iZotope Trash 2

Trash 2 is a reinvention of iZotope's Trash audio distortion processor. Its look and everything about it is newly redesigned with 20 new distortion algorithms, new filter modules, 50 new impulse response, multi-band wave shaping, 64-bit and AAX support, and better sound quality.
Better sound quality? Distortion has become a kind of personal statement---but with T2 I've found so many new ways to shape sound way beyond just distorting an amplifier signal chain, I'm impressed.
Launching Trash 2 to develop whole galaxies of very distinctive sound treatments that nobody has ever heard before is possible with along list of signal processing modules and over 20 different sweepable filters with envelope modulation.
Now with over 60 distortion shapes, I found T2 to be more adjustable anywhere from subtle coloration to 'over the top' and hairy sounds ready for a 'restraining order'. But "cage" them in ubique spaces courtesy of the new Convolve module with its 100+ different impulse responses. I liked the two redesigned filters for developing alternate tonalities: innocent, dulcet tones all the way to malevolent sonic personalities. At once pretty-sounding audio that speaks with vowel-like sweetness is transformed instantly to hateful, sonic scourges.
Trash 2 is available for $249 MSRP, 195 EUR and the Trash 2 Edge Expansion Pack is well worth $29 getting for the gnarly presets for guitars, synth basses, synth pads, and drum sound twists. With 30 new impulse responses for further tone coloring and 70 new presets built directly for these impulses, the Edge Expansion Pack was born to be bad. Check: www.izotope.com/trash/.
