Live Product / GainPilot Clip Utility / $5

Soft/hard clipping with RMS Match.

GainPilot Clip gives you soft and hard clipping with 4x oversampling, a dry/wet blend, and a CRT waveform display that shows exactly what is being clipped. RMS Match handles loudness compensation from real measurement.

01 / Action

See it in action

Soft vs hard clip, CRT waveform feedback, and one-click RMS Match makeup.

02 / Features

Features

Soft + Hard Clip Soft mode delivers warm, musical saturation with even harmonics. Hard mode is a precise digital clip - transparent until you push it.
4x Oversampling Built-in upsampling reduces aliasing for cleaner clipping. Always on - no configuration.
CRT Waveform Real-time pre/post waveform overlay on a retro CRT screen. See exactly how the clipper shapes your signal.
Blend Dry/wet mix for parallel clipping. Dial in subtle warmth at low blend, or go full clip at 100%. At 0%, true bypass.
Input + Output Gain Drive into the clipper with Input Gain, set your output level independently.
Clip Amount Peak-hold display shows exactly how many dB are being clipped. Click to reset.
RMS Match One-click makeup from measured loudness loss - not -ceiling guesswork. Click once, wait ~2 seconds, done.
DC Blocker Built-in high-pass removes DC offset after clipping. Always active.

  • 5. Dial in Blend - mix processed and dry signal to taste
