The Distiller Upgrade Black Friday deal takes 50% off the upgrade path from TrapDrive to Distiller by Diginoiz, bringing it to $9.50 until Nov 27, 2026. It is aimed at TrapDrive owners; the maker lists a separate standard purchase path for everyone else.
Distiller is a multi-effect plugin that pairs distortion with filtering. The maker's pitch is that these are the two oldest tools for shaping sound: cranked amp gain on one side, the synth filter on the other.
It runs a filter and a distortion stage that you can blend between two distortion types. The maker says it covers everything from removing unwanted frequencies to adding rich harmonics, and from classic saturation to wavetable-style distortion.
It also lists lo-fi textures and contemporary bass sound design as targets.
The filter can sit before or after the distortion, so you can reorder the chain depending on whether you want to drive a filtered signal or filter a driven one.
The classic state variable filters add gain to the passband as the slope gets steeper. The precise versions do not.
Choose from seven modulation waveforms: sine, triangle, square, upward ramp, downward ramp, a random glide, and sample and hold. Free mode lets you dial whole numbers and fractional values on their own, reaching as low as 0.01 Hz.
In sync mode, the multiplier and multiplicand each run from 1 to 64, which covers standard and odd rhythm divisions.
Audio-rate modulation goes up to 200 Hz for extreme effects. The filter's bipolar mode covers the whole frequency range, and Q adds up to 37.5 dB of gain.
An LFO-modulated all-pass filter paired with distortion is how the maker describes getting crisp, sharp sounds or lo-fi wobble and flutter.
A spectrum view shows the input signal and the processing, alongside waveshaping and filter curve visuals. The interface is resizable.
You can set values with the mouse, scroll wheel, arrow keys or by typing them, and a double-click resets any parameter to default. A bypass button sits on the interface, which the maker says helps in some DAWs.
Other controls: dry/wet for parallel processing, a DC blocker and an output soft clip with adjustable threshold.
It ships with 30 factory presets and 60 free loops named after the presets, showing how each might be used.

On Windows it is VST3 only, with no VST2, and needs Windows 7 or later in 64-bit. On Mac it comes as VST3 and AU, also without VST2, and needs macOS 10.11 or later in 64-bit. Native Apple Silicon is supported.
It has 15 distortion types, such as Atan Saturation, Hard Clip, Sine Fold, Triangle Fold and Bit Reduction, plus 29 filter types. The filters include one pole, cascade, and state variable classic and precise designs in low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, notch and all-pass.
You get 30 factory presets and 60 free loops named after those presets, showing possible uses. The plugin also has two LFOs, a spectrum view, dry/wet parallel processing, a DC blocker and an output soft clip with adjustable threshold.
