Distortion
The classic electric guitar sound is heavily based on distortion effects. These add a fuzzy raspy
tone to any input. You can even use them to make your voice sound like a guitar. Just hum or
‘Oooo’ into a strong distortion setting on the effect.

Fruity Fast Dist - Easy-to-use distortion plugin.
Fruity Squeeze - A Bit-reduction and sample skipping plugin.
Fruity WaveShaper - Define your own distortion curves.
Equalization (EQ)
The classic Bass and Treble controls found on most Hi-fi gear is an example of EQ. FL Studio
comes with a range of very sophisticated EQ effects that allow you to sculpt the tone of sounds
right down to specific frequencies. TIP: Try not to boost too much, rather cut what you don’t want.
For example, rather than turn up the bass, you can turn down the treble.
