RysUpDistortion is a character distortion + saturator built for grit, heat, and attitude. Drop it on vocals for warmth, on drums for aggression, on guitars for bite, or on the master bus for glue with an edge. What's inside Drive + Character — four saturation flavors (Buzzed, HD, and two more) that range from subtle harmonic warmth to full-on destruction. Feedback loop — post-drive signal fed back in with its own filters, blend, speed, and pitch. Tame it for motion, push it for chaos. Integrated EQ — three-band EQ with active/bypass toggle. Shape the color without leaving the plugin. Sidechain input — duck the feedback and drive off transients, kick drums, or any external source. Output dynamics — blend + threshold on the way out so character never runs away from you. M/S + stereo modes — process mid/side independently for width control. Why producers reach for it Most saturators force you to choose: clean and polite, or destroyed and unusable. Distortion gives you both ends of the dial — and a sidechain + dynamics section so the character tracks the source instead of fighting it. The feedback loop is what makes it unique. Dialed back, it adds harmonic motion that traditional saturators can't. Pushed, it turns into a feedback synth, a resonant distortion, or an instability engine — all controllable from one page. Signal chain placement Vocals: after the compressor, before reverb. Adds grit without burying the vocal. Drums: on a parallel bus, blended back in for attitude. Guitars: front of chain for fuzz, or post-amp for mix-bus character. Synths + bass: anywhere — it's built to take a beating. System requirements AU, VST3, and AAX. macOS (Universal — Intel + Apple Silicon, macOS 11+). Windows 10/11 64-bit. Installed through the RysUpHub app — no installer wrangling.
