Our take
History & design
Decapitator draws on five studio saturation stages, picked with the A, E, N, T and P style buttons. Drive sets the amount of distortion, Tone tilts the spectrum, the Low Cut (with Thump) and High Cut (with Steep) filters reshape the result, and Mix allows parallel saturation.
Auto output compensates for the gain added by Drive. The plug-in ships as VST, VST3, AU and AAX on macOS and Windows, with iLok protection.
