Overview

Ruina Versio answers the age-old question: how many different types of distortion can
we fit on a single module? The answer is a lot, as it turns out. Need a wavefolder? We
got a wavefolder. Want some multiband distortion? Of course you do! And that’s not
even including the DOOM parameter!

We also decided that Smoosh was a parameter we needed in our lives: press it and add
128dB of drive. Yes, you read that right: 128dB. Why have SOME drive when you can
have ALL the drive?

Not only is RV a unique distortion, it’s a stereo DSP platform. A simple USB connection
allows you to update RV to a variety of firmwares. Open-source support is available,
too, which allows you to write your own firmware! All info can be found on the
