Obliterate: Free distortion effect plugin by Newfangled Audio

Newfangled Audio has released a new effect plugin that is designed to destroy your audio. The Obliterate distortion filter delivers absurd, over-the-top, digital distortion, perfect for destroyed drums, insane basses, and horror sound design.

Obliterate started life as a filter, but there was a bug in the code. We could have fixed that bug, but we let it fester. Over time that bug grew and mutated. It gained new powers and its anger warped them to its evil will.

Seven years after that initial bug Obliterate can’t be described as a filter at all. Obliterate is more like a new form of resonant distortion. Use cautiously. Use sparingly. And always clean up afterward.

The distortion comes with built-in frequency and resonance control, 2 destruction algorithms, 2 resonant multi-mode filters morphable between lowpass, highpass, bandpass, allpass, and notch. You can click and drag to control all frequencies and resonances at once.

Obliterate is free to download in VST/VST3, AU and AAX formats for Windows and Mac.
