“IT’S WILD TO HAVE A ONE-KNOB PLUGIN WITH SUCH FLEXIBILITY"

Escalator is a combination of compression, saturation & distortion that allows you to quickly colour your sound with a variety of flavours.

Instantly energize your sound with the turn of a knob.
Apply lighter settings to get thicker sounds without the mud or ‘crank it’ for a more aggressive sound without all that harshness.

3 Destruction

Escalator will start to introduce a clipping distortion to your signal. Great for making your sounds cut through the mix without them getting too harsh.

“Escalator has replaced almost all
my saturation plugins. It’s not only easier
to use, but it sounds amazing, rich and full!”
