this is another weird experimental "thing" that i came up with. instead of bands being parallel i decided for it to all be in series to create the most "digital" sounding distortion possible. this is a recreation of a distortion thing i made in ableton a few days ago. the key differences being the gains are far more scaled down on audiotool (surprisingly). this makes the effect a lot less dramatic, but the tradeoff is that audiotool's waveshaper has a different algorithm that sounds different than ableton's saturator. almost everything else is the exact same though!

if you want to play around with this yourself, here are some things to consider:

the 3 eqs can be adjusted as individual "bands" of the distortion - turning the low up/down, the mid and the high etc. in between each eq there is a soft clipper and a tinygain. those tinygains only go to 9 (as opposed to abletons 36 on the saturator) so if you really really want more gain you can add it yourself. turn these up to the same value for consistency

notes:

there is an eq before the final clipping distortion that was supposed to act as a dc filter. it served its purpose but it also does something weird by altering the signal's low end: it makes the tone more "flat" and almost acts like a fuzz pedal.

i added the tube distortion at the end because i like how it sounds. you can mess with it or take it off idc

thanks for listening :)
