The rp distort Black Friday deal covers RP-Distort 2 by Rob Papen, a distortion plugin that comes to $34.30 at 30% off, with the offer ending Nov 13, 2026.
This is the full version of RP-Distort 2, and an upgrade version for owners of the original RP-Distort is also available.
The maker calls it the successor to the original RP-Distort. It is a distortion VST built around one distortion module, followed by a filter, a compressor and a widener or chorus.
The distortion module is the core of the plugin. It carries a pre-distortion EQ, a post-distortion EQ and a gate.
The maker lists 52 distortion types, including lo-fi, 2-band distortions, amp and cabinet models and audio modulation.
New in version 2 are the Dual Wave Shapers, which let you build your own distortions.
The EQ can be controlled graphically or with dials in the original RP-Distort mode.
The Disrupt Sphere comes over from Rob Papen's DelSane. It lets you control several modulation parameters at once.
The new Audio Follower can take control of the Disrupt Sphere, so the incoming signal drives the movement. The Audio Follower has a side-input.
Beyond that, modulation runs through the Modulation LFOs and an extended Mod Matrix.
Following the distortion stage you get an analog modeled filter, a compressor, and either a stereo widener or a chorus. You can reshuffle the sequence in which these sit in the signal chain, and the redesigned interface displays the current arrangement.
The feature list names these parts:
On Windows, the plugin runs as 32 and 64 bit VST, VST3 and 64 bit AAX on Windows 7, 8, 10 and 11. PC AAX requires Pro Tools 12 or higher.
On Mac, it is 64 bit AU, VST3, VST and AAX for OS-X 10.13 or higher, and it is compatible with M1 ARM processors.
If you bought the original RP-Distort between 1st February and 25th April 2022, the maker says you can upgrade to version 3 for free by sending your order confirmation to info@robpapen.com.
