SoundSpot has released a free distortion tool called Ravage Lite, which is only freeware for a limited time and is a foretaste of the upcoming great tool Ravage Creative Distortion plugin, which is perfect for when you just need a touch of extra warmth and sparkle in a highly CPU friendly way.

Ravage Lite is super easy to use as there is only one large Distortion Intensity Drive Knob and two volume and oversampling knobs (up to 16x). The Drive parameter adds harmonic overtones to any incoming signals, for example, to help vocals achieve greater assertiveness in the mix. The big and upcoming version of Ravage, on the other hand, will have several distortion modes and several set screws – there are no details yet.
