CrushStation is a versatile, stereo distortion platform with controls that can enhance a track with creamy saturation or create a brutal sonic assault.
But distortion is just the starting point. CrushStation brings multi-effects to the mix by adding a three-band EQ, Compression, Octave Mix and, Eventide’s unique take on failing hardware, the Sag control. Use the MIX Control to blend your dry signal with CrushStation to create parallel compression, distortion, and other effects.
CrushStation’s combination of ingredients creates a plugin that excels at the three broad ways distortion effects can be deployed. FX expert and author, Alex Case, refers to them as the “3Fs”: FIT, FIX and FEATURE.
“FIX” a weak snare track by adding just a bit of Grit & Compression.
“FIT” finesse the lead into your mix by adding a bit of warmth and bottom.
“FEATURE” the lead by crushing it ‘til it hurts.
“CrushStation has such a broad range of use that it begs for a comprehensive set of presets. We’ve made our best efforts to creating dozens of presets that cover the many ways you’ll want to use it,” said Eventide product manager, Collin Bevan. “CrushStation comes bundled with thirty-five presets so you can always find one that gets you close to where you want to be.”
PunkRock Lobster helps your guitar, bass or synth to sit perfectly in the mix by dialing in warmth and depth. Fat n Snappy uses GRIT to add preamp-style distortion that can help bring out kicks in the mix with. Big Pop Octaves adds subtle distortion and lower octaves for unique pitch blending vocal effects.
