Soundtoys Decapitator

by Soundtoys

Analog-modelled saturation, from subtle warmth to obvious grit.

Overview

Decapitator models five analog units in a single interface. It's equally at home adding a light dusting of warmth or driving a chorus vocal into aggressive distortion.

Best used for

Adding character to rap and pop lead vocals with a single dial.

Why engineers use it

It sounds musical at every setting, and the tone control lets you shape the harmonics rather than just adding them.
