Billed by its creators as an interactive distortion plug-in, Thermal features a slew of distortion algorithms, as well as traits you perhaps wouldn’t expect of a dedicated distortion effect.
LA’s Output has a solid reputation for building slick and easy-to-use plug-ins, so it’s no surprise that its latest takes this white-hot design-focused approach to the next level. Thermal boasts a minimal aesthetic. Its main page is anchored by a large circular X/Y pad ringed by topographical lines, supported by an adjacent dry/wet fader and input and output level controls. For the main page, that’s your lot.
