The sound
More than just a pretty face.
We meticulously modeled a classic analog outboard signal path - a snappy FET compressor, warm British equalizer and lush German plate reverb. The entire output chain is flush with analog vibes.
(Yes, great effort went into modeling things like field-effect transistor distortion, odd and even harmonic coloration, transformer saturation and the non-linearities that generally add personality to a song and glue together a mix. You’ll hear it, we promise!)
