PVRE FILTH
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.

Testimonials
PAINSTAGER is the perfect solution for quick HM-2 style and fuzz tones. It has a bunch of 'go-to' sounds at the click of a button that would normally take a few steps and a while to dial in; so the option to literally insert the plug-in, pick the sounds that works, and mix it in within mere seconds is hard to beat. Not to mention the ability to blend different types of tones together. PAINSTAGER is a no-brainer if you're into these types of tones. Grab it!

“Painstager and Bonestager are absolute BEASTS. As soon as you drop them on a track, everything gets heavier, nastier, and way more unhinged. It’s pure chaos!”

"I always loved to experiment with different combinations of pedals and amps to find new extreme tones for me and the bands I work with - now I can do it in the box with Painstager and Ritual with a couple of mouse clicks. Amazing! "
