Key Features
The Rave Generation Rave Distortion 2 is a hardware modelled distortion plugin, inspired by circuits from guitar pedals, synthesizers, mixing consoles, EQs and hardware filter banks. Built for producers who want gritty textures, modular-style filtering, and flexible tonal control in their sound design or mixing workflows, Rave Distortion 2 features two distinct distortion stages, each offering its own unique response and blend control, allowing you to stack saturation for complex harmonic results. The built-in high-pass and low-pass filters are modelled after transistor ladder circuits, delivering smooth sweeps and resonance that can mimic modular synth behaviours. Its onboard EQ section brings additional clarity or character, with variable-width peak bands ideal for shaping midrange energy. The LFO is tempo-syncable, letting you animate filter movements rhythmically across your track. This plugin also includes quality-of-life tools like GUI scaling, undo/redo, and an internal limiter to help streamline your sessions.

The two-stage distortion layout gives you full control over how your signal breaks up. Each stage offers a distinct voicing, with options to shape tone before and after the EQ. You can blend them individually, letting you experiment with everything from light analogue warmth to aggressive clipping. Whether you're pushing drums, vocals, or synths, this setup gives you a wide spectrum of textures.
With a 2-pole resonant high-pass and a 4-pole transistor ladder low-pass, the filter section goes well beyond basic tone shaping. At high settings, the low-pass filter can create self-oscillating resonance similar to Moog-style feedback loops, adding movement and unpredictability. These filters are ideal for building transitions, modulated FX chains, or shaping distorted sounds with more finesse.
The EQ is inspired by the tonal curves and filter behaviours of iconic analogue consoles. With variable bandwidth on the low-mid and high-mid peak bands, you can sculpt with surgical accuracy or apply broader strokes to colour your sound. This makes the plugin equally useful for mix work and creative processing. It can even replicate the low-end curves of classic British EQs for more traditional tonal goals.
Modulate filter frequency with a tempo-synced LFO to add evolving movement to static sounds. Use the DC bias feature to introduce asymmetrical drive for extra warmth or edge. The plugin includes internal limiting and dry/wet controls for each distortion stage, giving you more options when balancing blend and aggression. Undo/redo, GUI scaling, and intuitive controls make it quick to dial in the tone you want without slowing your process.
