The new version of our classic emulation of a famous orange pedal
We are thrilled to announce the launch of the HoRNet HDS1 MK2, our latest audio plugin that takes classic guitar distortion to new heights. With this digital recreation of an iconic orange guitar distortion pedal, we’ve designed a powerful tool tailored to musicians and producers looking to achieve dynamic audio manipulation and creative sound shaping. The HDS1 MK2 is the perfect addition to your arsenal, whether you’re working with rock, electronic, or any other genre that thrives on distortion and rich, textured sound.
Classic Diode Distortion:
One of the standout features of the HDS1 MK2 is its classic diode distortion emulation. This feature faithfully recreates the iconic distortion sound that has shaped countless rock anthems and electronic tracks. The timeless character of the pedal is perfect for guitarists and producers who want to add some grit, warmth, and punch to their tracks. Whether you’re aiming for subtle saturation or full-blown overdrive, the HDS1 MK2 gives you the tools to achieve that classic distortion tone.
Advanced Mod Emulations:
For more creative freedom, the HDS1 MK2 offers advanced mod emulations, such as “Ultra,” “Seeing Eye,” and “Less Shrill”. These mods provide unique tonal adjustments that can take your sound to new dimensions. Whether you’re after a smoother, more refined distortion or a more aggressive, biting tone, these modulations will provide the flexibility and range you need to shape the perfect distortion for any track.
Versatile Tone Control:
The tone control on the HDS1 MK2 is one of its most powerful tools. With this, you can easily transition between dark, subtle tones to bright, sharp accents. This makes it incredibly versatile, suiting a wide array of musical styles and giving you the freedom to experiment with different sonic textures. Whether you need to add warmth to a soft guitar riff or sharpen the edge of a heavy bassline, the HDS1 MK2 can deliver.
Improved Analog Emulation:
The analog emulation in the HDS1 MK2 has been further refined to capture the warmth and natural response of analog gear. This feature brings authenticity to your digital productions, ensuring that your sound is rich, full-bodied, and feels like it was recorded with a vintage analog device. The more authentic the sound, the more your production can engage listeners and elevate your tracks to professional quality.
Practical Mixing Tools:
The HDS1 MK2 comes equipped with practical mixing tools designed to give you precise control over your sound. With the Dry/Wet knob, you can blend the processed and unprocessed signal to achieve the perfect balance. The VU meter gives you instant visual feedback on your distortion levels, and with up to 16x oversampling, the plugin ensures that even the most demanding sessions are handled without any artifacts or glitches. These tools make it easier to integrate the HDS1 MK2 into your mix and guarantee consistent sound quality.
Resizable User Interface:
The UI (user interface) of the HDS1 MK2 is designed with usability in mind. Whether you’re working with a small screen or a large monitor, the interface is resizable, making it adaptable to different screen sizes and workflows. This ensures that no matter your production setup, you can always work efficiently with the plugin. The intuitive design makes it easy for both beginners and experienced producers to navigate and achieve great results.
Broad Compatibility:
The HDS1 MK2 offers broad compatibility across different systems. Whether you’re using macOS (version 10.13 and later) or Windows (version 10 and later), this plugin integrates seamlessly into your setup. The plugin supports Audio Units, VST3, and AAX formats, ensuring that it works with all major DAWs and production software. Additionally, it is fully compatible with Apple Silicon, ensuring optimal performance on the latest Mac devices.
