Phase Distortion

Kilohearts

Where to get itAvailable from Kiloheartskilohearts.com

Phase Distortion is a distortion effect that modulates the phase of individual harmonics in the input signal, with the modulation amount controlled by the signal itself in an FM feedback-like manner. The plugin offers independent control over distortion amount, normalization, tone filtering, phase bias, stereo spread, and dry/wet mix, allowing for both subtle and aggressive harmonic manipulation.

Written from the manual and checked against it. How we check

Key Features

01Phase offset modulation controlled by signal level
02Drive control for distortion amount
03Normalize function for input-gain insensitivity
04Tone control to reduce high-frequency noise
05Bias parameter for constant phase offset
06Spread control for stereo phase effects
07Dry/wet mix parameter

Things to Try

  • 01Use the Normalize function to keep the effect consistent across varying input levels
  • 02Adjust Tone to reduce aliasing artifacts when using high Drive settings
  • 03Enable Spread for a wider stereo image while maintaining phase coherence
  • 04Lower Mix to blend undistorted signal with the phase-modulated harmonics
