The Malcolm Toft PUNISHR Harmonic Distortion Module is a unique piece of gear which has the ability to add three different types of harmonic distortion with 4 tonal shaping processing paths. But that is just the beginning, we hope you enjoy creating sonic mayhem!
The Malcolm Toft PUNISHR Harmonic Distortion Module is an Analogue Harmonic Distortion Module with 4 tonal shaping processing paths designed for mixing or tracking. The Malcolm Toft designed circuit includes 1970’s inspired EQ and musical filters, alongside an Iron transformer with individual bypass and level control for all distortion elements. The EQ section can be placed pre or post the distortion path and there is a unique SUM mode where the three distortion circuits are fed simultaneously. Designed to "Punish Your Audio" and add harmonic distortion to lifeless tracks, or an element of bite and grit to mixes, or sonic mayhem where required! Designed and made in the UK.

Versatile unit
Jun 8th 2023There is a lot of tones you can get with this unit... A lot! You got 3 types of distortion, and can run them solo or in any combination... The sound is then also influenced by the EQ pre button, which puts the EQ before the distortion, and also the SUM button which has a calming and slight cleaning up effect. Useful if you have it a bit too much and SUM just tames it a bit. Also there is a mix control and HP/LP filters. Sound quality is great and in use it is a lot of fun to use. It does interact in unexpected ways sometimes so take a minute to learn it. I mostly use it on breakbeats, bass and synths. It can work on anything really though, but of course some sounds not ideal to be distorted lots. You can add a bit of thickness to things without getting audible distortion, good to get more perceived loudness. All in all I would not hesitate to recommend this unit. It has been well thought out and the filters and EQ sound great as well as the 3 distortions.
