Fxpansion Maul

Maul features 3 separate drive stages, each of which can act on a different frequency range with 32 distortion types. The available algorithms include DCAM-modelled germanium diode, tube and transistor-based circuits, clippers, overdrives, waveshapers of various kinds and bit-crushing devices for digital distortion flavours. Each drive stage also features control over transient-shaping, saturation circuitry and additional post-process tone filtering.

The built-in TransMod modulation system allows you to animate Maul’s parameters with the internal LFOs, envelope follower and sample & hold devices as well as with external MIDI note input. This turns Maul into a device capable of dynamic filter patterns, rhythmic gating effects, loudness and harmonic excitation effects and dynamic distortion.

Highlights:

• 3-band distortion and tone-shaping device.
• DCAM-modelled circuits, clippers, waveshapers, overdrive, bitcrushing and more.
