Overview

Grit, and only where you want it.

Manny Marroquin Distortion runs distortion in parallel with the dry signal, so it growls and thickens instead of crushing. That approach is what makes it work on digital synths, which tend to sound sterile and sit awkwardly against recorded material. A compressor ahead of the distortion shapes the dynamics going in, the release setting decides how much the effect breathes, and a four-band EQ shapes what comes out.
