BR108

BR108 brings the warm, vintage desk console sound to your signal, and works at every step in your chain, whether that's enhancing the DI or bring our the character in a cab sim.

There are 20 voices to choose from and each one was captured, processed and recreated using the same Box Of Rules proprietary algorithm used on other blocks Box Of Bass and Picking Fingers. Every voice is a real fingerprint taken from a real 1980s British 24-channel console one at a time. Pick a voice, dial in how much of its character you want, add the channel's own saturation and colour, then shape it with the three-band console EQ and its filters.

The twenty voices are listed A to Z, with matched pairs sharing a name. Each one shows its measured curve on the screen with a bass player's word for it: ROUGH, RHYTHM, SUB HEAVY, PUNCH, GLUE. COLOUR sets how much of the voice's character you get, from nothing to four times what I measured. DRIVE is the channel saturator, and every voice carries its own measured grit so the rough channels bite sooner. WARMTH folds in the curve of the whole console.

Page two is the three-band console EQ: switched-frequency low and high shelves and a mid bell. Page three is the high and low pass filters at 18 dB per octave. With everything flat the EQ stage steps out of the path entirely.

Kernel changes are designed off the audio thread and crossfaded in, so switching voices mid-song is click free. Mono, one voicing at a time, the way a channel actually works. Put it first in your chain as your channel, or last as signal glue.
