Enhance Harmonics 

Adding warmth and character to your audio can significantly enhance its presence and emotional impact in a mix. Lifeline Dirt uses classic saturation to swerve between subtle warmth and thickness through to hard-hitting distortion and fuzz.

Whether you need delicate textures or aggressive overdrive, Dirt takes on the challenge, effortlessly. Warm your mixes with gentle tape or tube saturation, or add a gritty edge to vocals, guitars, basses, synths and drums with Rectify and Fuzz.

The Tube, Tape, Rectify and Fuzz algorithms instantly add distortion, saturation, aggressive harmonics and noise to any sound you want. Using the Drive, Smooth and Tone controls, the intensity or smoothness of each effect can be easily dialled in to suit any context.   

  • Tube: Smooth saturation for all-around analogue warmth. Increasing the drive provides heavier distortion.
  • Tape: Adds subtle warmth, glue and fullness. Increase the drive for extra punch.
  • Rectify: Introduces extra harmonics and fuzz an octave above the incoming signal.
  • Fuzz: A heavy guitar fuzz for extreme harmonic overtones.
