Rave Generation: Rave Distortion 2
Comprehensive audio processor combining analog-modeled filters, tube-inspired EQ, seven saturation characters, and dual distortion stages. From subtle warmth to extreme sonic destruction with up to 16x oversampling.

Features

  • Analog-Modeled Low-Frequency SectionWave Digital Filter modeling with simultaneous boost/attenuation at 30Hz, 60Hz, or 100Hz, enabling the classic trick of boosting and cutting for enhanced low-end clarity
  • Seven Saturation CharactersChoose from Tube, Soft, Transistor, Diode, Digital, Vintage, and Modern - each with unique harmonic profiles and response curves for everything from subtle warmth to aggressive distortion
  • Advanced Oversampling TechnologyUp to 16x oversampling with optimized FIR filtering prevents aliasing while preserving transients. Five quality settings from "Off" to "16x CPU Fire" balance quality and CPU usage
  • Enhanced LFO SystemSix waveform shapes (Sine, Triangle, Saw Up/Down, Square, Random) with tempo-synced rates from 1/64 to 1, plus bipolar depth control for creative modulation effects
  • Dual Distortion ArchitectureTwo independent distortion stages with 0-60dB range, individual dry/wet mixing, and post-gain compensation for complex harmonic generation
  • Comprehensive Filter Section2-pole resonant high-pass (12dB/oct), 4-pole transistor ladder low-pass (24dB/oct), plus surgical low-mid and high-mid peak filters with variable bandwidth
  • Advanced Saturation ControlsSymmetry parameter shapes waveform asymmetry, DC Bias adds controlled offset for tube-like behavior, with -20dB to +20dB drive and output gain ranges
  • Global Mix ControlMaster dry/wet control enables parallel processing while maintaining transients, perfect for bus processing and mastering applications
  • Musical Feedback System Controllable feedback loop with tone shaping from dark (100Hz) to bright (4kHz), routing post-Distortion 1 signal back to pre-Saturation for complex harmonic interactions and sustained tones with built-in stability control
