Upgrade Your SoundWhether you re recording drums or simply need more channels, ASP800 is the perfect tool for expanding your existing interface via ADAT. Its flexible and intuitive feature set will transform your current setup into the complete recording rig, perfectly at home recording both acoustic and electronic instruments. Take Control of Your AudioWhether you need to add growl to a bass guitar or make those vocals sparkle, ASP800 s revolutionary harmonic generation circuitry has got you covered. Retro Channels 1 2 feature two unique variable harmonic COLOUR controls per channel - HMX IRON. Designed to emulate tones often associated with 1960 s tube designs and the coveted transformer zing of British audio in the 1970 s, HMX Iron will add new dimension to your audio by providing warm, sparkly tones. Better still, you can combine them to get anywhere in between! MOSFET DriveWe know that plenty of engineers love the sound of tubes/valves and if you re one of them, then you re going to love HMX. Travel back in time with ASP800 s very own custom harmonic distortion control. Similar to vintage valve preamplifier designs of the 1960s, HMX provides a sweet, thick tone that will sound incredible on anything from drums to electric guitars. (TIP! Try it on bass synth, or 808 too!) By using discrete MOSFET technology, HMX produces asymmetrical harmonic distortion giving you the option to add richness and body to the pristine tone of the Audient mic preamp, D.I or line
