What it is
AWS – FetCrusher is a Max for Live audio effect: FET-style distortion that goes from subtle saturation to proper crush.
Why it matters
Most distortion is either “nothing” or “wrecked.” FetCrusher stays musical in the middle, and deliberate when pushed.
How to use it
Add it to a track or bus, raise Input until it wakes up and add Drive for intensity
Shape with Tone (darker = smoother, brighter = more bite)
Set Output to level-match for honest A/B
Controls:
Input — hit the circuit
Drive — crush amount
Tone — tilt shaping
Output — level match
Starting points
Subtle Thickener: Input slight / Drive low / Tone slightly dark / Output match
Drum Edge: Input moderate / Drive medium / Tone neutral / Output match
Crush (Parallel): Input high / Drive high / Tone to taste / blend in
Where it shines
Drums (edge), bass (audibility), synths (presence), buses (density). Heck even try it on the mixbus ;)
