The Malcolm Toft PUNISHR+ Harmonic Distortion Rack builds on the uniqueness and success of the 500 series PunishR, giving your two channels of saturation shaping in a single rack space, with the addition of an instrument DI on each channel! This expands the sonic sculpting capabilities.
The Malcolm Toft PUNISHR+ Harmonic Distortion Rack is an advanced 1u 19" rack-format unit that offers two channels of analogue harmonic saturation. It is designed to elevate the audio experience for professionals seeking high-quality distortion and saturation effects. The PUNISHR+ includes two channels with identical circuitry to the original PUNISHR 500 module. Without the limitations of the 500 series format, PUNISHR+ now features a front panel 500k Instrument (Hi-Z) input with 30db of gain as well as two independent 10db+ gain output controls (with a dented centre at 0db) which are post-dry/wet blend.
The unit offers three distinct harmonic distortion types—Symmetrical (SYM), Asymmetrical (ASYM), and Iron Transformer Saturation (IRON)—allowing users to clip the waveform in different ways. An input drive LED indicates when a steady signal reaches 0dbm, and automatic gain levelling circuitry ensures consistent output. Inspired by 1970s designs, the shelving EQ includes settings at 100Hz and 8kHz. At the same time, sweepable high-pass and low-pass filters offer flexibility from 30Hz to 350Hz and 1.5kHz to 20kHz, respectively, with smooth 12db per octave musical filter slopes. The EQ and filter circuits can be positioned as either pre- or post-saturation circuits. The PUNISHR+ also includes a SUM mode, which simultaneously feeds the input to all three saturation circuits. An overall continuously variable dry/wet mix control and two independent 10db+ gain output controls (with a dented centre at 0db) are post-dry/wet blend provide further finetuning capabilities.Construction and Connectivity.
