Soundtoys Decapitator

Designed to feel like an extension of Decapitator, with colours and control grouping inspired by the plugin’s own UI.

Drive, Tone, Low Cut, High Cut and Output on knobs 1 to 5, with Dry/Wet on knob 8. The buttons are Device On, Style, Punish, Auto Gain, Thump and Steep.

Made in Ableton Live. Button 1 is Live's own on/off switch for the device, so in another DAW it may control something else.

Tested with the device Somebody has run this into the gear it was made for.

Confirmed working by one owner.
