Rich vintage preamps, pristine studio EQs, perfect sound every time.

Modulation & Filters

Sculpt, transform, and animate any sound with a selection of enhanced synth-inspired filters, cult classic guitar pedals, and ultra-rare studio gear.

Compressors

Smoothen the dynamic ups and downs of your mix, introduce unique tonal characteristics, and bring that cohesive mix punchiness for a finished product with sonic impact.
