PAINSTAGER – Filthy, Aggressive Distortion Pedal Plugin

Unleash chaos with PAINSTAGER, a distortion pedal plugin inspired by the legendary Boss HM-2. Designed to sit in front of any amp sim, PAINSTAGER brings filthy, aggressive distortion with a level of control and versatility that goes far beyond the original.

With 19 distinct voicings modeled from iconic HM-2 circuits, plus the ability to chain two voices in series, PAINSTAGER delivers monstrous layers of tone. Whether you want a wall of grinding filth or a razor-sharp attack, this plugin gives you complete command of sonic destruction.

The built-in gate keeps feedback under control (or lets you unleash it at will), while the tightness knob locks down your low end for chugs and palm mutes that slice through the mix. Perfect for hardcore, metal, grind, and any style where aggression is non-negotiable.
