Building a distortion chain with separate plugins means every processor works in isolation. Each stage does its own job without understanding what comes before or after it. Distking takes a different approach. Every processing stage is designed to work as part of one integrated signal chain.
Then route, balance, fine-tune and repeat for every new sound
All eight processing stages work together as one integrated, oversampled signal path. Every stage interacts with the next, allowing the EQs and distortion modules to shape a unified sound rather than operate in isolation. Keep things simple with Easy Mode, or switch to Advanced Mode for complete control.
One plugin. Eight stages. Endless distortion possibilities.
Easy Mode gives you seven carefully selected controls: Freq, Q, Gain, Crunch, Body, Punch and Space. Everything you need to shape your sound quickly, find the right character and keep creating.
Want more control? Switch to Advanced Mode and take command of the complete eight-stage processing chain: Filter, Dist 1, EQ 2, Dist 2, EQ 3, Shaper, EQ 4 and Reverb. Choose from five Macro Characters — Raw, Rawstyle, Euphoric, Uptempo and Zaag — to instantly explore different distortion styles. Fine-tune your sound further with adjustable oversampling from 2× to 8×.
Simple when you want it. Powerful when you need it.
Every stage works together inside one integrated oversampled processing chain. The second distortion stage responds to the harmonics shaped by the EQ before it. The waveshaper builds on the character created by both distortion stages. Nothing operates in isolation. Nothing is simply bolted on.
A flexible filter section featuring parametric high-pass and low-pass filters with selectable slopes of 6, 12, 24 and 48 dB/octave, plus four fully configurable EQ bands. Shape and sculpt your incoming signal before it reaches the first distortion stage. Control exactly which frequencies drive the harmonic generation and how your sound responds to saturation.
Two independent distortion stages, each featuring dedicated Drive and Character controls, separated by a fully parametric EQ. Both stages operate within the same oversampled signal path — the second distortion processes the harmonics already generated by the first, creating complex interactions and richer textures. Stack both stages for dense, aggressive saturation, or combine subtle and extreme settings for contrast and character.
Take your distortion further with a dedicated waveshaping stage positioned after the second distortion. Introduce additional harmonic complexity and nonlinear character beyond conventional clipping and saturation. In Advanced Mode, the transfer curve is displayed in real time, giving you a visual representation of exactly how the waveform is being shaped.
Five carefully designed starting points give you instant access to different distortion flavours: Raw, Rawstyle, Euphoric, Uptempo and Zaag. Each Macro Character configures the entire processing chain to create a distinct sonic direction. Choose your starting point, then fine-tune individual stages to make the sound your own.
A dedicated reverb stage at the end of the processing chain adds space, depth and atmosphere to your distorted sound. Positioned outside the oversampled nonlinear processing block, it adds ambience without introducing additional aliasing from the reverb stage itself. In Easy Mode, the Space knob gives you direct control without having to dive into additional parameters.
Push the entire nonlinear processing chain through selectable 2×, 4× or 8× oversampling to reduce aliasing generated by aggressive distortion and waveshaping. Auto Gain compensates for level changes caused by increasing drive and distortion, making it easier to compare different settings without loudness influencing your decisions.
The download is the full plug-in. Without a licence it runs in demo mode: every twenty seconds the audio briefly mutes for five seconds, then fades back in. Every stage, every parameter, every preset available to try before you decide.
macOS 11 or later, Apple Silicon and Intel: VST3, AU and Standalone.
Windows 10 or later, 64-bit: VST3 and Standalone, with an installer.
Sign in once inside the plug-in, and it stores a signed licence locally. No internet required after that. One computer at a time — move it yourself from your account whenever you need to.
After purchase you receive an email with a link to set a password. From there, sign in inside Distking, on macOS or on Windows. The licence is stored on that machine and survives reinstalls and OS updates.

Introductory price. VAT is added at checkout where it applies.
After purchase you receive an email with a link to choose a password. Open Distking in your DAW or as a standalone, sign in with your email and password, and the plug-in stores a signed licence locally. No internet required after that. You can move the licence to another machine from your account at prime-entity.nl/account.
When all stages run as one oversampled path, each stage processes the output of everything before it. An EQ between two distortions shapes the harmonic content that the second distortion will work with — not a clean bypass signal. You get interactions that are impossible to replicate with separate plug-ins in a chain.
Each Character preset — Raw, Rawstyle, Euphoric, Uptempo and Zaag — sets the whole chain to a tuned starting point: specific drive amounts, EQ curves, shaper shape and reverb settings that work together for that sound. Pick the closest one and adjust from there, or build from Init if you prefer a blank state.
Yes, for macOS or Windows — it's the full plug-in. Without a licence it mutes briefly every twenty seconds. Every stage and every parameter is available to try. Purchase unlocks it permanently.
Yes. Windows 10 or later, 64-bit, as a VST3 plug-in and a standalone app, with an installer that puts both in place. It is built from the same code and carries the same version number as the macOS release, so a licence covers either one. AU is a macOS format, so there is no AU on Windows.
No. Distking is a separate product with its own licence. Your existing purchases stay exactly as they are.
ReFOLVK, FOLVKano and FOLVKlip are available now. Same activation model, same offline licence, same family.
We make plugins because we love music. The emotion, the energy, and the endless process of shaping an idea into something that truly feels alive. As producers ourselves, we know that the best tools don’t interrupt creativity. They support it.
That’s why every FØLVK plugin is built with passion, care and real craftsmanship. We focus on what truly matters: great sound, an inspiring workflow and controls that simply make sense. No unnecessary complexity. No endless menus. Just powerful, reliable tools designed to make the lives of fellow producers easier and more effective.
Simple by nature. Serious in sound. Made for music.
