Plugin demo

The S-Quick Includes a polarity flip button, two circuits of saturation, a highpass filter, a two band EQ with shelf and bell options, one knob compressor with auto makeup gain, a transient designer, saturation wet and dry mix, and a compressor sidechain.

Input

The preamp section gives you a polarity flip button, a Gain knob to dial in the amount of saturation, a saturation button to switch between two circuits of saturation (off, the saturation will be subtle. on, the saturation will be dense and heavy with a slightly brighter tone) This section also includes a highpass filter button which when on engadges a filter at 75Hz.

EQ

The EQ section contains two knobs and two buttons. The buttons switch between a bell curve and a shelf. For the high frequency section the bell is at 2kHz and the shelf is at 8kHz.

For the low frequency section the bell is at 200Hz and the shelf is at 120Hz.

Compressor

The compressor section contains just one knob (threshold) . Use this knob to dial in compression from the fixed settings. You can also engage auto makeup to compensate for the drop in signal when using extreme settings. The fixed compressor settings are: attack - 5ms release - 300ms, ratio - 4:1.

Transient Designer

The transient designer section is another one knob module. Turning the knob clockwise will enhance the transients leading to a punchier sound. Turning the knob counter clockwise will remove some of the attack and punch of the transients and soften the sound.

Extra Controls

The extra controls section includes a saturation mix knob to mix between the wet and dry signal. A compressor sidechain to allow low end to pass through the compressor and input and output gain knobs.
