Trash 2 is a distortion plugin designed to add character and aggression to audio tracks across any instrument. It goes beyond a simple distortion effect by combining multiple processing modules—distortion, filtering, dynamics, convolution, and delay—into a complete signal chain system. The plugin's flexibility ranges from classic guitar overdrive to lo-fi digital textures and transparent saturation on vocals or acoustic instruments.
