The Transformer is a recording and mixing tool that transform your sound by using several different harmonic stages.
The unit is divided into two sections, a harmonic generating section and a transformer coupled class-A stage with a punchy, vintage tone.
If you’re working mostly in the box this is the perfect tool to add some analog warmth, punch and color to your sound/mix.
The first section contains three different harmonic stages; a transformer saturation stage, a passive saturation/clipping stage and an active germanium circuit.
These three stages does not only generate different kinds of harmonics, they also shape the tone curve in different ways.
With a blend function you can blend in the desired amount of harmonics. You can also choose to process the mid and side channels separately by activating the M/S function.
The second section is a selectable vintage transformer coupled class-A stage.
