About Corrosion

Corrosion is an overdrive built around a tanh waveshaper. Bias skews the transfer curve for the even-harmonic warmth of a tube stage, and Character blends from a soft knee to a harder one.

The rectifier stage adds an edge on top: blend it in from half-wave to full-wave rectification, and keep the dry signal under control with parallel compression that affects only the dry path.

Features

  • Tanh waveshaper with up to 75x drive.
  • Asymmetric bias for even-harmonic warmth.
  • Character control from a soft knee to a harder one.
  • Color low-pass with a matching presence and dip EQ on the same knob.
  • Optional half-wave to full-wave rectifier for a heavier flavor.
  • Parallel compression on the dry path only.
