Omega 4-Pack Saturation Toolkit
Not the key is that the common sound engineer spends most of his life chasing the proper saturation plug-in. There are such a lot of choices and so they all do such wildly various things. Kush converter plugins are designed to supply a large sonic saturation palette that covers in style analog colours from Neve, API, Altec and Kush.
Concerning the bundle
MODEL 458A :
This sparse tube emulation has a fats tone that decays delightfully, changing into progressively more durable however by no means harsh, turning copper cymbals to gold and gluing the bass right into a molten fiery clot of affection. Pairs completely with the Omega mic preamp.
MODEL N AND MODEL A :
Mannequin N provides the sound the coveted classic Neve pre it’s modeled after. Darkish, thick and spherical, solely the kiss provides a dusty patina, when pressed onerous, it turns into utterly fuzzy and tender. Pairs completely with the Omega mic preamp.
Mannequin A seems like a microphone plugged straight right into a 1976 API console. Including a touch of sparkle and brilliance, it slowly disintegrates right into a grainy white cloud of vintage saturation. Pairs completely with the Omega mic preamp.
MODEL TWK : The
Mannequin TWK is classic distortion taken straight from Kush Tweaker’s personal {hardware} compressor. The Omega TWK’s sound comes from a simulation of the Tweaker driving a pair of “superior transistors” powering a protracted string of soiled ’70s op-amps, all of which have traits that will be thought-about terrible by as we speak’s requirements.
The impact of calmly sprucing every of the Tweaker’s light clipping steps within the collection is a clean, dense and barely darkish saturation. Due to this, the TWK mannequin (just like the Tweaker itself) goes from “tender and candy” to “indignant and harsh” and every part in between.

Capabilities
Easy and Simple :
All 4 plugins share the identical management format. It’s as easy and intuitive because it will get. They’ve one huge knob known as “Depth” proper within the center, two buttons on the edges – one for the -20dB pad and the opposite for switching the part. On the backside there’s an enter and output trimming part and one giant oversampling toggle button. That’s all! There’s nothing extra to see right here.
The one factor that modifications for various fashions is the design of the depth management within the center. This modifications to replicate every of the transformer fashions that the plugin is predicated on. All of them function the signature brown steampunk UI design that Kush has grow to be recognized for, and so they look actually good in your combine window.
Coloration the town crispy !
They’re all related, however do they sound the identical? Properly, they form of do, however they’re additionally actually completely different. Let me clarify – all of them have the signature Kush sound. Anybody who has used a Kush plugin or {hardware} might be acquainted with this sonic signature, particularly within the creamy low-mids and barely crunchy upper-mids. Nevertheless, completely different fashions can be utilized to create amazingly assorted textures in your combine. All of them have completely different flavors they convey, and relying on how onerous you push the “depth” knob, you may get very completely different outcomes.
Only a part
The part change button on them is what Greg talks about intimately. Briefly, reverse the part and see what colour of sound you want and go away it at that. The -20db pad button is nice whenever you need to add an unbelievable quantity of saturation to your sign, not only for loud sources. Certainly, very creative.
Bear in mind how Chad Blake runs every of his audio tracks by way of the Professional Instruments Sans Amp plugin to interrupt the sound into phases? These plugins just do that, a lot simpler and sound unbelievable. Nothing comes as near saturation as Kush does, as their complete firm and ethos is predicated on how analog gear saturates. It additionally begs the query of how good they are often paired with their Omega preamp when the plug-ins themselves are THAT good.
The one draw back to those plug-ins is that the extent jumps as quickly as you activate them, and it’s a must to fiddle with the enter and output knobs to match the sign degree for comparability.
