Volt

Resonant Analog Distortion

Volt is a creative 3-in-1 distortion module. Previously designed for the BEAM multi-effects engine, Volt, is now offered as a standalone effect plugin. 

Combining analog-inspired saturation, multi-band compression, and digital bitshaping with a dynamic feedback delay network, Volt electrifies anything you plug into it. Add warmth, punch, and unpredictable resonances to any signal, from subtle tube-inspired drive to radical bitcrushing chaos. 

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. 

• Use the Freq Knob to set delay times for each feedback line.
• Offset delay frequencies with Scatter for rhythmic or chaotic movement.
• Adjust Diffusion to control resonances and shape the timbre.
• The Open Knob lets you dial in the intensity of the feedback effect.
• Finally, the universal Depth Knob provides overall control of your distortion mix.

Combine these controls to take your sound in exciting new directions—from sculpting tight, controlled saturation to expansive, reverb-like resonances.

Features

• Volt Plugin: Use Volt as an audio plugin in VST, AU, and AAX formats compatible with all major DAWs.
• Volt in BEAM: For BEAM owners, access the Volt effect inside BEAM with the ability to use up to 3 Volt nodes in serial or parallel.
• 30 Volt Presets: Work faster with a collection of presets crafted by leading sound designers.
• 75 BEAM Presets: For BEAM owners, explore the “High Voltage” preset pack combining the Volt effect with all other BEAM effects.
