Positioning
Not another vintage fantasy.
1994 Channel Drive focuses on the other console sound: practical 90s workhorse channel tone. Clean when you need it. Dense when pushed. Fast when the mix needs decisions.
Three moves
Three ways to shape the channel.
Emphasis EQ
Shape what hits the circuit.
Emphasis EQ is a pre-drive tone curve that changes how the saturation reacts.
Console EQ
Finish with fast EQ.
Musical shelves and semi-parametric mids for quick console-style tone shaping.
