2B Played Music Offers QFX Smush Distortion Plugin for Free (Limited Time)
2B Played Music is offering their foldback distortion plugin, QFX Smush, as a limited-time free download (regular price $19.00).

Foldback Distortion Made Simple

QFX Smush is a one-knob foldback distortion plugin designed for fast and efficient results. Foldback distortion—also known as clipping or overdrive distortion—adds grit, sustain, and harmonic richness to audio signals. While it’s widely used for electric guitars, it’s equally effective on drums, vocals, synth leads, and bass.

When an audio signal exceeds its threshold, the waveform is clipped or “folded back,” introducing harmonics and characteristically saturated textures. QFX Smush offers this sound with minimal effort, making it ideal for quick creative processing.

Intuitive Interface and Presets

The plugin features a single large rotary knob for adjusting the distortion level, supported by three preset foldback modes. These settings tailor the intensity and tonal character of the effect, while the plugin handles the complex calculations in the background.

As part of the Quick Effect (QFX One Series), QFX Smush focuses on ease of use and rapid sound design without overwhelming the user with complex panels or deep menus.

Plugin Details
- One-knob foldback distortion
- Three preset foldback modes
- Quick Effect (QFX One Series) design philosophy
- Ideal for guitars, vocals, drums, synths, and more
- Available in VST3 and AU formats for Windows and macOS
Free Download (Limited Time)

To claim your free copy, use code 2BSPRING at checkout before the offer ends on April 11th. More information about the plugin on the 2B Played Music website.
