Where to get itIncluded with Cubase. It is part of that DAW, not a separate download.steinberg.net
Distortion is a straightforward distortion effect plugin that adds crunch and grit to audio tracks by boosting signal levels and coloring the output tone. It includes controls for distortion amount, tonal shaping, feedback recirculation, and stereo spatial effects, with optional oversampling to reduce high-frequency artifacts at the cost of increased CPU usage.
