Drive with intent
Push into the colour stage with up to 24 dB of compensated Drive.
Harmonic colour
A little edge.
A lot of character.
Shape harmonic colour, low-end weight and saturation. Compensated Drive, three voiced ranges, HEFT and +DIVIDER let you tune the character to the source.
Three ways to colour
Light, Medium and Heavy ranges offer different harmonic and tonal behaviours.
Hear what changes
Compare levels and use the Delta meter to see how much the processor is changing the signal.
Weight with HEFT
Blend low-bass weight with a gated octave-down return. Higher settings add a deeper foundation; zero preserves the original voicing.
A different drive balance
+DIVIDER changes the frequency balance ahead of saturation, altering which parts of the sound drive its harmonics.
TAKE A LISTEN
Let your ears decide.
