808 DESTROYER is a one-knob 808 distortion plugin that turns clean sub bass into a heavy, distorted 808 you can hear on every speaker – even on a phone.
Pick a preset, turn up the big knob and let your 808 burn: saturation, crunch, harmonics and bite, all moving together. The sub below 100 Hz always stays clean and mono, so your low end never falls apart.
Perfect for Trap, Hip-Hop, Drill, Techno, Bass House and more.

Key Features
One-Knob Control:
One big knob turns a clean 808 into a heavy, distorted one. Drive, crunch, harmonics and bite all move together.
Clean Mono Sub:
Everything below 100 Hz stays clean and mono. The distortion only works on the harmonics, so your low end stays solid.
Heard on Every Speaker:
BOOM adds harmonics between 120 and 900 Hz, so your 808 comes through even on phones and laptop speakers.
FORGE Panel:
Fold out DRIVE, CRUNCH, BOOM, BITE and HEAT, five drive styles, the LOW / MID / HIGH band buttons and ERUPT for a random new sound.
808 NOTE Display:
Shows which note your 808 is playing, with a tuning bar, so it always sits in key.
15 Presets + Your Own:
From COLD LAVA to MELTDOWN!!!!!!!!!!, with a save system for your own presets.
Five Drive Styles
SMOLDER
Warm, round tape saturation. Thick and smooth, great for melodic 808s. Presets: COLD LAVA, EMBER, LAVA FLOW.
SCORCH
A tube rectifier that growls with octave harmonics. Dark, heavy and huge. Presets: OBSIDIAN, MAGMA, ERUPTION.
IRON
Hard clip: square, metallic and loud. Punchy 808s that cut through the kick. Presets: BASALT, FORGE, ANVIL, SUPERVOLCANO.
MOLTEN
A sine wavefolder: liquid, shimmering and aggressive towards the top. Presets: PYROCLAST, WILDFIRE.
FRACTURE
Broken, gated fuzz that spits and cracks. Lo-fi dirt for the wild stuff. Presets: SLAG, ASH CLOUD, MELTDOWN!!!!!!!!!!
Everything on one screen
Most of the time you only need the big knob: pick a preset, turn it up and your 808 starts to burn. The cracks in the panel glow brighter, sparks fly, and towards the top the ring around the knob catches fire.
Open FORGE when you want more: DRIVE, CRUNCH, BOOM and BITE, HEAT for how hot the style burns, five drive styles, the LOW / MID / HIGH band buttons and ERUPT for a random new sound. The 808 NOTE display shows which note your 808 is playing. Save your favourites as presets and take them to every project.
The window scales freely, and when the plugin is bypassed or the knob sits at 0, everything goes dark.

Frequently asked questions
What exactly does 808 DESTROYER do?
808 DESTROYER turns a clean 808 into a heavy, distorted one. As you turn the one big knob up, it adds saturation, bitcrush, harmonics and attack, shaped by one of five drive styles. The sub below 100 Hz stays clean and mono the whole time, and at 0 the plugin is completely transparent.
What can I use 808 DESTROYER on?
808s first of all, but also basslines, synth bass, kicks and even drum buses. Everything with low end that needs to be heard on small speakers.
Which DAWs are supported?
Any DAW that supports VST3 (Windows/macOS) or AU (macOS) will work.
This includes: Ableton Live, FL Studio, Logic Pro, Cubase, Studio One, Bitwig, Reaper, Pro Tools (via wrapper), and more.
How do I install the plugin?
Your download includes a ZIP file containing the installers for macOS and Windows.
- macOS: Run the .pkg installer (AU + VST3).
- Windows: Run the .exe installer (VST3, x64 + ARM64).
The plugin will appear automatically in your DAW after installation.
Does the plugin introduce latency?
Only a tiny one: 6 samples (about 0.1 ms at 48 kHz), which every modern DAW compensates automatically. That’s the price of 4x oversampling – you won’t notice it, even when playing live.
Is my payment secure?
Yes. Our store is powered by Shopify, one of the most secure e-commerce platforms out there.
All payments are SSL encrypted, and you can pay safely using your preferred method.
