Description

Discover a new realm of sonic possibilities with the Waves MultiMod Rack, a revolutionary distortion plugin suite that packs a powerful punch. Designed to house Waves’ acclaimed Abbey Road Saturator, Berzerk, and MDMX plugins, this 3-slot virtual rack offers unparalleled flexibility by letting you assign different plugins to low, mid, and high-frequency bands. This unique setup allows you to craft intricate multiband distortions with surgical precision, whether you're looking to add subtle warmth or push the boundaries with extreme sound manipulation.

The MultiMod Rack doesn't stop at distortion. With its built-in effects like autopan, chorus, and reverb, you can further shape your soundscapes, while the 5 powerful modulators—including LFO, sequencer, and amplitude modulation—offer endless creative avenues. Draw custom LFO shapes, switch between modulation sources, and use the input amplitude to bring your sound to life. The 4-band post-processing EQ ensures that you have all the tools you need for detailed sound sculpting.

Ideal for both solo performers and studio producers, the MultiMod Rack is a versatile addition to any setup, complete with 170 artist presets from the likes of Joe Barresi and Devin Townsend. Elevate your projects with the most versatile distortion and saturation suite, and let your creativity run wild.

Waves MultiMod Rack dazzles with its multi-band distortion and versatile modulation capabilities, blending creativity with functionality. The ability to host different distortion plugins across frequency bands is a highlight, though the separate purchase requirement for these plugins could be a drawback. The rack's modulation section, allowing dynamic parameter mapping, stands out. While the visual aspect of the non-distortion effects feels uneven, their sonic quality is impressive. Competing with the likes of FabFilter’s Saturn, MultiMod offers a more cost-effective, deep, and engaging experience for sound designers and mixers, especially those within the Waves subscription ecosystem.
