RC-20 Retro Color v2

Creative effects for distinctive sound design

RC-20 Retro Color is a creative effects plugin that recreates the character and imperfections of vintage recording equipment. Its six modules - Noise, Wobble, Distort, Digital, Space and Loss - add anything from subtle analog warmth and tape instability to distortion, lo-fi textures and atmospheric reverbs.

Version 2 expands the original concept with a creative Echo section that processes repeats through the effect modules, adding evolving textures and movement. Additional features include new distortion and reverb types, tempo-synced modulation, flexible signal routing, a redesigned preset browser and an integrated master section with EQ, compression and soft clipping.
