The v rack Black Friday deal takes 60% off the Rhodes V-Rack, a multi-effect plugin that costs $49.95 until Nov 30, 2026. It packs seven analogue-style stereo effects into one window.
The effects come from the Rhodes MK8 piano's analogue preamp and FX circuit. The maker says this is the first time those effects have been available as a software rack.
The idea is simple: one plugin replaces a stack of separate ones on the channel strip. That means less clutter and one place to dial in your signal chain.
The seven modules are:
Every module has extra parameters beyond the basic knobs.
The maker pitches it for keys, synths, guitars, vocals and beats, from warming a mix to adding some dirt and EQ.
Drive and Compressor have Pre/Post switches. The Drive circuit is diode-based, and the Compressor adds Attack, Threshold and Release faders.
The filter section offers LowPass, HighPass, BandPass and Peak models with variable resonance and Envelope control. The EQ has selectable centre frequencies at 3kHz, 7kHz and 10kHz.
Vari-Pan has Rate and Depth, four preset waveshapes, Audio-Rate Modulation and BPM sync. It also gets continuous waveshaping, slew and smoothing.
Chorus adds Channel Delay, Phase and Spread. The Phaser has Resonance, Phase and Spread on top of Rate/Depth and BPM sync.
The Delay has Time, Feedback and Mix, plus Tap Tempo, BPM sync, Ping-Pong Mode, Jitter, Spread, and Low and High Cut.
You can save and load presets for the full channel strip or for each module separately. There is a Preset Name window and a Parameter window.
Input and Output faders work independently, with selectable metering. A Mono button sits alongside them, and the extended parameters area collapses to keep the window compact.
On Mac, it supports macOS Big Sur (11) through Sonoma (14), on Intel and Apple Silicon. It runs natively or under Rosetta in VST2, VST3, AU and AAX formats.
On Windows 10 and 11, the formats are VST2, VST3 and AAX.
You need 8GB of RAM at minimum, 1.2GB of disk space and a display of at least 1280 x 960. The UI is resizable, and an internet connection is required.
Rhodes notes an issue with its third-party copy protection provider. Its software currently does not work with GarageBand on Macs with Intel processors.
Yes. The Black Friday deal takes 60% off the V-Rack, so the plugin costs $49.95 until Nov 30, 2026. It is a single multi-effect plugin that bundles seven analogue-style effects from the Rhodes MK8 into one rack.
Seven stereo effects: a three-mode Drive, a resonant 3-band parametric EQ with filter models, Vari-Pan, a VCA Compressor with sidechain, a 4-stage VCA Phaser, a Bucket Brigade Chorus and a Bucket Brigade Delay. Each has extended parameters.
On Windows 10 and 11 it comes as VST2, VST3 and AAX. On Mac it comes as VST2, VST3, AU and AAX, with Intel and Apple Silicon support, running native or under Rosetta, from Big Sur (11) through Sonoma (14).
You need 8GB of RAM minimum, 1.2GB of disk space and a display of at least 1280 x 960, with a resizable UI. An internet connection is required. Rhodes says its software does not currently work with GarageBand on Intel Macs.
