Ever tried to give a track attitude by adding distortion, but wound up with a washed out, lifeless sound? Harmonics preserves the dynamics of the original signal, giving you the freedom to control distortion without worrying about the knock-on effects.

Distortion dilemma
Guitars, vocals, drums, bass, even synths often need some extra grit to push them over the edge and make them stand out in the mix, but distortion can sometimes destroy dynamics and cause more problems than it solves. Too little and your sound wonât cut through or fill enough space. Too much and the detail and definition disappear.
Harmonics comes with much more than just five professionally-tuned analog distortion models â youâll also get access to a radical new approach to handling dynamics during the distortion process. Harmonics analyses the incoming signal, and retains the dynamics and detail of the sound even after heavy saturation is applied.
Summary
- Five unique component-modelled distortion sounds  Â
- Dynamic Transient Control technology   Â
- Amount and Character knobs to control the level and flavor of saturation
- High and low cut filters which can be placed before or after distortion
- Wet/dry blend knob for parallel processing
- THD meter, enabling fine control of subtle saturation
