Unlike most traditional distortion effects, Rob Papen's RP-Distort plug-in processor lets you totally define the sound of your distortion, giving you the right distortion style and tone for any occasion. Need to add a bit of grit to your vocals? No problem! How about adding harmonic fuzz to your synth bass? You got it! With Rob Papen's RP-Distort you can create create anything from classic stompbox-style drive to insanely dissonant ring modulation and anything in between. Loaded with 22 distortion types plus a full set of tone-shaping tools, no kind of distortion is out of reach for Rob Papen's RP-Distort plug-in.

Rob Papen RP-Distort Distortion Effect Plug-in Processor at a Glance:

Choose from 22 different kinds of killer distortion types

Even without all of the cool bells and whistles (something Rob Papen's effects are universally known for), RP-Distort would still be a remarkable distortion plug-in effect. That's because Rob Papen loaded RP-Distort with a full complement of 22 awesome distortion styles, each of which gives you a totally different kind of starting point for your sound. Select from traditional distortion styles like tube saturation or fuzz, or go crazy and pile on the ring modulation or lo-fi bit crushing. With so many styles of distortion to chose from, RP-Distort is the perfect way to amp up any sound.

Modular tone-shaping processors let you sculpt your tone

In addition to its full service distortion engine, Rob Papen's RP-Delay offers you three other major tone-shaping tools. First, there's the filter section, which consists of a highpass filter and a lowpass filter, each with its own Q control. Next, there's the compressor section, perfect for adding punch to your sound and thickening up your tone. Last but not least, there's the "widener" section, a powerful spacial-imaging processor that lets you take mono sounds and give them 3D depth and dimension. And best of all, you can stack and arrange these powerful processors in any order you like, giving you even more sound-sculpting possibilities.

Powerful modulation options add life to your distortion

As if 22 distortion styles and a trio of awesome tone-shaping tools wasn't enough, Rob Papen decided to toss in a handful of cool and useful modulation options as well, bringing an element of synthesis to the way you can construct your distortion tones in RP-Distort. Like most Rob Papen plug-ins, just about every one of RP-Distort's parameters is MIDI mappable, giving you the ability to manipulate your distortion effect on the fly via your standard MIDI controller. That's not all, RP-Distort also gives you four tempo-syncable LFOs with a myriad of assignment options, making it easy to create fun and exciting distortion effects that move it time with the beat.
