ERB N DUB / One-dial effects
Weight. Dynamics. Metallic movement. PhatForge, PushForge and PitchForge give you three distinct ways to shape a sound, each built around one main dial.
Created by ERB N DUB, drawing on 20 years of producing, mixing and shaping drums and bass.

WEIGHT / DENSITY / CHARACTER
One Amount dial coordinates saturation, multiband dynamics and phase/ambience processing. Shape drums, bass, synths or a group without building the chain yourself.
Coming soon
DRIVE / MULTIBAND DYNAMICS
Drive two fixed multiband compressors with the central Amount dial. Set the input, raise Amount and hear how the chain responds to your drums, bass or bus.
Coming soon
METALLIC TEXTURE / FREQUENCY SHIFTING
Give snares, percussion and bass a metallic edge. One SHIFT dial moves every frequency by the same Hz offset, taking the sound into new, inharmonic territory.

CHOOSE THE SOUND
| Your control | PhatForge | PushForge | PitchForge |
|---|---|---|---|
| Main dial | Amount: 0–127 | Amount: 0–127 | SHIFT: −24 to +24 semitone steps, or −5000 to +5000 Hz |
| What it changes | Combined saturation, dynamics and phase/ambience | Gain into two fixed multiband compressors | A fixed Hz offset for metallic, inharmonic textures |
| Level controls | Input & Drive / Output | Input & Drive / Output | Input & Drive / Output |
| Final clipping | Switchable sample-peak clipper | Switchable sample-peak clipper | Switchable sample-peak clipper |
| A different attack | Coordinated weight and character | Two stages of multiband dynamics | Hit Reset for a consistent modulation starting phase |
LEVEL / CHARACTER / CONTEXT
Control how strongly the sound enters the processing. PushForge’s input lights help you check the level before the Amount stage.
Turn Amount in PhatForge or PushForge, or move SHIFT for a new texture. Listen to the body, attack and movement in the track.
Set the final level, choose Clip on or off, and compare with Bypass at a similar perceived loudness.
GOOD TO KNOW
No. PhatForge combines saturation, multiband dynamics and phase/ambience processing. PushForge feeds two fixed multiband compressors. They share a focused interface, with different processing underneath.
No. PhatForge’s Amount controls the combined processing. PushForge’s Amount changes gain into its fixed compressor chain.
No. Both plugins still process at their main dial’s zero setting. Use Bypass to compare with the original signal.
No. Every component moves by the same Hz offset. The semitone scale provides stepped settings; it does not transpose the harmonic series proportionally. Use PitchForge for metallic character and sound design.
Detected attacks restart modulation phase for both channels together while keeping your chosen SHIFT amount. Turn it off for continuous phase movement on sustained sounds.
No. It is a final hard sample-peak clipper at 0 dBFS. Check true peaks separately when preparing a finished master.
