Seven ratios. Three colouring modes. One unit that does everything the legendary Distressor does — and then some. The compressor engineers spent decades trying to clone is now in your DAW.
DIST 2 runs Class A tube asymmetric saturation. DIST 3 pushes transformer iron tape emulation. Stack with BRIT Mode for the 1176 all-buttons-in sound. NUKE for total annihilation.
A lifelong musician, vocalist, and composer, I've spent over two decades immersed in music production and audio engineering, shaping sound with precision and intent. During that time, I've produced and mixed over 500 songs across multiple genres — working throughout local and regional scenes while also licensing compositions to record labels and translating creative ideas into commercially viable work.
That same mindset — technical control paired with creative execution — continues to define everything I build. As a performer, I've fronted bands that attracted record deal interest and contributed as a guitarist in a national touring act, gaining firsthand experience across the full spectrum of the music industry, from stage to studio to distribution.
Entirely self-taught, I approach both development and production with a systems-level perspective. In 2025, I founded Vertex Audio, designing and developing audio plugins focused on speed, clarity, and real-world usability. Every tool is built to solve problems efficiently — no excess, no friction, just results.
