About
What this plugin is
Scorch is an original analog-style saturation and harmonic-drive plugin built for mixes that need bite, not just loudness. Five distinct character models — WARM, PUNCH, FOCUS, THICK and GRIT — each push the signal differently, from subtle tape-style warmth to full-on Redline distortion. Shape the tone going in with Low Cut, High Cut, a steep filter mode and a tilt-style Tone control, then watch exactly how hard you're driving it on the HEAT meter — a true analog-style VU, not a loudness meter. Runs up to 16x oversampling to keep the harmonics clean, ships with 25 factory presets, and works as VST3 / AU on macOS and VST3 on Windows.
Features
What makes it different
WARM, PUNCH, FOCUS, THICK and GRIT each push the signal differently — from subtle tape-style warmth to full-on Redline distortion. Pick the character first, then dial in how far you push it. ALIGN: right --- Watch exactly how hard you're driving it The HEAT meter is a true analog-style VU, not a loudness meter — it shows the actual saturation being applied in real time, so you can push Drive with confidence instead of guessing. ALIGN: left --- Shape the tone before it hits the drive Low Cut, High Cut, a steep filter mode and a tilt-style Tone control let you decide exactly what gets saturated and what stays clean. ALIGN: right --- Clean harmonics, even at extreme settings Runs up to 16x oversampling internally, so pushing Drive hard adds character without harshness or aliasing.

Inside the engine
Core modules
WARM
Subtle, tape-style warmth — gentle harmonic rounding without changing the tonal balance.
PUNCH
Adds forward midrange snap and transient bite, built for drums and bass.
FOCUS
Tightens the low end and narrows the harmonic spread for a cleaner, more controlled drive.
THICK
Thickens the fundamental with denser low-order harmonics — good for filling out thin sources.
GRIT
Full-on Redline distortion — aggressive, high-order harmonics that cut through a mix.
Use cases
Where it fits your workflow
Drums
Add punch and glue to a drum bus without losing transient snap — try PUNCH or FOCUS.
Bass
Thicken a thin bass line and help it translate on small speakers — THICK works well here.
Vocals
A touch of WARM analog-style saturation for presence without harshness.
Mix bus
A subtle GRIT pass across the whole mix for cohesion and a bit of edge.
