"This started in 2015 when EPROM showed me how to add the stock Ableton erosion plugin on top of an 808 to make it have a thizzy top. I thought what if I made an entire machine that added all kinds of crackly tops + distortion to glue it together and make it filthy."Barclay Crenshaw. Producer & DJ (Dirtybird)
"Using on every track now. Super intuitive design, instant fizz and easy to control. Everything you need right there on UI. nicely done. Looking forward to future updates with more fizz algorithms maybe>? 5/5"Mark Matsuki. DJ / Producer / Remixer
"Love this filthy plugin. This is my new go to distortion. It has such a great way of enhancing sounds that need that extra BEEF! No sausage fattening necessary. Highly recommend! 5/5"Anthony Lucio. Musician / Songwriter / Producer
What It Does
Nasty Channel is a channel strip that lets you easily add grit, saturation, and distortion to your tracks. Dial in a noise layer to add crunch, grit, or shimmer to your bass, drum, and synth tracks. It serves as both a helpful mixing utility and a powerful creative effect. Add some disturbing girth or subtle thizz to individual tracks, buses, or the master channel. You can get as nasty as you want with this thing.

Backstory
I wanted an easy distortion solution with good sounding thizz that I could add to make it pop in the mix. Most producers don't realize the bass is more about the nasty top and the overdrive than the actual sub bass. There are other plugins that kind of offer these features but not in this simple dirty ass format with good presets. This is the simplest, nastiest circuit available. I recorded all the top end sounds myself through disgusting analog pedals and filters. I found this insane guy who got fired from IBM in 1987 for hacking the mainframe to do all the coding. As long as I keep making fresh chocolate chip cookies he keeps working here.
