Iconic distortion is back
With an intuitive interface engineered for inspiration, get ready to create and destroy. From subtle warmth to sonic mutations, everything is possible with Trash.
Trash module - The joy of breaking things
Take your sound in new warped directions, or just have fun mashing things up with over 60 distortion types, like Rusty Bits, Cactus, Noise Art, and Distropia. Blend together up to four different distortion settings with an intuitive XY pad. Plus, add dynamics and movement by modulating the Drive control, which controls the intensity of the distortion, and carve out frequencies for a dramatic effect with the Tilt control.
Convolve module - Follow your impulses
Morph your track into other objects and spaces with over 600 creative impulse responses, including reverse reverbs, piano cabinets, and plexiglass tubes. Blend up to four IRs together with the XY pad and explore new dimensions of sound. Plus, the Impulse Response Loader lets you upload any audio file to bring its sonic characteristics into your track, whether it's your cat's meow or the latest viral clip.
Multiband - Distort across the spectrum
Shape specific parts of your audio by splitting it into low, mid, and high frequency bands. You can add a little distortion to just one part of the spectrum, or go wild and mess everything up.
Envelope Follower - Dynamic distortion
Spice up boring loops with Trash's dynamic distortion capabilities, allowing you to create sounds that blend through one another. Discover sounds you never thought were possible with this intuitive Envelope Follower.
Oversampling - Stop wrapping your sound around
Distortion and audio origami go hand in hand. Happy with how your sound is wrapping around? Keep scrolling. Aliasing destroying your tracks in the wrong way? Switch 4x oversampling on for the Trash module and mangle your sound more cleanly.

Trash is by far one of my favorite plugins for years now, and the new one has a 'scream' variable parameter which is great with an LFO.
Arca, musician/producer
So glad Trash is back. It's a fantastic go-to plugin for all your distortion needs. The new features are super useful.

Some plugins bring that magic, Trash is one of them.
