The MDMX Distortion Black Friday deal brings 69% off Waves' MDMX Distortion Modules, a distortion plugin priced at $29.99 until Nov 26, 2026.
MDMX is a set of virtual distortion stompboxes. The maker says it was inspired by classic guitar pedals but built for any source, with extra features layered on top.
Those extras include mid-side processing, dynamic response and other enhancements. Waves positions the plugin for drums, bass, vocals, guitar and synths alike.
It gives you three classic distortion tones: screamer, overdrive and fuzz. Waves lists use cases that include adding power to drums, building industrial bass sounds, putting a tight edge on vocals, getting guitar fuzz and roughing up synths.
The Temperature control is the part Waves calls innovative. It sets the overall warmth and color of the distortion.
Parallel processing means you can blend the distorted signal under the dry one instead of replacing it. On a bass or drum bus, that keeps the original transients in place while the distortion adds weight.
Mid-side mode lets you drive only the center or only the sides. The separate input level control sets how hard that part hits the distortion.
The plugin ships with 112 presets from award-winning artists and 23 factory presets, so there are 135 starting points in total.
On Mac, MDMX runs on macOS Monterey 12, Ventura 13, Sonoma 14 and Sequoia 15, in VST, AU and AAX formats. On PC, it needs Windows 10 or later, in VST and AAX formats.
If you run Pro Tools, the AAX version is there on both platforms. AU is Mac only.
