SOS
The SOS (Same Old SSSSS) module is a finely tuned de-esser.
The module name is also a nod to SOS Magazine reviewer
Sam Inglis’ request for a de-esser. I guess SOS could also
stand for “De-SSS for Sam?
The SOS module also offers a Low Cut mode to reduce
plosives and other low-end noise common in vocal and
dialog tracks. The SOS HF+ mode puts more de-essing
sensitivity into frequencies approximately 1 octave above the
selected de-essing frequency.
BOB
The Bass Optimized Bias module is designed for making low
rumble really rumble. Over 24 dB of low end boost is available
at the selected frequency. Signal levels below the selected
frequency are actually reduced, so that the boosted low end is
better focused. A Squash control can provide some frequency
selective compression near the boosted low end frequency, at a
selectable recovery rate. Two bias modes offer additional tone
flexibility.
TAPE
The TAPE module builds on the famous (or infamous?) McDSP
Analog Channel AC202 module, but with a new design for
emulating tape compression and playback response. Tape
head bump and roll off are user selectable, as is the repro-head
type (Modern or Vintage). Tape formulations are based on the
Quantegy GP9 and Ampex 456. Tape compression is largely
controlled by signal level going into the TAPE module input,
however there is also user selectable tape compression via the
‘Comp’ control. Overall tape compression amount is displayed
in dB.
