Lunacy Audio have released Volt, available at the intro price of $29.00, increasing to $49.00 after the promotion.
Volt is a creative 3-in-1 distortion module designed for BEAM, our multi-effects engine.
Combining analog-inspired saturation, multi-band compression, and digital bit-shaping with a dynamic feedback delay network, Volt can electrify any sound. Add warmth, punch, and unpredictable resonances to any signal, from subtle tube-inspired drive to radical bit-crushing chaos.
The Heat Knob introduces a warm, asymmetrical tube-like saturation. Low values provide gentle coloration. Higher values drive the signal into thick, amplifier-style fuzz and overdrive. The Crush Knob manipulates underlying audio bits for crunchy digital artifacts and edgy textures. Keep it subtle for added bite and crispiness, or crank it high for glitchy, bitcrushing chaos. The Charge Knob applies a dynamic multi-band compression to the signal. Low settings add subtle brightening and dynamic punch, while higher values deliver a more pronounced, shimmering lift with mild saturation.
The Feedback Delay Network in Volt integrates the Heat, Charge, and Crush effects into a dynamic feedback system inspired by the organic feedback resonance of guitar amplifiers. Combine these controls to take your sound in exciting new directions—from sculpting tight, controlled saturation to expansive, reverb-like resonances.
Features include:
- Volt Node – Access the Volt features inside BEAM with the ability to use up to 3 Volt nodes in serial or parallel.
- 75 BEAM Presets – Volt includes a new preset pack called “High Voltage” combining the distortion node with all other BEAM effects.
- 30 Volt Presets – Use distortion settings from some of your favorite sound designers including Geoffrey Day and Dash Glitch.
- Distortion Algorithms – Build your own distortion chain with analog amp saturation, digital bit inversion, and dynamic multi-band compression.
- 30 Cabinet Impulses – BEAM now includes 30 bespoke cabinet impulse responses, sampled from classic amplifiers and speakers.
- Standalone Plugin – Volt will soon be available outside of BEAM as a standalone plugin at no additional charge for users with a valid Volt license (coming April 2025).
