3-band Overdrive with stock/free parts

[crimsonwarlock]

I love multi-band distortion. I have the Sabotage RE which does 3-band 'everything', but just as an exercise I made this 3-band overdrive, and it turned out sounding pretty good. It seems useful on almost any material because of the multi-band behavior and the dry/wet and level for each individual band. So, I did a nice layout for it

It uses two Stereo Imagers for the band-splitting, the free Mr Overdrive for the distortion in each band and Pongasoft's A/B 12 Audio In Switch (also free) for the mute-option in each band.

You can grab the needed rack extensions here if needed:

Nice one. Also the RE are pretty good and free from "That Music Company".

Nice one.

Thanks.

For sure. There are commercial overdrives that don't even have this level of control. Putting them in a three-band configuration gives an incredible amount of control. You can go from very subtle warming to extreme overdrive that you can still control in detail.

Great Job, nice design.
I must admit I had forgotten I have the 3 free plugins from TMC.
Thank you.

Thank you, looks good. Could be handy having an output gain control.

I'm going to do a basic 3-band-anything combinator, so anyone can plug in any effect to make it three-band. Will look at your suggestion, the current GUI might need some changes for that.

Looking forward to that.
And thank you for this one.

I hope to get back to some combi-2 dabbling soon
