Introducing the Overstayer Modular Channel Stereo 8755DS: A Versatile Stereo Line and Instrument Channel Strip for Tracking and Mixing
Experience unparalleled flexibility with the Overstayer Modular Channel Stereo 8755DS, a dynamic stereo line and instrument channel strip meticulously designed to elevate your tracking and mixing sessions. From subtle layered enhancements to complete sonic destruction, this versatile channel strip offers a wide range of creative possibilities.
The 8755DS features a comprehensive set of controls, including high-pass and low-pass filters, a two-band equalizer, VCA compression, harmonics, and a sophisticated mixer matrix for advanced series and parallel mixing techniques. Whether you're shaping the frequency response or exploring harmonics and distortion, this channel strip delivers exceptional sonic control.
Tailored for your needs, the preamp section offers flexible input options, including balanced line, microphone, and high-impedance inputs. With discrete circuitry and independent left and right controls, the preamp provides over 40dB of gain, ensuring pristine audio capture.
Additionally, the balanced line signal can be routed through the preamp, driving the front end with ease. The preamp stage also offers direct outputs that can be used independently when the line input is selected.
Delve into the filter section, inspired by synthesizers' filters, and discover resonant high-pass and low-pass filters that allow precise control over the frequency response and resonance. Complementing this is a two-band EQ with low and high shelves, offering three frequency points per band for efficient sound shaping. The EQ can be applied to the main signal, the compression side-chain, and the Dry/EQ Feed, providing ultimate flexibility.
The VCA compressor boasts Peak and RMS modes, with three positions for attack and release controls. A side-chain high-pass filter is included for additional control. To further enhance your compression options, the Behavior knob allows you to transform the compression curve, ranging from smooth leveling to explosive dynamics, thanks to its innovative use of inverted ratios.
Experience the power of the Harmonics section, consisting of three stages that can be engaged individually or in combination. From the subtle low-order harmonics of MAS to the more pronounced saturation of SAT, and the higher harmonics and layered distortion of Hex, this section adds depth and character to your audio.
To facilitate advanced mixing techniques, the channel strip offers a robust Mixer Matrix. Send independent stereo feeds before the filter or after the EQ for precise control. The Comp Feed enables sending the signal out pre-harmonics, while the Sat Feed provides the full flavor of the entire signal path, ensuring a seamless mixing experience.
Unlock the true potential of your recordings with the Overstayer Modular Channel Stereo 8755DS, a powerful tool for achieving professional-grade sound.
