Reviews


"A stunning multiband distortion plugin that epitomises the concept of the creative effects plugin." (4.5/5 stars) - Computer Music January 2013

"Paired with an attractive price point and the flexibility we've long appreciated in multi-band EQs and compressors, Maul seems irresistibility." (4/5) - Resident Advisor January 2013

"The more I used Maul, the more applications I found for it" - Sound On Sound November 2013

"Maul enthuses with distinguished, characterful sounds and an elegant and intuitive interface." (translated from German) - Beat Magazine December 2012 issue

"Adding some Maul to sounds really helps them to cut through the mix, to stand out and grab your attention." - AskAudioMag.com December 2012

"The depth and range of FXpansion Maul as a multi-band distortion and tone shaper plug-in is other-worldly, similar to one imbued with the power of pyrokinesis. In essence, It's a fire-starter!" - Soundwrx Digital October 2012

Mix and match distortions per band

Drive stages

Each of Maul's 3 drive stages can act on a different frequency range with any of 32 distortion types and additional transient shaping, saturation and tone filtering. Available algorithms include DCAM-modelled germanium diode, tube and transistor-based circuits, clippers, overdrives, waveshapers of various kinds and bit-crushing devices for digital distortion flavours.

TransMod modulation

Create new, exciting dynamic distortions

Close

TransMod modulation

The built-in TransMod modulation system animates Maul's parameters using the internal envelope follower, LFOs and sample & hold devices as well as with external MIDI note input. Resulting effects include dynamic filter patterns, rhythmic gating effects with extra bite, loudness and harmonic excitation effects and wild, dynamic distortions.
