Best no-nonsense clipper
There's not much you can actually dial, and that's a good thing. Listen to your ears - when does it actually clip or distort? Just turn the knobs and you get a nice sounding clipper. It couldn't be more intuitive.

The Prickly Clip
A hard(ish) clipper with one goal in mind - eat your transients for lunch!
The companion to its bigger brother, the Cactus Clipper and Saturator, the Prickly Clip is an extremely quick and dirty, no-nonsense clipper with the simple goal of being the best and easiest to use clipper ever made. Plus with in/out link, the Prickly Clip can give you honest results that show you a genuine end result instantly.
Small size, big bite.
Prickly Clip keeps it simple with just the essentials. Drive your signal with the Input knob, balance it with Output, and hit Link to keep levels steady as you push into clipping. The Mix control lets you blend in just the right amount for parallel grit, while Oversampling cleans up the highs when you need it. Save your favourite moves in the preset menu and get busy clipping! Oh, and don't be afraid to poke around the screws... Prickly isn't all hard edges!
