Output Thermal v1.0.2 READ

Output Thermal is a distortion and multi-effects plugin for producers who want to shape tone, add grit, and explore more complex processing without starting every patch from scratch. This Windows version combines a multi-stage engine with frequency-band splitting, letting you target different parts of a sound rather than applying the same distortion across the spectrum.

With more than 15 distortion types and 250 presets, Thermal offers plenty of starting points for experimenting with drums, bass, synths, and other sources. Its circular XY control blends multiple parameters at once, making it useful for quickly auditioning tonal changes or refining a preset into something more personal.

Beyond distortion, you get nine built-in effects, a master compressor and filter, plus mid-side and time-based width controls. Interactive waveform manipulation adds another way to reshape your audio. Parameter value readouts and tooltips on the Advanced page help explain the controls, while preset favorites keep useful sounds easy to find.

Thermal suits hobby producers and sound designers looking for detailed distortion control alongside an approachable preset-based workflow.
