KABIN

Universal Guitar Cabinet Modeler

KABIN is a universal guitar cabinet modeler. You can create different speaker/cabinet models
with SIZE and CHARACTER options and shape tone with microphone placement.

Controls :

 SIZE : You can set spiker and cabinet size and response with SIZE knob.
Spiker/Cabinet size can be changed battery-powered guitar amp cab to 1x12. While
your spiker size goes to smaller, cabinet size will go smaller, too.
 CHARACTER : Will set character of spiker and cabinet. Soft to Punch. Soft will give
smoother mid response (mostly low mid) and Punch will give fuller mid response. Not
only frequency changes. Also, dynamic response.
 MICROPHONE : There is a mic (Modeled Tube Mic) in front of cabinet. You can move
it left to right. In default, it's placed center. You can move mic to right to get off-axis
placement.
 OUTPUT : Will set main output. Inf to +12dB.
 KABIN : It's also bypass button. Red is active, white is bypassed.

BUSTERse

Classic console compressor (SSL) with extra Filter and Transient sidechain options to
dominate whole signal!

FEATURES
 STEREO COMPRESSOR : Compressor Section
 FLT : Filter Section
 TR : Transient Section
 CONTROL : Control section
 Compressor Section
 THRESHOLD (dB) : +15 to -15
 ATTACK (ms) : 0.1, 0.3, 1, 3, 10, 30
 RELEASE (sec) : 0.1, 0.3, 0.6, 1.2, Auto
 RATIO : 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10
 MAKE UP (dB) : 0 to 15
 MIX (%) : DRY to WET
 Filter Section (Sidechain)
 HPF (Hz) : 20 to 500
 MID (~1500Hz) : -6dB to +6dB
 HF (~10kHz) : 0dB to -10dB *Will work like famous optical-tube compressor and help
you to control high frequencies, better.
 Transient Section (Sidechain)
 BOOST (dB) : 0 to 10 *While boosting attack, it will reduce decay/release of signal to
make compressor more sensitive with only attacks/peaks.
 TILT (~1kHz Center) : -6dB to 6 dB *It's placed before BOOST to send only
dedicated range to BOOST. So, BOOST will affect only given frequency range and will
boost only this range's transients. If TILT is default, BOOST will affect overall
transients.
 MIX (%) : DRY to WET *Will blend DRY and WET signal. After boosting transients, you
can blend with DRY signal to keep reduced release of signal. When MIX in default
position, TR is off. So, you can turn MIX knob to all the way up to engage TR section.

*EXT (External Sidechain) : When you engage EXT, sidechain circuit will listen incoming signal and you
can still use Filter and Transient sections on incoming signal.

 Control Section
 MAIN : General Bypass
 TURBO : Turbo Mod *Turbo mod will help to compressor to affect whole signal
range. Otherwise, compressor will focus on mid frequencies. This mod added to keep
original sign of hardware.
 XFORMER : In/Out Transformers *If you engage XFORMER, in/out ICs will be
replaced with transformer to balance it. This will affect to impedance, character,
overall sound.
 ANALOG OBSESSION LOGO: Oversampling. It will turn to red when oversampling is
engaged. Also, show you a notification.

FetDrive

Saturator version of FetSnap.

FetSnap is the modified version of famous FET Compressor to enhance transients.

I modified the circuit, again. And made it as original unit's "COMPRESSOR OFF" version. With
original unit, you can close sidechain and use it as line amp/driver.

Now, we can use FetDrive as a saturator with extra tone and blend features.
Features :

 Drive : It will rise your input level (with gain compensation) and will saturate your
signal. Input range is really extended to get more drive!
 Tone : Tone will shape your source before drive section. So, it's Pre-Tone Control. This
will let you decide which frequency range will be saturated.
 Mix : Will blend dry and wet signal.
 Output : Final output stage after MIX knob.
 Fet Symbol : It's regular bypass.

UPDATE Version 1.1


Output knob implemented to only drive section to match processed signal with dry signal
and blend them.

FetSnap

FetSnap is the most interesting transient enhancer and is based on the famous FET
compressor!

In digital world, we can fully modify any circuit according to our requirements. So, just played
with FET compressor's circuit and made it transient enhancer.

Think like reverse-compressor or expander but fixed attack/release and tons of


harmonics!

FetSnap will enhance attack of your source and make it jump!

It's really colorful and snappy enhancer for your drums and any percussive instruments.

It's also very useful for your any other tracks. Need punchy bass guitar? Or "in your face"
slaps? Need aggressive vocals with enhanced transient? Need funky and twangy guitars?
Enhance your pick sound with FetSnap!

Features :

Two main controls for your transients. TONE and SNAP.

Snap is the most important control of this plugin. Simply, you can dial it up and enhance
your attack. That simple!

Tone control will shape your transient's tone. It's kind of tilt equalizer.

Mix will blend your shaped transients with original source.

FET symbol is simple bypass button.


Usage :

 But before starting, decide your goal! You need low end attack or high end?
 If you want to enhance your low end, simply set your Tone control to Dark side. Need
high end transient? Set your Tone control to Bright side.
 When you decide your tone of transients, now, time to dial up your Snap control. Set
your Snap control according to your taste and rise up source's attack!
 If you happy with result, now, time to blend your enhanced attack with original
source.
 Leave Tone knob at flat and add just a little bit Snap to your source and done!
 Or just use Tone control and leave transient. And you have tilt EQ!

LALA

Classic LA2A Compressor/Limiter.

Features :

 PEAK REDUCTION : Simply, it's threshold setting. Will set you compression level.
 GAIN : Make up gain
 LIMIT : When you engage, it will work as limiter. Otherwise, it will react as
compressor.
 EXT : External side chain option. You will still be to use sidechain filter with external
sidechain.
 HPF : Will cut low end.
 MF / MG : Will set sensitivity of compressor for mid frequencies.
 HF : Will set sensitivity of compressor for high frequencies (Enhanced version of
original unit's R37 setting)

DYNASAUR

Multiband Compressor with RMS & PEAK mode

“DYNASAUR” is the best helper to tame your annoying frequencies. Dynamically ride your EQ
or shape your sound with pure static EQ. Use it as de-esser, multi-band compressor or peak
rider!

Unique Feature
Don’t miss unique feature! All bands have RMS or PEAK mode to get best result. For
example, low-end has more energy and less peaks/dynamics but high-end or mids have less
energy and more peaks/dynamics. While taming your lows, use RMS mode for better control.
And you can use PEAK mode with mids or highs to catch peaks! It’s totally up to your
material.

FEATURES :

 5 band dynamic equalizer with 2 shelves and 3 peaks


 Adjustable Attack (1ms to 50ms) & Release times (30ms to 3sec)
 Adjustable Ratio (1:2 to 1:20)
 60 dB Threshold range

 High Shelf : 8kHz to 20kHz
 Bandwidth (Mids) : 5 Oct to 0.4 Oct
 Bandwidth (Low & High) : 5 Oct to 0.4 Oct (Instead regular bandwidth control, it will
set energy for low-end and high end.)
 Gain : +/- 24dB (As static eq or gain recover)
 Mode : RMS & PEAK (RMS will detect your frequencies’ RMS level and set your gain
reduction according to RMS. PEAK detects peak levels to set your gain reduction.)
 Readout for better parameter tracking.

Rare

There are tons of Pultec EQP-1A, all are different but same process at the end. We thought
that our version must be different.

Pultec is passive eq with gain stage at the end. Simple but awesome design.

I changed this design and added switchable gain stage. Pre and Post gain stage!

Pultec has its own gain stage at the end and when we boost low or high too much, gain
stage will react according to eq moves. That's the special design of Pultec.

But if we place gain stage before eq section, we can saturate signal at the unity gain without
changing character by eq section and use eq without side effects of output gain stage.

Pultec has SRPP design and really colorful. So, it will saturate and compress especially low
frequencies. But when we switch Pre Gain Stage, our low boost will give same harmonic
character as flat. Also, we can keep highs from gain stage and this will make highs cleaner!
With this feature, we can use Pultec without any harmonic changes while we use eq section.

Features :

 GAIN : Will set gain stage pre or post eq


 CPS Low Frequency : Low frequency switch
 CPS Low Boost : Low frequency boost
 CPS Low Atten : Low frequency atten
 KCS High Frequency : High frequency switch
 KCS High Boost : High frequency boost
 ATTEN SEL High Atten : High atten frequency switch
 ATTEN : High frequency atten
 POWER : Bypass
 OUTPUT : Output control
 ANALOG OBSESSION : This label is clickable. It will turn to red and engage

FETISH

Classic FET Compressor/Limiter (1176) with extra features!

Features :

 INPUT : Extended 0 to 60dB input gain. Internally compensated input knob to drive
circuit and get compression. With original gear, input will boost signal without
compensation. With FETISH, you don’t have to reduce volume while you boost input.
 OUTPUT : -30 to +30dB Make-Up Gain to compensate compressed signal
 ATACK : 20 to 800 microseconds with reversed knob to adjust without confusion.
 RELEASE : 50ms to 1.1sec with reversed knob to adjust without confusion.
 RATIO : Selectable 4:1, 8:1, 12:1 and 20:1. Each has it’s own curve and range to start
compress. While you use lowest ratio, you should get compression quickly when you
boost input. With higher ratios, compression will start at higher input gains.
 HPF : 20 to 500Hz HPF to keep low frequencies from sidechain circuit. So,
compressor won’t touch to low-end.
 MID F. (Frequency 500Hz to 10kHz) / MID G. (Gain -6dB to +6dB) : With these
two knobs, you can set mid frequency and set it to compress more or less. If you
boost mid gain (broad band), you will get more compression on selected frequency.
If you reduce mid gain, mids will be less compressed.
 HF : HF knob will help you to compress high more. While FLAT position keeps highs
natural, HF position will compress highs more.
 MIX : Will let you blend compressed and dry signal.
 SLAM : With this function, you will get ultra-fast and aggressive limiting option. You
can use this function for every ratio.
 EXT-SC : This will let you use external signal to compressed input signal.
 POWER : Plugin Bypass
