God Mode Black Friday pricing is 49% off, $35 until Dec 7, 2026, on Denise Audio's saturation plugin that lets you choose exactly which frequencies get saturated and distorted.
The God Mode plugin is built around a push-pull design. A node EQ graph and linear phase filters give you wide control over how the colouration is shaped.
The maker says it was inspired by the Pultec EQ, a passive tube EQ from the 50s that was widely used in the 70s and 80s for broadcasting and mixing.
A Pultec pushed the gain of a frequency range into its tube circuit, then pulled it back to smooth the response. The result sits close to the original sound with added warmth on the boosted ranges. God Mode is a modern take on that technique.
There are two steps:
Because the pushed frequencies hit the saturation algorithm harder, they are affected more by it. The pull stage sets the amount of colouration and lets you keep the overall frequency response balanced.
The features go past the graph. A live mode swaps the linear phase filters for regular filters with no latency, so you can use it while recording.
The side-chain creates rhythmic distortion effects, and the wet and dry signals can be panned individually.
One of the three drive effects uses an "on steroids" version of the Tape Analog VM™ algorithm from Denise's Bad Tape plugin. The maker says it covers subtle saturation on the master as well as extreme distortion on bass, vocals and synths.
The maker's feature list covers an easy-to-use graph, Push & Pull technology, the Tape Analog VM™ algorithm (which also powers Bad Tape), linear phase filters that keep the dry and wet signals aligned when blended, separate panning for the dry and wet paths, a mode for recording live, rhythmic drive from the "side-tape" side chain, and suitability for single instruments, busses and mastering. On Mac, God Mode requires OS X 10.7 or newer, is 64-bit only, and runs natively on Apple Silicon. Formats are VST, VST3, AU and AAX.
On PC, it needs Windows 7 or higher, 64-bit only. Formats are VST, VST3 and AAX.
Yes. The God Mode Black Friday deal is 49% off, bringing the Denise Audio saturation plugin to $35. The deal ends Dec 7, 2026.
Push-pull is inspired by the Pultec EQ. You boost, or push, the frequencies you want saturated so they hit the algorithm harder, then choose how much to pull them back to keep the frequency response balanced.
On Mac it comes as VST, VST3, AU and AAX, 64-bit only, with native Apple Silicon support. On Windows it comes as VST, VST3 and AAX, also 64-bit only. Mac needs OS X 10.7 or newer, Windows needs 7 or higher.
Yes. When tracking in real time, God Mode can switch to standard minimum-phase filtering, so you hear no delay instead of the linear phase processing. It also has a side-chain for rhythmic distortion and individual panning of the wet and dry signal.
