RedlightDist

PreSonus

RedlightDist is an analog-distortion emulator with 6 selectable distortion models (Soft Tube, Hard Tube, Bad Tube, Transistor, Fuzz, and OpAmp) that deliver character-focused overdrive processing. Designed for versatile tone-shaping, it combines drive amplification with intelligent frequency filtering and serial staging to create everything from subtle warmth to aggressive saturation.

Key Features

016 distortion types: Soft Tube, Hard Tube, Bad Tube, Transistor, Fuzz, OpAmp
02Drive control variable from 0 to 11 with non-linear increase at 10-11 range
03Switchable 1, 2, or 3 overdrive stages in serial configuration
04Low Freq filter: 20 Hz to 5 kHz; High Freq filter: 800 Hz to 16 kHz
05Input and Output gain trim: -12 dB to 24 dB each
06Distortion parameter (bias) for Hard and Bad Tube types only: 0 to 10.00
07Wet/dry Mix control for parallel processing (0-100%)

Things to Try

  • 01Set Drive between 10 and 11 for 'really distorted sounds' with significant increase
  • 02Use Low Freq and High Freq filters together to sculpt the distorted tone's frequency range
  • 03Stack multiple overdrive stages (select 2 or 3 Stages) to build cumulative harmonic content
  • 04Enable Distortion parameter on Hard or Bad Tube types to adjust tube working-point bias for character variation
