MicroFX Obscene Black Friday pricing is $39, 20% off, with the deal ending Dec 18, 2026, on the Heavyocity distortion plugin that packs three destruction modes behind a single X|Y pad.
The maker pitches it as distortion on steroids. Where a typical drive plugin gives you one flavour, this one splits into three.
It is a distortion and bit-crushing effect built around a streamlined interface. The maker says it is meant to obliterate your instruments, and the three modes are the route there.
Heavyocity says the design takes the character of analog distortion and pushes it with modern DSP.
The X|Y pad does the main shaping. X sets Drive, which decides how hard the effect hits, and Y sets Frequency, which changes how it responds to different signals.
Four more controls sit beside it: Tone, Movement, Feedback and Ring Modulation. The maker says these add depth so you can sculpt the sound precisely.
Yes. The X|Y modulation lets you draw a modulation path straight onto the pad, with up to 15 nodes. You set the modulation rate and the playback direction, so the effect can evolve instead of sitting still.
That makes it more than a static drive stage. A path across the pad can sweep Drive and Frequency together over time.
The presets are a starting point. The maker says you can change modulation directions, speeds and tonal controls, then save your own sounds.
MicroFX Obscene belongs to Heavyocity's MicroFX line, which the maker describes as focused effect tools with more depth than the small interface suggests.
On Mac it needs macOS 12 or later, and it runs on both Intel and Apple Silicon. On Windows it needs Windows 10 or later.
Supported hosts are Pro Tools 2020+, Live 10+, Cubase 12+, Logic Pro X, DP10+ and Bitwig. If your DAW is on that list, the plugin is built for it.
Yes. The MicroFX Obscene Black Friday deal takes 20% off, bringing the plugin to $39. The offer ends Dec 18, 2026. Heavyocity makes the distortion plugin, which has three modes and an X|Y pad for shaping and animating the effect.
It has three. Blaster is a high-gain pedal-style distortion. Crusher combines heavy drive with bit crushing. Nuke is a broken fuzz with a wild asymmetrical distortion. Each one is a different flavour of the same destructive effect.
Supported hosts are Pro Tools 2020+, Live 10+, Cubase 12+, Logic Pro X, DP10+ and Bitwig. On Mac it needs macOS 12 or later, Intel or Silicon. On Windows it needs Windows 10 or later.
It ships with 33 presets split into two categories, Static and Animated. You can adjust modulation direction, speed and the tonal controls, then save your own sounds, using the X|Y grid to animate up to 15 points.
