Rona Audio RA-13 – Vintage Phase is a modulation pedal in the Vintage Effects collection from Rona Audio: a plug-in recreation of a classic RA-13 vintage phase, with the pedal itself as the interface. Every knob, switch and footswitch you see works; the circuit behind them is modelled stage by stage so the controls interact the way the hardware’s do.
- SPEED — Triangle LFO speed, ~0.1 Hz to ~8 Hz
- RESO — Resonance: regeneration from the fourth all-pass stage back to the input (0 to ~0.75), sharpening the notches into vocal peaks
- WIDTH — LFO amplitude: sweep width of the four all-pass stages
- Footswitch — Switches the effect on and off (the LED lights while on).
13 factory presets in 5 categories. Formats: VST3 and AAX (Windows 10/11 64-bit); VST3, AU and AAX (macOS). Mono circuit; in a stereo track both channels are processed identically. Installed, activated and updated with RONA License Manager.
