Rave Generation Rave Distortion Plug-In

Rave Distortion is a multi-stage analog-style distortion plugin crafted for modern producers. It features dual distortion circuits, diode/transistor shaping, resonant filters, DC bias control, and a 3-band parametric EQ. Shape dynamics and tone with LFO-synced modulation and precision filtering. Ideal for EDM, hardstyle, cinematic sound design, and experimental production. Includes high-quality resampling, GUI scaling, and full undo/redo support. Rave Distortion bridges the gap between analog-style distortion processors and advanced tone-shaping tools. Its dual-stage distortion engine is complemented by a dynamic filter/EQ section that includes a 2-pole resonant high-pass filter and a 4-pole transistor ladder low-pass filter capable of generating Moog-style resonance feedback at high settings, a behaviour typically found in modular synths, rarely in distortion-focused plugins. What sets Rave Distortion apart is its precise control structure inspired by analog EQs and consoles. The low-mid and high-mid peak filters feature variable bandwidth modelled after American and German 8-bus consoles, offering surgical tone shaping alongside expressive harmonic coloration. In Plugin Doctor tests, Rave Distortion’s HP + LF filter configuration accurately replicates the low-end frequency response of classic British console EQs, showcasing its viability not only as a creative saturation tool but also a precise and reliable tone-shaping unit. Key features like DC bias modulation, tempo-synced LFOs, and independent wet/dry blending per distortion stage give it advanced flexibility in both sound design and mixing workflows.
