Key Features

Our first version of PARANOIA was added as a free contribution to the Reaper audio workstation software in 2010. Fifteen years later, 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 digital 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.
  • 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.
