Key Features
Rob Papen RP-Distort is a multi-functional distortion plug-in with four sound modules to customise your audio track. Far more than a simple distortion plug-in, RP-Distort is based around four modules that offer flexible processing, making it an all-in-one mixing solution for your projects. 33 unique distortion types spanning everything from amplifier and cabinet simulation, ring modulation, fuzz, octaving and much more offers a wealth of tones to explore. Additionally, a fully-featured compressor, analog-modelled low-pass filter and advanced stereo widener give you complete control over the dynamics, tone and imaging of your sound. A four-band EQ and noise gate are also included to help you to fit your tone within the context of your mix.
Ideal for mixing engineers, producers and musicians, RP-Distort offers comprehensive control over your tracks. Each module can be bypassed to use only one or all four at a time, making it the go-to for any dynamics, stereo widening, filtering or distortion you may need to achieve a professional, studio-quality sound. Expertly designed, RP-Distort also enables you to re-arrange the modules to alter the signal flow of your track. 24 unique signal paths enable you to alter the module arrangement to fine-tune your sonic shaping to fit each and every mix perfectly.
A workhorse of a plug-in, RP-Distort is a must-have for all mixing engineers, musicians and producers looking to add anything from authentic and subtle warmth to audio mangling destruction. Used as a creative effect, you can make a focal point within your mix or simply add analog-flavour to sterile digital tones, with RP-Distort anything is possible.

An integral part of creating a distortion that fits your mix is ensuring that all the components flow in your signal path. With up to 24 unique signal paths to choose from, you can customise the flow of each module within RP-Distort. As well as serving you with the ability to craft the perfect sound for your mix, it can also lead to wild and otherworldly tones. Experimenting with unconventional signal paths can result in a unique sound that can become your sonic signature. Send distortion into a widener with a compressor last in the chain? No problem, it's all possible with RP-Distort.
A secret weapon for many pro-level producers and engineers is their use of distortion. Distortion can take the edge of a transient-heavy drum or can help to add saturation to a vocal to sit within a mix. Not only used for subtle transformations, but distortion can also send a boring and monotonous synth line into a searing lead that cuts through dense mixes. With 27 different kinds of distortion, RP-Distort is the desert island plug-in you need to help achieve the crunching tones you hear on the records you love.
Each variation of the distortion modes offers a unique flavour. Virtually unparalleled in terms of versatility, everything from amplifier and cabinet simulation, ring modulation, octave fuzz and overdrive is presented to add punch, saturation and searing harmonics to your sound.
Not simply a reductive distortion plug-in, there is much more than initially it may seem available to you in RP-Distort. Four independent modules are available to transform dry recordings into release-ready tones. Aside from the main distortion component, RP-Distort offers a meticulously modelled analog-style filter, fully functional compressor, stereo widener, four-band EQ and a noise gate.
Where other plug-ins offer a simple distortion algorithm, Rob Papen likes to take it one step further. At the bottom of the plug-in, you will find a very handy modulation matrix that allows you to add unpredictability and instability to your sound. The modulation matrix features four sources that can be assigned freely to any of the parameters within the plug-in, offering almost limitless creative potential. Four tempo-synced LFOs are also available with adjustable waveshape and speed and can be mapped to any parameter. Dynamic and evolving distortion character that moves with your music or erratic and frantic gating and stereo widening are all possible using the onboard modulation.
