What it does
TRNSHR is BRINGTHEMHELL's modular distortion plugin, a chain of 13 processing stages that can be reordered.
- Dynamics and tone: C888, a 3-band opto compressor with expansion, plus SLAM, DECAP, MONOLITH and MAZE pedals for compression, dynamics removal, density and frequency starvation.
- Distortion and shaping: INFERNO distortion, EXECUTE valves, SHAPESHIFTER hand-drawn waveshaper, SUBTRACT spectral subtraction and FLTR filter with distortion.
- Extras: GRAFT, which fuses external audio onto the signal, SUB GUARD for low-end protection, and XPLOD3 clipped normalization.
- Practical: oversampled, 0.08 ms latency, royalty-free.

When to use it
TRNSHR is a heavy, all-in-one destruction chain aimed at hard-hitting genres. Unlike single-purpose distortions such as Saturn 2 or Devil-Loc, it puts compression, waveshaping and clipping in one reorderable chain, so a whole crushed sound can be built inside one plugin.
- Best for: extreme drums, bass, 808s and sound design.
- Genres: hard techno, hardcore, drum and bass, metal and experimental.
