Who it’s for

Producers who want the mix to hold together and sound finished, without squeezing the life out of it.

Why it’s different

Two voices, Dense and Punch, and ratios from 1.2 to 8 with the timing the hardware taught us. It adds colour, not distortion.

  • Ratios 1.2, 2.5, 4 and 8
  • Two voices: Dense and Punch
  • Iron in, iron out, class A between
