Amethyst 4 reproduces the sonic behavior of all the components of a channel strip as found in one of the most revered British consoles of all time. It includes a channel strip, an equalizer, a dynamic processor, and a new preamp section.
Amethyst 4 is
a high-performance channel strip giving you the warm sound of some
celebrated British consoles from the late 70s and early 80s.
Amethyst channel strip includes three sections: a preamp, an equalizer
plus filters, and a dynamic processor. Each of these sections is also
available as a single plug-in for extended versatility. The filter
section integrates 2 filter sets (A-B mode). In addition to equalizer A,
the EQ section includes a new emulation (B). The new EQ's circuitry is
based on a famous British design that will give you that
unmistakably “expensive” sound. Besides
offering a brand new set of equalization curves, EQ
B features 2 controls: GLOWY for the LF section and SHINY for the HF
section. These controls allow you to change the low and high-shelf
cells' slope, thus altering the overall tonal balance of the sound
without changing its character. Amethyst is based on a mixing desk that was critically acclaimed as one of the greatest-sounding consoles of all time.
Amethyst 4 includes the following modules:
- AMETHYST4 CHANNEL STRIP
- AMETHYST4 EQ
- AMETHYST4 COMP
- AMETHYST4 PRE (NEW!)*
