Vintage Mullard NastyStortion Glass Diode Distortion 3 x stereo Rack Unit Distortion Saturator Mixing Mastering Music Audio

Analog Mixing Power 3 x Analog Diode Distortion Rack! 3 stereo sets of carefully chosen diodes to enhance, excite and beautify your music and audio. You can hear it on TheYouTube - search for: Vintage 3 x Stereo Diode Distortion Saturator Rack for Mixing Exciting and Mastering Music Audio I’ve been mixing professionally for years and have never been satisfied with saturation plugins - they just don’t quite hit it for me - a bit smeary and weak. Taking the time to run your instruments / vocals and buses through analog gear will yield much more satisfactory results … more 3d - real world dynamics, and you can eq into them to get sonic perfection - or indeed slam into them for severe obliteration that doesn’t collapse like plugins do. Set 1 are vintage glass diodes which are the lightest of the 3 - they enhance the stereo field and gently clip transients at low settings (I use Logic’s i/o utility to do this - most daw’s have one) - you can hear the stereo field stabilising in the nicest way as we push into them. Great on drum / guitar / synth bus or vocals and natch full mixes. Set 2 are vintage mullard OAZ diodes. Beautiful soft clipping (why we pair them with some transformers) that lifts audio with a bit of enhancement and forwardness. Listen to what they do to the music in the video - the settling of the mix and the perceived loudness. Freakin Gorgeous! Set 3 …. NastyStortion! If you’ve ever used an 1176 compressor just as a saturator (no compression) - these guys give a similar darkness. They’re quite odd, wonderful and explosive at higher settings - but at lower settings they’re amazing for holding audio in place wthout any compression smearing - drums / bass / synths and vocals all gain some magic and energy from the clipping. Lovely things. You can also explode your audio with these things if you fancy a bit of creative distortion - or indeed if you want you movie audio to be louder than anyone elses! Hand made, point to point wired. I have about 3 carrier bags full of diodes that when tested sounded like crap and didn’t make it…. These guys did. Inputs at the bottom - outputs at the top. Balanced jacks in and out. Put some real world analog in your productions!
