Introducing Waves Berzerk Distortion, the ultimate distortion plugin designed to break the rules and spark limitless creativity.

It goes far beyond the typical boutique analog stompbox emulations, delivering deeper parameter control, wilder creative options, and unprecedented groundbreaking features, allowing you to twist, shape, and destroy audio at will to create your own unique, signature sounds.

From subtle saturation and warmth to complete sonic annihilation, Berzerk handles it all with ease. This powerful tool isn't just about adding 'dirt'; it's a core weapon for creative sound design. You can use its unique Feedback section to generate controllable screams, hit the 'Go Berzerk' button to randomly generate ever-changing distortion shapes, or use the sophisticated dynamics module to breathe life into your sound. Whether you're processing guitars, bass, synths, drums, or vocals, this powerful Waves plugin will add unprecedented character and energy to your productions, helping you break through creative blocks and enter a new dimension of sonic possibilities.

Key Features & Use Cases

Go Beyond Traditional Distortion Shaping
Berzerk includes 10 unique distortion shapes, each of which can be deeply customized with the 'Density' knob to fundamentally alter the waveform's character. This means you don't just have 10 fixed distortion types, but a nearly infinite combination of tones, completely surpassing the limits of traditional effects.

Unique "Go Berzerk" Feature
When inspiration runs dry, just click the 'Go Berzerk' button, and the plugin will intelligently randomize unique and surprising distortion shapes based on your selected waveform. Every click is an unknown sonic adventure—your secret weapon for breaking creative deadlocks and discovering new sounds.

Built-in Dynamics & Feedback Control
Berzerk integrates a sophisticated dynamics section, including an Up/Down Compressor/Expander with M/S (Mid/Side) mode, allowing the distortion to react intelligently to your playing dynamics. Meanwhile, the unique Feedback section with pitch/speed modulation can create a range of highly musical effects, from controlled resonance to out-of-control screaming.

Advanced Stereo & Mid/Side Processing
The plugin offers full Stereo, Mid, and Side independent processing capabilities. You can choose to apply heavy distortion only to the mid-channel while keeping the sides clean, or vice versa, bringing greater width and depth to your mix.

Wide Range of Applications
Berzerk is designed for versatility. It's not just ideal for electric guitars and bass; it can add aggression to synth leads, make drum kits sound punchier and grittier, and even give vocals a unique industrial texture or warm tube saturation. It's the indispensable 'Swiss Army knife' in your sonic toolkit.
