Product information

It Barks & Bites!

Much like man’s best friend, this little pup will be warm and loving to its owner and can be aggressive to strangers. You train it how you want.

Trust your ears and this pup will be loyal to your sound always. Don’t be afraid to feed it with your own presets, or use the factory library to get started.

With a plethora of Analog & Digital processors in their arsenal at Beatskillz, they are always looking for that “perfect” combination of gear that can sound great without much tweaking.

This time BeatSkillz emulated a “thrusty” compression from BeatSkillz' favourite American Compressor, and a ”gritty” Multistage Tube Drive from one of BeatSkillz' favourite British Saturators. The result is a 2 knob beast, that can get you sounding “phat” in seconds. No guesswork or crazy science needed. Just tweak away and find your own “sweet spot”.

Controls

  • Bark: Multistage tube drive - subtle to gritty.
  • Bite: Threshold for compressor - "thrusty" compressor.
  • Input: Input gain - ranges from -INF to +4dB
  • Output: Output gain - ranges from -INF to +4dB
  • Dry/Wet: Balance between processed & dry signal - 24dB/octave low cut filter

Key Features

  • Warm multistage tube drive with a filling and fattening sound.
  • Thrusting punchy single knob intuitive compression that never sounds bad. Modelled on a famous American unit.
  • Great on drums, synths, bass and busses.
  • Dial in as much bark and bite needed with the signal blend (dry/wet) control.
