PARANOIA is a wild and versatile distortion effect, inspired by the sounds of 90's industrial music and vintage chiptune gear.

Overview

Key Features

Our first version of PARANOIA was added as a free contribution to the Reaper audio workstation software in 2010. Fifteen years in the making, this commercial release is a ground-up rewrite: optimized, extended and improved in every way.

From light "analog" overdrive, to moderate crunch, through to complete waveform annihilation: PARANOIA delivers an expansive sonic palette.

PARANOIA sounds great on drums and guitar, and loves bassy content.

Features include:

• A unique amp-style overdrive, able to add heft to subs and bass, warmth and crunch to drums, and insane damage to heavy guitars.
• A hybrid wave-mangler, with a warm multi-band "preamp" distortion feeding into an incredibly powerful waveshaper.
• A versatile set of unusual filters to sculpt wild tones, including an algorithmic speaker simulation - perfect for weird sounds and "breakout" sections.
• A wavetable LFO, envelope follower, and gate to add motion and movement.
• A comprehensive set of presets, covering territory from subtle tone-shaping, through to practical crunch and overdrive, and on to surprising and unique mix effects.
• A simple but powerful operating model: every plugin control is always visible on the plugin surface, and control ranges have been meticulously optimized for ease of use, and extreme, creative yet usable sounds.
