Multiband saturator

Eclipse Drive

All the heat.
None of the mud.

From gentle warmth to full fuzz. Split your sound into bands, or saturate just the frequencies you pick, with drive that responds to how you play.

Eclipse Drive in Split mode with eight bands and the Prism Stack preset
Split: drive each band differently, with draggable crossovers.
Eclipse Drive in Focus mode with two regions drawn on the spectrum
Focus: saturate only the frequency regions you draw.
Eclipse Drive in Single mode on Fuzz, with the live transfer curve and harmonics
Single: ten characters, with the live transfer curve and harmonics.
Eclipse Drive’s Dynamics page in Tame mode
Dynamics: Push or Tame the drive as you play harder.
Eclipse Drive’s Shaping page on Fuzz with Starve, Sustain and the gate in use
Shaping: cuts, gate, and fuzz starve and sustain.
Eclipse Drive’s Movement page with stepped, tempo-synced movement
Movement: tempo-synced drive that pulses with the beat.

Ten characters

Tape, Triode and Pentode tube, Transformer, Transistor, Soft and Hard clip, Bitcrush, Lo-fi, and Fuzz, each useful from subtle glue to heavy grit.

Split and Focus

Split into up to eight bands with their own character, or use Focus to saturate up to six EQ-shaped regions and leave everything else untouched.

Drive that responds

Dynamics push harder hits into more grit or tame them for control, tone react follows brightness, and movement pulses the drive in time.
