Sonic Bliss For Any Source And GenreWhat is one of the biggest problems for recording, mixing, and mastering engineers today? Figuring out a way to bring life and impact to music that sounds stunning and yet does not consume immense amounts of time and is easy to recall. Enter the Hendyamps Collins - Problem solved!The Collins is intended to be the definitive solution to all sonic needs by giving the user the ability to enhance individual tracks, buses, or full mixes with any combination of transformers, mosfets, pentode tubes, and triode tubes.HIGH VOLTAGE MOSFETSThe Mosfet stage, running close to 400v, provides a truly unique and incredibly rich tonal response. Based on the Warhol preamp, this stage is able to provide a punchy and full sonic imprint, fulfilling the need for quick transient response as well as a density increase that can take an audio track from boring and lifeless to immense quite easily.PENTODE TUBESThe Pentod stage runs EF806 (EF86) tubes which are known for their articulation and aggressive behavior. On a track or mix this stage is often pure magic as it tends to add a little brightness and raw energy throughout the sonic spectrum, something that is almost always a welcome addition.TRIODE TUBESThe Triode stage is all about rich, creamy harmonics, adding a gloss over everything it touches. Often this stage will add a smoothness throughout the sonic spectrum, hiding issues in a track or mix, and especially bringing a warmth to the low mids. Usually when an engineer is looking for something to add a final polish to a mix, this is the perfect solution.TRANSFORMER 1The first transformer is actually an odd choice for a "line level" piece of gear, but the intention was to both squeeze as much tone out of a transformer as well as allow the Mosfet, Pentode, and Triode stages to open up a bit more at the same time. This transformer is a 1:4 step up, but wired backwards, meaning when engaged, the volume will drop and one or more of the gain stages will need to be used to bring the volume back up. This transformer should provide a compression to the signal as well as a perceived tightening of the low end and provides some outstanding results. TRANSFORMER 2 The second transformer is actually a power supply choke (think more inductor) but with a bypass capacitor applied in order to allow the low pass created by the transformer to return to "full band". The result is that there is a light dip in the low mids which is wonderful for removing the "mud" from a track, along with adding some rich texture to the highs especially. AIR and CRUNCH The Collins includes an Air switch in order to give a subtle boost in the highs when desired. As well, there is a Crunch switch that allows you to engage a diode based hard limiting circuit that offers anywhere from light clipping to heavy distortion as desired, interacting with the Trim control. TRIM AND FULL OPERATIONThe Collins is a truly unique design and provides an infinite number of options and possible combinations, but is still quite easy to use. In order to accomplish this, the two Transformers were placed in series and the gain stages were placed afterward, and yet the gain stages were designed to be in parallel with each other. Each stage and transformer can be completely removed from the circuit with the flip of a switch, and as such, everything becomes interactive. As well, combining multiple gain stages naturally produces a wide variety of volume levels and thus, a Master Trim control was included in order to set a final output level. MICHAEL ROQUE COLLINSHendyamps has a habit of choosing names for its studio gear based on various artists that best encapsulate the sonic images it paints (at least in the mind of Chris!) and for this piece of gear Chris chose the painter Michael Roque Collins because Collins' complete body of work has demonstrated a complete mastery of nearly every style and genre. His own style is both beautiful and haunting, but his ability to walk into any artistic world is both legendary and inspiring, and as such, Chris believed it best described the Collins' ability to bring sonic beauty to any musical genre and do so in a fresh and beautiful way (it probably helps that Chris studied painting under Collins for several years!).Included FeaturesFull Stereo DesignTrue Bypass SwitchesControls for Mosfet, Pentode, Triode, and TransformersStereo Trim KnobLeft and Right Calibration KnobsStepped control option availableTransformer balanced inputAll hand-wired constructionAll hand wired constructionDesigned and built in the USA
Versatile, Massive Tone, ArticulateThe Hendyamps LDC Mic is truly a one of a kind piece that instantly improves the quality of all audio recordings. Be ready to hear your source material in a level of immersion and three dimensionality that you simply have not experienced before! CapsuleThe capsule chosen for this mic was a C12 style, primarily for its full sonic spectrum and detail articulation. This choice was made in order to give the internal circuit a full bandwidth to then amplify and shape in any way desired.CircuitFrom this capsule, the general Warhol preamp circuitry was chosen as the base for the microphone because the high voltage mosfet topology paired so well with the capsule and was able to truly capture source material in a way that simply sounded like it was finished. The purpose of this mic was not to conform the source material to itself, but to instead conform to the source material and enhance it in every way possible.Tone KnobOne of the most popular additions to this mic is the Tone knob for it allows the engineer to alter the entire tonal response of the mic as it rolls off the highs and high mids as the knob is turned down (in the noon position is "default"). Pad SwitchThe Pad switch allows for sources with higher SPL's to be used with this mic. As well, it changes the overall tonal balance in the mic lightly making for a useful option when tracking.
Between the Tone control, the Pad switch, and the overall sound of this mic, it has become the perfect choice for nearly every source - Vocals, piano, acoustic guitar, strings, horns, bass, electric guitar, drum overheads and room mics, etc. Included Features48v Phantom Powered MicXLR InputC12 style capsuleTone knobPad switchHigh voltage mosfet circuitTransformer balanced outputUnique chassis look
Pure Tube BeautyThe most common statement from mixing and mastering engineers who use the Michelangelo?
“I literally feel like I’m cheating when I use this thing,
because it should not be this easy to get my mixes sounding good!”Housed in a 2U rack unit, the Michelangelo is an all tube, stereo EQ that is completely focused on sonic beauty! This EQ is certainly not aimed at precisely targeting certain frequencies, for it is intended to be a broad strokes EQ that also acts as a harmonics generator. This one of a kind EQ is at home during any phase of the music production process (tracking, mixing, or mastering), for the overall sonic signature it leaves, coupled with its complete ease of use, is rivaled by none!The Michelangelo is a discrete, Class A, all tube, full stereo unit, with tone for days!The BYPASS switches allow the user to completely disengage the Michelangelo at any time in order to properly A/B a mix (true bypass).The TRIM control allows the user to match the volume coming from the Michelangelo to any desired level.Left and Right CALIBRATION is used to gain match the Left and Right signals, accounting for any volume discrepancies encountered. Interestingly enough, these calibration controls can also be used to alter the tonal response of the Michelangelo if so desired. For example, it is possible to bring the Calibration volumes up and the Trim down, resulting in the Michelangelo driving the signal harder than normal, increasing harmonic content.The AGGRESSION control alters the drive in the circuit, allowing you to push the tubes for extra saturation.The LOW, MID, and HIGH controls manipulate the three EQ bands, but in a way that adds more dynamic, harmonic content the higher the EQ is set. Take note that the Mid control covers a massive amount of territory while the Low and High controls are narrower by comparison.The AIR control boosts the ultra high frequencies and is typically a favorite control in this unit.LOW SHIFT changes the Low control in order to target all frequencies below 150hz or 80hz.MID SHIFT alters the response of the Low and Mid controls, essentially assigning the low mids to either control.HIGH SHIFT changes the High control in order to target the frequencies above 1khz or 2khz.The VINTAGE switch toggles between a “modern” mode (think more hifi), and a “vintage” mode (darker, older sounding).LoZ/HiZ alters the output impedance of the Michelangelo in order to dial in either a more colored tone (HiZ) which ill interact with gear following it in your chain, or a more clean tone (LoZ) which is largely unaffected by gear following it in your chain.1/3 GAIN RANGE The Standard Michelangelo can also be ordered with the ranges of the EQ controls (Low, Mid, High, and Air) limited to approximately 1/3 of the normal gain range. This modification can often be more useful in a mastering context whereas the full range is often better in a tracking or mixing context.STEPPED VERSION
The Michelangelo can also be ordered in a stepped version if desired, when precise recall is necessary. Each control is built using high quality Elma switches, and the controls are altered in the following ways:Aggression actually remains unchanged, other than becoming stepped.Low, Mid, High controls have been altered to offer +/- 6bd range (12db swing), with roughly .5db steps.Air offers a 6db boost with roughly .5db steps.Trim remains unchanged (from zero to max volume) in 2db steps. Max Trim = UnityTOPOLOGYThe TOPOLOGY option allows for the choice between tubes and high voltage mosfets. Tubes (12ax7) will provide a more lush and harmonically complex sound and the mosfets will provide a more precise and punchy response.

Modern Punchy ToneSo how is the tube Michelangelo different from the solid state version? Whereas the tube version is lush, harmonically complex and thick sounding, the solid state version is all about punch and articulation. Designed around high voltage Mosfets (350+ volts!), this version of the Michelangelo is aggressive, versatile, and is the ultimate mixing tool for any source. CALIBRATIONThis version of the Michelangelo combines the Calibration and Aggression controls into a single knob in order to maximize versatility and ease.EQThe Michelangelo keeps the basic layout of EQ controls from the tube version including: Low, Low Shift, Mid, Mid Shift, High, High Shift, Air, and Air Shift. Each band is designed to maximize its usefulness in a tracking and mixing context whereas the tube version is maximized for a stereo bus/master bus application.VINTAGE/MODERNVintage mode is retained in this version as well which is intended to alter the overall sound and feel of the High and Air controls.TrimThe Trim control now works in conjunction with the Calibration control for an easy way to drive the input and output as desired. For a typical starting point, the solid state Michelangelo is at its most neutral/clean setting when all knobs are at 50% (including Calibration and Trim) and all switches are down (note that this is not true for the stereo tube version where Aggression should be at 0% and Trim at 100%).

Complete and Utter DestructionSo what is the only piece of gear that is more insane and outrageous than the Nuclear Unicorn?
THE MEGA NUCLEAR UNICORN!Mic PreampTo start out, it is helpful to know that the entire bottom row of this unit is a fully functioning Nuclear Unicorn, with all the same controls and names. The only small exception is that the Gamma Burst circuit has a different transformer/capacitor arrangement. It is similar to the original Nuclear Unicorn but has been altered in order to optimize options and tonal responses in conjunction with the Low, Mid, and High additions.Multiband of DoomSo you have wrapped your head around the Nuclear Unicorn and all of its options and abilities - Good! Now imagine three more full Unicorns all running in parallel with the first one, but each of these parallel Unicorns are programmed to only control a certain frequency range (Low, Mid or High) and imagine all of the insanely cool options you now have to shape tone, distortion and outright mayhem! This unit is truly a multiband preamp that takes the Unicorn and makes it into an absolute monster that has endless possibilities!Cut the Ultra HighsThere is an additional two switches and one knob that allows you to cut out the ultra highs when the distortion becomes a bit too much. Different combinations of these switches and knob settings gives an impressive amount of control in dialing in your exact high cut, allowing for this unit to shine on nearly any source!The Control NamesPAD - This switch enables the user to lower the volume of the source feeding the NUMegaton Increase - This switch is a type of top boost in that it gives a large boost to the highs and high mids when needed. This especially helpful for dark mics and instrumentsShock Wave - With this much gain you always need a low cut control. This knob gives the ability to drop the low end from the beginning of the circuit in order to retain clarity, especially when driven into heavy distortion
- Rainbow Crush - Ever wanted to use a diode based distortion but only on the highs and high mids? This switch is for you! Crunch with punchy bass!Mass Destruction - This is the first gain stage control and will drive the rest of the entire circuit. You technically have 110db of gain available with about 70db of that gain clean when you want to use this unit as a beautiful sounding mic preamp.Tactical Mode and Enhanced Tactical Mode - These switches are there to cut the highs (think close to Air Band) and are primarily useful when using a lot of distortion. They can help keep the signal from breaking down into oscillation when needed or desired.More Mass Destruction - This controls the second gain stageSum of All Fears - This knob controls the third gain stageFallout - Finally you have the control for the final gain stage that also acts as the Trim controlGamma Burst - This switch engages a unique mid cut circuit driven by a transformer and variable capacitor bypass. When you think of this switch imagine taking a source like a bass guitar and making it sound really, really mean.Unicorn Sparkle - This is the knob that allows you to raise or lower the highs in the mid cut circuit. It can make the signal really dark or quite bright when desired but is only available when Gamma Burst is engaged48v - Phantom powerThe sheer power and versatility of this unit is unmatched by anything on the market today and will bring even the most boring of sources to life with minimal effort. From keyboards to bass guitars, to drums, to vocals, the Mega Nuclear Unicorn is an absolute tonal standout!Included FeaturesComplete Nuclear UnicornThree additional Nuclear Unicorns (Low, Mid, High)Multiband gain and distortionGlobal High Cut switches and knob controlTransformers in and out

Absolute DestructionWhat is this thing and what happened to all the artists?
Well, Chris decided that he needed a mic preamp and DI that could go from pristine clarity all the way to absolute raging distortion in a single unit that screams outrageous. As it turns out, this goal has been accomplished and demanded a name and faceplate as outrageous as the actual circuit design!Mic PreampBased on the Warhol topology, but with double the gain stages, the Nuclear Unicorn has the ability to be used as a rich and responsive preamp on any source, with any mic. Interestingly enough, as a result of the user having control over the gain on all four stages, the tonal response of the mic or DI source can be changed a good deal based upon how each gain level is set. As well, all coloring options on the NU are available at all times, further making for an amazing array of options.But What Do The Names Mean?

Picasso is an altogether different kind of channel strip. This all tube, single channel design actually takes the Monet preamp seen in the Hendyamps Mosaic, and redesigns the preamp in such a way that an original EQ and optical compressor becomes part of the preamp itself. This new design philosophy produces an EQ and compressor that not only shapes the tone and dynamics of the preamp, but also shapes the entire feel and response in a way that is simply not possible in conventional designs.How do you describe Picasso's sound? Glassy sonic beauty!The EQ can best be described as broad and harmonically rich, and there is enough gain in this preamp to add a significant amount of drive when desired!The GAIN knob sets the overall drive for the rest of the circuit, taking the Picasso from clean to crunchy at will. The TRIM knob sets the output level of the Picasso, allowing the user to drive the unit hard without clipping any hardware following the Picasso.The LOW (LOW SHIFT), MID (MID SHIFT), HIGH (HIGH SHIFT), and AIR controls allow the user to manipulate the basic EQ controls. This EQ has been specifically designed to be very easy to use and covers a significant amount of territory during tracking or mixing. Note that you have the same EQ section as the Hendyamps Michelangelo stereo EQ!The HiZ/LoZ switch is also from the Michelangelo, allowing for the manipulation of the output impedance of the Picasso. LoZ is the smoothest and cleanest setting while HiZ forces the Picasso to be driven harder, producing a more colored tone.The COMPRESSOR is an optical circuit that is taken from the Hendyamps Pollock compressor (the “Smooth” setting). When engaged, the compressor can be set to taste with a STYLE switch allowing you to shape the overall compression characteristics from smooth to aggressive. Note that in aggressive mode, the compressor will also exhibit a natural de-essing function that is incredibly effective and musical. This compressor can be absolutely transparent, or extremely colored depending on how it is employed. There really isn’t another one like it!There is an LED to indicate the amount of compression and another one to indicate output volume on the front of Picasso. Note that when in aggressive compression mode, the LED will not be as bright as in smooth mode as a result of the inherent characteristics of the circuit. The indicator LED is more for compression reference and your ears should be your guide for sonic results.Included FeaturesPhase Reverse48v Phantom PowerTwo 12ax7 tubesXLR In and OutMic In and Line OutFull Michelangelo EQPollock compressor in Smooth modeTrim ControlTransformer in and outAll Hand-Wired constructionRugged, etched metal faceplate
One Of A Kind Tone MonsterPollock is an stereo optical compressor that might be better described as 18 compressors in one. It’s signal chain is all tube (12ax7’s), has transformers in and out, has stereo controls, a large VU meter, and is unlike any optical compressor you have ever used!Pollock has the ability to operate in a number of different modes, with compression, side chain, and box tone all able to be manipulated. Pollock also has true bypass switches (no buffered bypass or any relays or transformers to color the bypassed signal), Left and Right Calibration controls, and makeup gain.
The AGGRESSION switch will change Pollock’s compression characteristics from quick and bold to subtle and incredibly smooth. Aggressive mode is best thought of as a more traditional opto sound, though a bit quicker in response than typical, and Smooth mode is really nothing like normal opto compressors. In Smooth mode Pollock can be downright invisible with the time constants difficult to discern as it seemingly self regulates according to the source material.The STYLE control is a three position switch that alters Pollock’s box tone. The combinations, along with the interactivity from the other controls, allow for everything from a neutral box tone, to a light boost in the highs, to even a light boost in the highs and lows. Because of this control, the Pollock doubles as a line enhancement box, greatly useful even when its compression may not be needed on a particular source. But there is actually another function in this control as well - It changes the side chain as well! In positions one and two, the side chain is full range, however in position three, the side chain cuts out the lows, allowing the compression to trigger from the mids and highs predominantly (gentle high pass slope).The COLOR control is also a three position switch that determines how the compression is applied to the signal. In position one, the compression is applied full range. In position two, the compression only affects the upper mids and highs, and in position three the compression is limited to only the highs, allowing for some helpful de-essing applications within a mixing/mastering context.The SMOOTH/AGGRESSIVE gives the option to choose from two very different compression approaches. The smooth mode focuses on an invisible style of compression that has the ability to level out a mix with minimal effort. Aggressive focuses on a much more abrupt and drastic style of compression that will react strongly to dynamic sources.The WET/DRY knob allows the user to dial in the precise amount of compression to be applied to the signal, but in an unusual way. Instead of being a traditional "wet/dry" mix, this control allows the compressor to work as normal, but limits the amount of compression that is applied past a certain threshold. As this compression dips below the set threshold, the level of compression applied to the signal will hold at that point and only release when the compression level again rises above the chosen threshold, thus changing the release speed constantly in conjunction with the signal itself. This may sound confusing, but it allows the user to dial in compression in a way that is unique and downright inspiring! (Please see the demo video for a more thorough explanation and example)OUTPUT is the all tube gain makeup stage, and COMPRESSION is a simple single control that adds compression as the knob is turned up.The VU Meter provides a general reference for the total compression being experienced in the circuit, but the application of this compression to the signal is dependent upon the settings used for the Color, Style, and Aggression controls. Thus, the VU meter is very helpful, but intended to be used more as a general guide than an absolute reference.**NOTE**
There are three options available for each Pollock build - Stepped, Output and Topology.The STEPPED version of the Pollock includes 24 step rotary switches for COMPRESSION, WET/DRY, and OUTPUT. As well, standard configuration for the stepped output control puts unity at zero on the output dial instead of at 50% like on the normal controls.The OUTPUT option allows for the choice between two transformer and transformerless output. The transformer based outputs offer a little more color to the signal path with a light bump in the lows (option 1) or a flatter response that is driven a little harder (option 2), whereas the transformerless output provides a cleaner output with a little more precise response. Both output options sound amazing and are extremely useful in a variety of situations. The TOPOLOGY option allows for the choice between tubes and high voltage mosfets. Tubes (12ax7) will provide a more lush and harmonically complex sound and the mosfets will provide a more precise and punchy response. Both options sound stunning...it just depends on what type of stunning you want!

Unique, Versatile, and PunchySo how is the tube Pollock different from the solid state version? Whereas the tube version is lush, harmonically complex and thick sounding, the solid state version is all about punch and articulation. Designed around high voltage Mosfets (350+ volts!), this version of the Pollock is aggressive, versatile, and is the ultimate mixing tool for any source. CALIBRATION/OUTPUTThis version of the Pollock retains the same basic functionality of the Calibration control but makes it easier to drive the Pollock to taste in conjunction with the Output control (output volume).COLOR
The Pollock has the unique ability to apply compression to the full sonic range of a track, or only apply it to the higher frequencies (your choice between 3k and up or 10k and up) in a way that acts as a smooth de-esser for troublesome sources.STYLE
Pollock is also able too offer a sidechain at around 500hz, allowing you to remove unwanted lows from the triggering circuit. This can result in a very smooth compression application when desired.
As well, Pollock offers an Air boost in order to provide a little extra boost to make up for moderate to heavy compression.COMPRESSION, DRY/WET, AGGRESSIVE/SMOOTH
As you increase the Compression knob level you will also increase the compression amount. However, the amount of this compression that is applied is dependent on the Dry/Wet knob, but in an odd way. Instead of blending the wet and dry signals, this control allows the compression to react normally but sets the max amount of compression that is applied. As well, there is an option to engage Aggressive mode which acts as a super punchy and bold compressor, colored and massive sounding. As a contrast to Aggressive mode, Smooth mode is characterized by incredible transparency and signal enhancement, even under heavy compression.
The result is a compressor that can adapt to any source and produce outstanding results.OUTPUT
The Output control now works in conjunction with the Calibration control for an easy way to drive the input and output as desired. For a typical starting point, the solid state Pollock is at its most neutral/clean setting when Calibration and Output are at 50%.Included FeaturesMono Solid State DesignHigh Voltage Mosfet GainControls for Calibration, Output Level, Compression, Style, and ColorCalibration (Gain) ControlSidechain Switch (500hz)Air Boost SwitchDe-Ess Options (Color Switches)Dry/Wet ControlCompression VU MeterTransformer balanced in and outAll hand-wired constructionRugged, etched metal faceplateDesigned and built in the USA
One Of A Kind Tone MonsterPollock is an stereo optical compressor that might be better described as 18 compressors in one. It’s signal chain is all tube (12ax7’s), has transformers in and out, has stereo controls, a large VU meter, and is unlike any optical compressor you have ever used!Pollock has the ability to operate in a number of different modes, with compression, side chain, and box tone all able to be manipulated. Pollock also has true bypass switches (no buffered bypass or any relays or transformers to color the bypassed signal), Left and Right Calibration controls, and makeup gain.
The AGGRESSION switch will change Pollock’s compression characteristics from quick and bold to subtle and incredibly smooth. Aggressive mode is best thought of as a more traditional opto sound, though a bit quicker in response than typical, and Smooth mode is really nothing like normal opto compressors. In Smooth mode Pollock can be downright invisible with the time constants difficult to discern as it seemingly self regulates according to the source material.The STYLE control is a three position switch that alters Pollock’s box tone. The combinations, along with the interactivity from the other controls, allow for everything from a neutral box tone, to a light boost in the highs, to even a light boost in the highs and lows. Because of this control, the Pollock doubles as a line enhancement box, greatly useful even when its compression may not be needed on a particular source. But there is actually another function in this control as well - It changes the side chain as well! In positions one and two, the side chain is full range, however in position three, the side chain cuts out the lows, allowing the compression to trigger from the mids and highs predominantly (gentle high pass slope).The COLOR control is also a three position switch that determines how the compression is applied to the signal. In position one, the compression is applied full range. In position two, the compression only affects the upper mids and highs, and in position three the compression is limited to only the highs, allowing for some helpful de-essing applications within a mixing/mastering context.The SMOOTH/AGGRESSIVE gives the option to choose from two very different compression approaches. The smooth mode focuses on an invisible style of compression that has the ability to level out a mix with minimal effort. Aggressive focuses on a much more abrupt and drastic style of compression that will react strongly to dynamic sources.The WET/DRY knob allows the user to dial in the precise amount of compression to be applied to the signal, but in an unusual way. Instead of being a traditional "wet/dry" mix, this control allows the compressor to work as normal, but limits the amount of compression that is applied past a certain threshold. As this compression dips below the set threshold, the level of compression applied to the signal will hold at that point and only release when the compression level again rises above the chosen threshold, thus changing the release speed constantly in conjunction with the signal itself. This may sound confusing, but it allows the user to dial in compression in a way that is unique and downright inspiring! (Please see the demo video for a more thorough explanation and example)OUTPUT is the all tube gain makeup stage, and COMPRESSION is a simple single control that adds compression as the knob is turned up.The VU Meter provides a general reference for the total compression being experienced in the circuit, but the application of this compression to the signal is dependent upon the settings used for the Color, Style, and Aggression controls.

When looking for a preamp that will make any source simply sound fuller, richer, and better in every way, Rembrandt is where you should start. Embracing both even and odd order harmonics in a design that is all original and uncompromising, Rembrandt has become the standard for what tubes can do!PreampThe Rembrandt is centered around the EF806 (EF86) and 12au7 tubes, combining pentode and triode sounds for the most lush, harmonically rich and massive sound possible. Intended as a desert island preamp with immense detail and a larger than life sound, Rembrandt is like nothing you have ever heard. Expect amazing results on literally any source!DIEach of the two channels on the Rembrandt has a mic input on the back as well as a DI instrument input on the front, with the DI input bypassing the XLR input when plugged in. The XLR input will pass through the input transformer whereas the DI will enter the circuit after the input transformer, giving you the option to explore the sonics of pre and post input transformer responses.ControlsEach channel on the Rembrandt allows the user to manipulate a wide range of parameters:GAIN and TRIM are straightforward and present the ability to keep the preamp as clean as possible or drive the preamp into overdrive while retaining the ability to bring the output volume level down to the desired level. Total gain on tap is 60db or 70db depending on if boost is engaged. PAD will attenuate the input signal significantly in order to accommodate louder sources when needed, and BOOST presents a significant gain boost in the first gain stage (EF806). This boost will also lightly alter the tone of the preamp and can be used for more than a simple gain boost when desired.LOW CUT is a variable control that allows the user to dial in the precise low cut curve needed, with a range that is massive and guaranteed to cover any range desired.IMPEDANCE is also a wide range variable control but it targets the input impedance of the mic preamp, making this incredibly helpful in pairing with a variety of mics of nearly impedance requirements.Included Features48v Phantom Power SwitchXLR In and Out1/4” DI Input available (unbalanced)Low Cut ControlGain and Trim ControlsInput Impedance ControlBoost Switch (increases max gain from 60db to 70db)Two EF806's and two 12au7's

The Do Everything BoxHave you ever wanted a Michelangelo and a Pollock to be in one box?
If so, then Rothko is the perfect solution for you!
Housed in a 1U rack unit and powered by exotic high voltage Mosfets (XL version also has a tube output), the Rothko is not just a Michelangelo and Pollock existing in one box, but a fresh new take on two classics!FEATURESLeft and Right controls are now combined to be CALIBRATION and AGGRESSION in one, allowing for the easy manipulation of input levels and tone. You have the ability to drive the circuit hard, lightly, or anywhere in between as you see fit and the response of the Rothko will shift accordingly. This speeds up workflow and maximizes versatility for busy engineers!The LOW, MID, and HIGH controls manipulate the three EQ bands, but in a way that adds more dynamic, harmonic content the higher the EQ is set. Take note that the Mid control covers a massive amount of territory while the Low and High controls are narrower by comparison.The AIR control boosts the ultra high frequencies and is typically a favorite control in this unit.LOW SHIFT changes the Low control in order to target all frequencies below 150hz or 80hz.MID SHIFT alters the response of the Low and Mid controls, essentially assigning the low mids to either control.HIGH SHIFT changes the High control in order to target the frequencies above 1khz or 2khz.1/3 GAIN RANGE (XL Version Only)
The Rothko can also be ordered with the ranges of the EQ controls (Low, Mid, High, and Air) limited to approximately 1/3 of the normal gain range. This modification can often be more useful in a mastering context whereas the full range is often better in a tracking or mixing context.The COMP control will increase the total amount of Compression as the knob is increased. The compression style is optical (same circuit as in the Pollock) but not in the traditionally understood optical response. Think much faster and tuned for a more invisible style compressing experience, though able to be quite colored and "grabby" when desired.The WET control allows for the same functionality seen in the Pollock in which a single control gives the user the ability to apply as much or as little compression as desired. However, this is not to be envisioned as a traditional Wet/Dry mix, but instead, setting a "hard deck", or wall that does not allow any more compression to pass. So if the compressor is trying to lower a signal by 10db but the WET control is set to only allow 5db of compression, then only 5db will be allowed to apply at any point and the compressor will hold that 5db compression until the compressor drops below 5db. This has the added effect of constantly changing the release timing as it naturally follows the music. There is simply not another compressor that is as musical and sounds like this one!COMP STYLE changes the operation of the compressor from "Smooth" mode to "Aggressive" mode as seen in the Pollock. The XL Version adds a Sidechain switch that removes the low end from the compressor triggering portion of the circuit.The XL Version retains Pollock's ability to only compress the 10Khz+ range when desired.The XL Version adds a switch to boost the input of the circuit in order to both drive the Rothko's front end harder as well as boost the compressor's trigger.The XL version adds a switch to boost the output stage (12ax7 tube) when desired.Included FeaturesFull Stereo DesignControls for Low, Mid, High, and AirLeft/Right Calibration/Aggression ControlsLow ShiftMid Shift SwitchHigh Shift SwitchOptical Style CompressionWet/Dry ControlCompressor Style SwitchMosfet and Tube Hybrid (XL Version)Sidechain Switch (XL Version)Stereo Trim KnobTransformer balanced inTransformerless outAll hand-wired constructionRugged metal faceplateAll hand wired constructionDesigned and built in the USA

Versatile, Massive Tone, ArticulateThe Hendyamps SDC mic was intended to be a specialty mic, designed with high SPL sources in mind, and as such, it has become the standard bearer in this category. For drum close mics to electric guitar amps, this mic revolutionize how high SPL sources are captured and are the only mics we use here at the Hendyamps Studios for those applications.
CircuitFrom this capsule, the general Warhol preamp circuitry was chosen as the base for the microphone because the high voltage mosfet topology paired so well with the capsule and was able to truly capture source material in a way that simply sounded like it was finished. The purpose of this mic was not to conform the source material to itself, but to instead conform to the source material and enhance it in every way possible.PadThe SDC had a Pad permanently built into it in order to allow it to be used for high SPL sources. As a result, using this mic on low SPL sources is not advised, though still certainly possible to still achieve good results.Included Features48v Phantom Powered MicXLR InputPermanent Pad for high SPL sourcesHigh voltage mosfet circuitTransformer balanced outputUnique chassis look
More Vibes & Mojo in a BoxTHE COOKER is a High Voltage Tone Conditioner
This analog processor is truly ONE OF A KIND! It combines the tonal impact and energy of high voltage solid state circuits with the vibrant and thick sounds of custom transformers, providing the user with stunning sonic enhancement...nothing less!The range of control on this box is extended and very versatile, going from super subtle to aggressively pushed. Energizing the tracks, buses, mixes and masters, it can actually be the "Life Of the Party"In addition to the TEMP function knob that is known from THE OVEN legacy which gives more energy and impact, there are two intensity settings WARM and HOT that control how much saturation can be applied to the TEMP knob.We also added more functions, such as FRY and SEAR, which are Tonal Conditioners that affect the sound in a very unique way. This tonal conditioning is not the "standard" kind of conditioning, but more of the "strange and weird" type so you can dial in something unpredictable but unbelievably special.The CRISPER function gives you the WARM AIR sound that is associated with THE OVEN Legacy, and this is a magic knob for sure. It opens up the sound in a pleasing way that lets it stick out just enough to be noticed.The STEAM control will get you the gain push needed to enter the unit like an input drive and the PRESSURE will allow you to adjust the output level and saturated harmonics.Last but not least, the PRE-HEAT switch..... turn it on for that "EXTRA EXTRA ..... READ ALL ABOUT IT" Energy push like as if you had consumed two bottles of 5 hour energy shots.... It engages an extra stage and pushes an additional custom transformer to the circuit.A Masterclass In ToneAnother unique feature of The Cooker is that when you purchase one, you are not simply getting an incredible piece of gear. You are also getting a one-on-one masterclass with Maor Appelbaum where he is able to personally walk you through his Cooker workflow and methodology, as well as help you fully integrate your new Cooker into your setup.

More Vibes & Mojo in a BoxTHE GRILL - The Solid State sibling to The Oven and The Stove!
This unit brings another dimension to the OVEN family - It's Tight, It's Punchy but also warm and round and has special extra features that include more saturation options and overdrive.
This extra tonal injection can get more drive to the tracks and make them jump out but stay thick and full.THE GRILL is also recommended for live show mixing as it is fully Solid State so it's less sensitive to road life than Tube units are and there is simply no better way to bring a venue to it's maximum sonic potential!The Third Sibling Brings Attitude!The BLAZE Control Knob alters the drive circuit, allowing you to push both the multiband and broadband sections for extra juice. This knob is the "Governor" and the key to making the big changes. A "Little " can be just "Enough" to make it work for you.
This is a very powerful unit and with power comes responsibility.
It can stay punchy and tight even in some very aggressive settings and will give an authority to the sound while increasing perceived level while sounding deep and rich.The BLAZE "RANGE" switch allows you to choose between driving it "SHORT" or "LONG" thus increasing the intensity of the BLAZE function knob range if needed Two modes: One light on the saturation (SHORT) and the second (LONG) is driven harder giving it a saturated tone. A little can go far on this LONG setting. It can make VST Synths and drum machines come alive!!!The ROAST control is the Wildcard here!!!!! It allows the user to introduce the additional Solid state stage into the circuit for a tight and clean saturation that will enrich anything that plays through it. It can sound thicker and "charged" while staying in the same sonic territory but more penetrating & apparent with enhanced and rich harmonics that embrace the sound and create a sense of fullness and depth easilyThe FRIZZLE controls the Sizzle - The name is the game and this one only goes up - It's a boost knob only and you have two modes for it: High .... and even higher (it's like the warm air sound you get in The Oven)The LOW BURN, MID BURN, TOP BURN controls (as we call them: THE BURNERS), give the user the ability to drive certain bands for more saturation when desired. Each band operates in a way that engages the entire circuit as a whole processor in order to give an incredible diversity of options and tone enhancing saturation. This maximizes the versatility of the unit in a way that is quite rare. You can boost and cut the saturation and tonal shaping in creative ways like using big brush strokes in a painting.Each BURN TYPE switch will alter the area covered by the BURN and FRIZZLE controls. It's like getting two at the price of one!The BUNSEN switch alters the TOP BURN control so that it provides more range to work with. This gives the user four different tonal options on the TOP BurnerThe area where it is very important to get the right harmonics and tone to make the track get its presence and openness in the mix and masterThe Grill has a hidden feature, and It's called " SMOKER". It changes the GRILL from "The Normal Mode" of the unit to a MOSFET DRIVER / SATURATOR. It works with only two knobs ROAST & FLOW (eliminating all the others) and gives you an easy operation and control of the amount of SolidState drive and the output. The sonic results of this isolated HI-Fi Solid State drive stage are of amazing quality and bring out excitement that sounds expensive.
You can control the Mosfet voicing using the Neutral and Enriched settings toggle switch and change the Intensity with the Elec / Pellet / Gas toggle Switch - from light and subtle to aggressive overdrive and everything in between. This special feature is AMAZING for overall saturation that can be of use on instruments, buses and even on a mix bus or mastering applications. The BLOW TORCH - As the name suggests. It's when all hope is gone and you need to "Burn the place to the ground. "This switch turns on the Overdrive circuit to push things to an edgy saturated state (it's not Armageddon, so the overdrive is actually useful for saturating instruments, busses and parallel buses and you have two options to apply A & B (the center position is the normal unit).A Masterclass In ToneAnother unique feature of The Grill is that when you purchase one, you are not simply getting an incredible piece of gear.

Vibes & Mojo in a BoxWhat happens when Internationally Acclaimed Mastering Engineer Maor Appelbaum teams up with Hendyamps?Something good is "Cooking" for sure!Welcome THE OVEN - A tool that can seriously enhance ANY track you put into it.
As the name states it's the device to "Cook, Bake & Broil" any sound source, stem, group, stereo sub group, stereo mixbuss and mastering chain.
This is not a typical eq, Its a Vibe / Coloration / Mojo box with tonal shaping options
It will add Warmth, Size, Depth, Mojo, Vibe, Color, Saturation and Sizzle to your tracks.Anything from subtle HiFi enhancement that you barely hear (until you bypass and feel something is missing) to saturated and driven aggressive sounds, and everything in between.
Taken from Maor Appelbaum's personal creative mastering concepts and built with HendyAmps' impeccable knowledge of creating some of today's most unique analog processors, we bring you a creative and versatile tool for the current Composer / Producer / Engineer / Mixer and Mastering EngineerSo when they ask What's Cooking??? We can proudly say "THE OVEN"!FEATURESThe BYPASS switches allow the user to completely disengage The Oven at any time in order to properly A/B a mix (true bypass). We mean TRUEThe FLOW control allows the user to match the volume coming from The Oven to any desired level. If you go FULL ON AGRESSIVE you can drop FLOW in order to lower the output so it wont clip the next gear in line or the converters.Left and Right CALIBRATION is used to Gain match the Left and Right signals, accounting for any volume discrepancies encountered. Interestingly enough, these calibration controls can also be used to alter the tonal response of The Oven if so desired. For example, it is possible to bring the Calibration volumes up and the FLOW down, resulting in The Oven driving the signal harder than normal, increasing saturation. If your rig is running very hot you can lower the calibration settings to get more headroom coming in the unit to avoid oversaturation.The TEMP Control Knob alters the drive circuit, allowing you to push the Tube and SolidState sections for extra saturation. This knob is MAGIC and the key to making the changes. Small Moves = Big Changes. It can stay punchy and tight even in some aggressive settings.The TEMP RANGE switch allows you to choose between driving it LOW or HIGH thus increasing the intensity of the TEMP knob range if neededIt's Like having two modes, one light and easy on the saturation and the second hotter and pushed giving it the energized feeling. A little goes a long way on this HIGH setting.The COOK control is GOLDEN ! It allows the user to drive the pentode tube stage for an overall thick saturation that will enhance literally anything that runs through it. It can feel bigger without adding much level, thus staying in the same " Zone" but warmer & rounder with rich harmonics that are easy on the ears and create a sense of fullness with not much effortThe BAKE/BROIL switch allows the user to change the voicing of the tube and how it responds to transients. In BAKE it will operate with full dynamic response whereas in BROIL it will naturally compress the signal and increase the saturation complexity. That's where you can make it HIFI, MOJO-FI, and anything in between to be VIBE-FIThe ELEC/GAS switch allows the user to increase the push of the COOK control. ELEC will be the more subtle and clearer sound and GAS will be presenting a more bold, thicker and harder treatment option, in this case Intensity is not a dirty word.The LOW BURN, MID BURN, TOP BURN controls (as we call them: THE BURNERS), give the user the ability to drive certain bands for more saturation when desired. Each band operates in a way that engages the entire circuit as a whole processor in order to give an incredible diversity of options and tone enhancing saturation. This maximizes the versatility of the unit in a way that is quite rare. You can boost and cut the saturation and tonal shaping in creative ways like using big brush strokes in a painting. The SIZZLE control - The name says it all and this one only goes up ( not in flames ) - It's a boost only and you got two modes for it: Higher.... and More Where That Came From!Each BURN TYPE switch will alter the area covered by the BURN and SIZZLE controls. It's like getting two at the price of oneThe BUNSEN switch alters the TOP BURN control so that it provides more range to work with. That gives the user four different tonal options on the TOP BurnerThe area where its very important to get the right harmonics to make the track get its presence in the mix and masterThe BURNED switch changes the Oven into a lofi environment where the signal begins to narrow its bands of operation a bit and also brings a higher level of distortion with it.A Masterclass In ToneAnother unique feature of The Oven is that when you purchase one, you are not simply getting an incredible piece of gear.

One Channel Of Do EverythingTHE ROASTER is a high voltage, discrete, solid state and tube preamp that can take Mic, Line and Instrument level inputs along with a DI on the front panel.THE ROASTER is loaded with an amazing and clean Optical Compressor that can focus on high frequencies (and act like an optical De-esser) or operate normally on the full frequency spectrum and control the overall peaks of the incoming signal. A high voltage Pentode Tube Saturation section offers five voicing selections and a knob that lets you dial in the desired amount of Tube richness and saturation needed to enhance the incoming signal.
The LOW BURN, MID BURN, TOP BURN controls (as we call them: THE BURNERS), give the user the ability to boost or cut certain bands when desired. Each band operates in a way that engages the entire circuit as a whole processor in order to give an incredible diversity of sonic enhancing. This EQ section works like using big and broad brush strokes in a painting and operate in parallel with the Pentode tube stage in a similar way that the Oven does, and this combination is simply stunning!The BUNSEN switch alters the TOP BURN control so that it provides a broader range of operation. This gives the user four different tonal options on the TOP Burner - The area where its very important to get the right EQ to make the vocals or instrument get its presence and attack.The SIZZLE control - That's "The Fairy Dust" control with that nice, warm air that opens up the top upper area and harmonics of the vocals and on instruments. It's a boost only and you have two modes for it: High.... and more of that!You can even use this unit to reprocess sounds coming out of your DAW (from your audio interface) and back, using the Line IN switch and XLR input.The unit has a selectable - 10 db pad and a -20db pad so it can work with a variety of incoming signals.Also there is a three way boost switch with two levels of gain increase, providing a variety of operating levels for THE ROASTER.And the Cherry on the top.... wait for it.....
We have hidden inside this box a 1 Watt (Yes One Watt) TUBE POWER AMP that can drive a speaker cab (8ohm guitar amp speaker cab). So not only will you be able to record any source with THE ROASTER, but you can also use it as a guitar amp, keyboard amp, or general reamp box - WITH an amazing studio grade compressor and EQ!
So many features...... So little time but IT SOUNDS AWESOME!!!!!
( Its especially amazing for vocals, bass, acoustic guitars, electric guitars, mono synths, re-amping and processing.)

You are also getting a one-on-one masterclass with Maor Appelbaum where he is able to personally walk you through his Steamer workflow and methodology, as well as help you fully integrate your new Steamer into your setup. The value of this experience is truly outstanding and will provide you the confidence to get the most out of your purchase for years to come!Included FeaturesSingle Channel DesignGain and Trim ("Flow") ControlsDI InputThree Way Gain SwitchTransformer balanced in and outHigh Voltage Mosfet based amplificationPentode Tube based amplification Three way PAD SwitchLine Level SwitchFull EQ Optical CompressorCompressor selectable for normal or de-ess operation48v Phantom Power1 Watt Guitar AmpAll hand wired constructionDesigned and built in the USA
Two Channels Of Monstrous ToneTHE STEAMER - Some people like to keep it simple and some like it complex, so we figured let's make it complex on the inside but very SIMPLE on the outside.
Its a one space rack loaded with ENERGY!This two channel High Voltage Solid State preamp has the power and depth that can compete with the best ones out there with simple yet useful features that keep the integrity of the sound. We kept the control names "Easy" so you can just focus on capturing the moment.
Minimal Controls But Maximum Tonal BeautyGAIN: Lots of gain here to use, even the mics that need a lot of push will enjoy what this unit can do for them.TRIM: So you can adjust the output level to fit the next hardware in the chain or to avoid clipping your audio interface. As well, pushing Gain while dropping Trim will allow for a significant amount of coloration and overdrive when desired.48Volt Phantom Power to supply the 48Volts DC for those condenser mics and external DI boxes and some other mics that need it to power their power suppliesPAD: A 20db Pad (-20db) so you can lower the input level in case the incoming signal from the mic or the DI is hitting the preamp too loud. This is a quick solution.LOW CUT: This Low Cut switch engages a Hi-Pass Filter that will cut the low frequencies from entering the preamp stage so it will clean up the signal and give you more heardoom and clarity in the vocal or instrument recordings (unless the instruments or vocals needs to have the low end present in the recordings)HIGH CUT: This High Cut switch engages a Low-Pass Filter that will cut the High frequencies so it will clean up the signal from the high end and will provide warmth and give you more concise sound and clarity in the vocal or instrument recordings (unless the instruments or vocals needs to have the high end present in the recordings)
- You can apply Both Low Cut and High Cut switches Together for a mid focused sound.DI INPUT: This input is designed for Instrument Level and is awesome for Bass Guitars, Acoustic Guitars, Electric Guitars, Synths and any other instrument that has an unbalanced audio output.LINE LEVEL Switch: This feature is when you want to reprocess line level audio coming from the audio interface (and the DAW) and give them the warmth and impact from the preamp section. This can also be used to sweeten your instrument busses and groups, mixbuss, and even mastering bus.

It can be on its own or with its "Sibling" The Oven and they compliment each other very well.
I Know What We Need....MORE TONE!The BYPASS switches allow the user to completely disengage The Stove at any time in order to properly A/B a mix (true bypass).The "Flow" control allows the user to set the volume coming out from The Stove. It affects the overall volume and tonal impact of the unit as well, hence, why its called "Flow "How much is flowing from Gain stage one to Gain Stage two of the unit. When set to max (default) you will have the full sound of the unit with all its harmonics, or you can lower the output so it wont clip the gain staging of the unit ( 2nd Gain stage ) and the next gear in line or the converters.Left and Right CALIBRATION is used to Gain match the Left and Right signals, accounting for any volume discrepancies encountered. Interestingly enough, these calibration controls can also be used to alter the tonal response of The Stove if so desired. For example, it is possible to bring the Calibration volumes up and the Flow down (the flow knob used to attenuate the output), resulting in The Stove driving the signal harder than normal, increasing saturation. If your rig is running very hot you can lower the calibration settings to get more headroom coming in the unit to avoid oversaturation.The SIMMER Control Knob alters the drive circuit, allowing you to push both the solid state and tube sections for extra juice. This knob is the "MAGIC" and the key to making the big changes.
Small Moves = Big Changes.
It can stay punchy and tight even in some very aggressive settings and will give an IMPACT to the sound while increasing volume and cohesion in a subtle way while still sounding rich and open.The Simmer "RANGE" switch allows you to choose between driving it "SHORT" or "LONG" thus increasing the intensity of the SIMMER knob range if needed - It's Like having two modes, one light on the saturation (SHORT) and the second (LONG) is pushed and driven giving it a saturized tone.. A little goes a long way on this LONG setting. It can especially make 808s come alive!!!The FLAME control is the Diamond here!!!!!
It allows the user to introduce the Triode Tube stage (12AX7) to the circuit for a tight and clear saturation that will enhance literally anything that runs through it.
It can sound bigger without adding much level, thus staying in the same sonic " Zone" but more upfront & in your face with rich and open harmonics that are smooth but clear on the ears and create a sense of fullness and depth with not much effort.The NEUTRAL / ENRICHED switch allows the user to change the voicing of the tube and how it responds to transients. In NEUTRAL it will operate with full dynamic response whereas in ENRICHED it will get the vibe of a "Hot-Rodded" machine with a saturated wide mid presence that pushes forward.The ELEC/ OIL / GAS switch allows the user to increase the energy of the FLAME control. ELEC will be the more subtle and clearer sound while GAS will be representing a bold, thicker and harder treatment option. Oil is the " In between" sound where it is powerful enough but not too aggressive. Each setting will react differently to the incoming music, so having a switch to toggle between the three options makes it very easy to audition the Flame Knob setting and deciding which one works best for the source material.The LOW BURN, MID BURN, TOP BURN controls (we call them: THE BURNERS), give the user the ability to drive certain bands for more saturation when desired. Each band operates in a way that engages the entire circuit as a whole processor in order to give an incredible diversity of options and tone enhancing saturation. This maximizes the versatility of the unit in a way that is quite rare. You can boost and cut the saturation and apply tonal shaping in creative ways like using big brush strokes in a painting.The SAUTE control - The name says it all and this one only goes up (not in flames!) - It's a boost only and you have two modes for it: Higher.... and More Where That Came From!Each BURN TYPE switch will alter the area covered by the BURNER and SAUTE controls. It's like getting two at the price of one!The BUNSEN switch alters the TOP BURN control so that it provides more range to work with. That gives the user four different tonal options on the TOP BurnerThe area where its very important to get the right harmonics to make the track get its presence in the mix and masterThe ASHES switch changes the Stove into a lofi environment where the signal begins to narrow its bands of operation and becomes charred and crunchy (thats why its ashes - what's left???)The Stove has a hidden feature (well now that you know its not as hidden)
and It's called INDUCTION. It changes the STOVE from "The Normal Mode" of the unit to a TUBE DRIVER / SATURATOR. It works with only two knobs FLAME & FLOW (eliminating all the others) and gives you an easy operation and control of the amount of tube drive and the output. The sonic results of this isolated hifi drive stage are of the highest quality and brings a clarity that sounds expensive and harmonically rich. You can control the Tube voicing using the Neutral and Enriched settings toggle switch and change the Intensity with the Elec/Oil/Gas toggle Switch - from light and subtle to aggressive overdrive and everything in between. This special feature is AMAZING for overall saturation that can be of use on instruments and even on a full mix or master.

Complete and Utter DestructionSo what is the only piece of gear that is more insane and outrageous than the Nuclear Unicorn?
THE MEGA NUCLEAR UNICORN!Mic PreampTo start out, it is helpful to know that the entire bottom row of this unit is a fully functioning Nuclear Unicorn, with all the same controls and names. The only small exception is that the Gamma Burst circuit has a different transformer/capacitor arrangement. It is similar to the original Nuclear Unicorn but has been altered in order to optimize options and tonal responses in conjunction with the Low, Mid, and High additions.Multiband of DoomSo you have wrapped your head around the Nuclear Unicorn and all of its options and abilities - Good! Now imagine three more full Unicorns all running in parallel with the first one, but each of these parallel Unicorns are programmed to only control a certain frequency range (Low, Mid or High) and imagine all of the insanely cool options you now have to shape tone, distortion and outright mayhem! This unit is truly a multiband preamp that takes the Unicorn and makes it into an absolute monster that has endless possibilities!Cut the Ultra HighsThere is an additional two switches and one knob that allows you to cut out the ultra highs when the distortion becomes a bit too much. Different combinations of these switches and knob settings gives an impressive amount of control in dialing in your exact high cut, allowing for this unit to shine on nearly any source!The Control NamesPAD - This switch enables the user to lower the volume of the source feeding the NUMegaton Increase - This switch is a type of top boost in that it gives a large boost to the highs and high mids when needed. This especially helpful for dark mics and instrumentsShock Wave - With this much gain you always need a low cut control. This knob gives the ability to drop the low end from the beginning of the circuit in order to retain clarity, especially when driven into heavy distortion
- Rainbow Crush - Ever wanted to use a diode based distortion but only on the highs and high mids? This switch is for you! Crunch with punchy bass!Mass Destruction - This is the first gain stage control and will drive the rest of the entire circuit. You technically have 110db of gain available with about 70db of that gain clean when you want to use this unit as a beautiful sounding mic preamp.Tactical Mode and Enhanced Tactical Mode - These switches are there to cut the highs (think close to Air Band) and are primarily useful when using a lot of distortion. They can help keep the signal from breaking down into oscillation when needed or desired.More Mass Destruction - This controls the second gain stageSum of All Fears - This knob controls the third gain stageFallout - Finally you have the control for the final gain stage that also acts as the Trim controlGamma Burst - This switch engages a unique mid cut circuit driven by a transformer and variable capacitor bypass. When you think of this switch imagine taking a source like a bass guitar and making it sound really, really mean.Unicorn Sparkle - This is the knob that allows you to raise or lower the highs in the mid cut circuit. It can make the signal really dark or quite bright when desired but is only available when Gamma Burst is engaged48v - Phantom powerThe sheer power and versatility of this unit is unmatched by anything on the market today and will bring even the most boring of sources to life with minimal effort. From keyboards to bass guitars, to drums, to vocals, the Mega Nuclear Unicorn is an absolute tonal standout!Included FeaturesComplete Nuclear UnicornThree additional Nuclear Unicorns (Low, Mid, High)Multiband gain and distortionGlobal High Cut switches and knob controlTransformers in and out
