Multiband clipper with OTT built in.

Windows note: the Windows build isn't code-signed yet, so SmartScreen may warn once — More info → Run anyway. Start on the OTT Stack preset.
You place the bands
Drag the bars on the analyser to move the crossovers, drag a band's dashed line to set its ceiling. Up to 5 bands, each clipped on its own terms.
OTT built in, on the same bands
An up + down multiband compressor sits before each band's drive, so the clipper receives an already-densified signal. The whole OTT-into-clipper chain in one plugin.
Six clip characters
Crisp, Gold, Tube, Diode, Fuzz and Fold — from a transparent mastering shave through germanium grit to near-square riddim destruction. All a razor hard clip at Grit 0.
Cleaner than 16× at 4×
An anti-aliasing scheme (ADAA) runs under the oversampling. At the default 4× it measures cleaner than plain 16× — for a quarter of the CPU. Or switch it Off if you want it raw.
Listen to what you're removing
LISTEN CLIPPED solos just the energy the clipper is taking out — the fastest way to find the line between loud and destroyed.
Signed and notarized
Mac VST3 + AU, universal (Intel + Apple Silicon), notarized by Apple — installs with no Gatekeeper warning. Windows VST3 + standalone included.
Worth knowing
- Bands sum. The total can exceed any single band's ceiling — the OUTPUT CEILING is the actual guarantee, so leave it on.
- Sample-peak exact, not true-peak. Like nearly every clipper, flat tops carry inter-sample overs. Leave about a dB of headroom on anything going to streaming.
- No copy protection yet. Nothing to activate and no trial timer — your download just works. A licence system is coming; buying now means you're covered when it lands.
What People Are Saying
Volor
"Bass music master tool right here. Being able to drag the crossover points straight on the analyser instead of guessing is a game changer. The Diode clip character is brutal in the best way. Only taking a star off because I wish it loaded a bit faster, but the ADAA oversampling is super clean."
Nite Trails
"Measuring cleaner at 4x oversampling than plain 16x? I was skeptical, but my highs are actually intelligible when clipping a distorted bass. I will never go back to fixed crossover clippers."
Driftwave
"I love that clipping and multiband compression are sharing the exact same splits. Usually my clipper and OTT are fighting each other across the frequency spectrum. This fixes that entirely. The Crisp character is beautifully transparent."
Khalil Hassan
"I have an OTT right after the clipping on the same crossovers. It’s wild how much glue this adds to a dubstep bass. The Fuzz character is totally destroyed in the best way. Just waiting for them to update it out of the early artist build."
