§ what it does

multi-clip fuzz

A two-stage silicon fuzz: a hard-clipping front end into a second, softer clipper, with a gain knob between them. Pushed gently it keeps some warmth; pushed hard it trades that warmth for a wall of saturated, mid-forward bite.

A high-pass ahead of the clipping strips rumble before it can turn to mud, and a wide low-pass after it sweeps the top end.

SAG models a dying battery. The fuzz's own current draw pulls the supply down as you dig in, so the gain starves and the bias slides into gating and sputter, then recovers over a few seconds of rest.

It runs the same DSP as the module in Tangle; nothing is cut down for the standalone version. One licence covers both: this plugin, and the same module unlocked inside the rack.

§ every control

what each knob does

Six controls, no menus. Here they are on the panel itself.

first stagefuzz sets how hard the input drives the first asymmetric tanh clipper.
mid-stage gainthrust is the gain between the stages - it sets how hard stage one pushes stage two.
second stagethe second asymmetric tanh stacks more harmonics onto the already-clipped signal.
output shapingtone shapes the high end and vol trims the level; mix blends against dry.
§ built-in modulation

it modulates itself

Path Of Exile ships with the full CV/logic modulation section every Tangle standalone carries. Pick a modulator, drag a patch cable onto any knob, and that control moves on its own, no DAW automation required.

lfoSmooth cyclic movement: sine, triangle, square, sample & hold, or a shape you draw.
curveA looping contour you draw by hand: smooth, spiked or stepped.
noiseStepped, smoothed or slewed randomness for texture and wander.
transientListens for hits, then fires a trigger plus an envelope on every transient it hears.
env followTracks how loud you are playing and turns that into a control voltage.
timingSpreads hits as evenly as possible across a bar, so rhythms land musically instead of bunched.
memoryA loop of random voltages that repeats until you let it mutate, one step at a time.
driftSix related voltages from two particles moving through a shared field: they drift together, not separately.
§ always recording

it keeps what you just played

A rolling capture strip runs beneath the panel, always recording the plugin's output. No transport, nothing to arm. Played something great while you were just tweaking? Click-drag across the history waveform to select it, then drag the slice straight into your DAW timeline.

ARM flips it to ring-capture for hands-free takes.

§ one purchase, two plugins

it unlocks in tangle too

Path Of Exile is a module from Tangle, the free cable-patchable rack. Buying it here licenses both: this standalone plugin, and path of exile unlocked inside the rack, where you can patch it into any other module you own. There is no second purchase and no upgrade path; the rack itself costs nothing.

Sign in once in the rack and your licences follow your account: a module bought this morning appears at the next licence check, on every machine you install on.
