REQ: Lunacy Audio Volt Dynamic Analog Distortion for BEAM

Volt is a creative 3-in-1 distortion module designed for BEAM, our multi-effects engine.

Combining analog-inspired saturation, multi-band compression, and digital bit-shaping with a dynamic feedback delay network, Volt can electrify any sound. Add warmth, punch, and unpredictable resonances to any signal, from subtle tube-inspired drive to radical bit-crushing chaos.

Analog Amp Emulation
The Heat Knob introduces a warm, asymmetrical tube-like saturation. Low values provide gentle coloration. Higher values drive the signal into thick, amplifier-style fuzz and overdrive.

Digital Bit-Shaping
The Crush Knob manipulates underlying audio bits for crunchy digital artifacts and edgy textures. Keep it subtle for added bite and crispiness, or crank it high for glitchy, bitcrushing chaos.

Multi-Band Compression
The Charge Knob applies a dynamic multi-band compression to the signal. Low settings add subtle brightening and dynamic punch, while higher values deliver a more pronounced, shimmering lift with mild saturation.

Feedback Delay Network
The Feedback Delay Network in Volt integrates the Heat, Charge, and Crush effects into a dynamic feedback system inspired by the organic feedback resonance of guitar amplifiers.
Combine these controls to take your sound in exciting new directions—from sculpting tight, controlled saturation to expansive, reverb-like resonances.
