[Feature Request] Button for more Drive gain

Open Phazmaonline opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

First of all, congrats for this wonderful plugin! Was hoping to find a fully featured multi-band Distortion/Clipper plugin like this for a long time.

The only thing I am really missing is a little more gain for the drive knob. Seems to go up to +40dB, right? I'd love to have at least +60dB for really aggressive, fuzzy distortion which brings out all the overtones and noise even in low input signals with simple frequency spectrums and brings all the little noises from quiet parts in samples to the front.

If you feel the current drive range is good for most situations, maybe an implementation idea could be to add a third button under L and S buttons (perhaps something like A for "aggresive" or E for "extreme") which expands the range of the the drive knob when enabled?

Added in 8e792efdf6324b9cbaa0e5a50647e46f1e30ce9b. I'll probably have a v1.0.0 release in the next few days.

Great, thanks so much for implementing!

While playing with Fire I had ideas for 2 more features which could be interesting. I will open 2 new issues for them so you can check if they fit your concept and maybe implement them at some point (probably too late now for v.1.0.0).

Thanks again for adding the extreme button. I just tested it in v1.0.0 and it looks like the button adds a boost of 20dB at the input. Would have been cool if enabling the E button instead of simply adding 20dB of input gain changed the drive knob range from 0dB-40dB to 0dB-60dB, so the user could still turn the knob from no distortion to a maximum of 60dB distortion and not start already at +20dB.
