The Abuser plugin promises "aggressive distortion"
Another tool for dirtying up your sound
You probably wouldn't expect a plugin called The Abuser to go particularly gentle on your audio and, sure enough, Audiority's new release is said to be a distortion effect with bite.
Promising to offer a rich sound and be suitable for use in both vintage-inspired and modern productions, it's designed to be used on everything from guitars and bass to synths, drums and more.
Available in VST/AU 32-64-bit formats, The Abuser costs €39 and is available from the Audiority website. That said, it can be yours for €29 until 1 December, and a demo is available, too.
