and feel of these prized stompboxes:

• Track in real time through faithful emulations of three legendary distortion pedals with Apollo audio interfaces.
• Dial-in subtle grind or thick, saturated tones with the same pedals used by Jeff Beck, David Gilmour, and Stevie Ray Vaughan.
• Add interesting overdriven textures to guitars, synths, drums, and vocals at mixdown with any UAD-2 hardware.
• Get the same tone, touch, and feel of the original stompboxes thanks to Unison technology for Apollo interface.

Included Plug-Ins:

TS Overdrive

Released in late 1979, the Ibanez Tube Screamer TS808* overdrive pedal quickly became legend for its dynamic, touch-sensitive distortion, and throaty midrange. A mainstay on the pedalboards of Stevie Ray Vaughan, Eric Johnson, Brad Paisley, and more, the TS808 holds a hallowed place in guitar lore. The TS Overdrive for UAD-2 and Apollo nails every detail of this vintage grind machine, allowing guitarists of all styles a vast array of sounds at tracking or mixdown.

Bermuda Triangle

When it comes to unmistakable, classic fuzz/distortion, the Electro-Harmonix Big Muff reins supreme. Vintage Big Muffs are prized for powerfully fat sustain, aggressive attack, and an over-the-top sonic personality. Inspired by the hallowed early-'70's "triangle" version of the Big Muff, the Bermuda Triangle plug-in for UAD-2 and Apollo interfaces delivers the same bad-ass attitude and fiendish fuzz that has graced classic records from Pink Floyd to the White Stripes.

Raw Distortion

Equal parts warm overdrive and raunchy grind, the Pro Co Rat distortion pedal has been a vital cog in countless guitar rigs since the late '70s. From Jeff Beck to John Scofield, players of all stripes revere the Rat's tonal range, smoothness, and heaping amounts of gain. The Raw Distortion for UAD-2 and Apollo is a faithful emulation of this legendary distortion box, delivering all of the grit, dynamics, and raunch of the classic hardware.

Unison Technology for Authentic Tone, Touch, and Feel

The interaction of your instrument and the first pedal in your signal chain is an essential ingredient to capturing a stompbox's unique character and tone. Thanks to Universal Audio's Unison technology, your signal gets the same circuit interaction, gain range, and clip points of these vintage pedals when you plug into a UA audio interface. This gives you the true tone, feel, and response of the original hardware.
