Smack!s control ranges are practical and sweep a wide range of tonal compression color, resulting in true warmth and distinction. Along with delivering phenomenal sound, the compressor was designed to operate effectively and efficiently at any setting. In addition to offering a variety of unique compression curves that range from subtle compression to hard limiting, Smack! includes three compressor modes that add warmth, reduce waveform distortion, andor emulate electro optical VCA limiters. And each of Smack!s compression ratios has its own personality and release shape. So, from gentle curves with almost transparent compression to brick wall limiting, Smack! delivers the extremes and everything in between. To replicate the characteristic sound of analog tape saturation and vintage tube devices, Smack!s distortion section lets you add subtle harmonic distortion. Instantly add second order andor third order harmonic distortion with the flick of a switch. Additionally, Smack! includes external or internal side chain processing and a built in side chain EQ for additional filtering. With Smack!, its almost impossible to get a bad compression sound. If you're not sure which settings to use, pick a ratio somewhere in the middle of the range, set all the controls mid way, then adjust the input gain control until you have sufficient gain reduction displayed on the VU
