Klanghelm SDRR2

What Klanghelm SDRR2 is
Klanghelm SDRR2 is a saturation plugin for shaping the tone and dynamics of audio tracks. It has four modes—TUBE, DIGI, FUZZ, and DESK—with distinct crosstalk behavior. TUBE offers two blendable two-stage preamp models: WARM focuses on smoothing transients and compression, while SIZZLE emphasizes harmonics from driven transients. DIGI adds even or odd harmonics and can reduce bit depth or sample rate. FUZZ models two modified germanium fuzz pedals, with lower distortion levels intended to suit mastering as well as other uses. DESK combines a two-band EQ with saturation and transient-response controls. The plugin can also be used for compression, EQ, bit-crushing, sample-rate reduction, stereo widening, and transient shaping; its DRIFT control adds movement. Oversampling is supported. A perpetual license costs 23.00 EUR once. Windows support requires Windows 10 or higher (64-bit); macOS support requires version 10.13 or higher. Formats include VST, VST3, and AAX Native on Windows, with AU also available on macOS. Klanghelm does not offer demo versions.
