SMASH
Bring analog life to your tracks
Inspired by the effect of running through analog amplifier circuits, SMASH brings a unique blend of saturation and compression to your sound
Under the hood
SMASH uses a series of compressors and saturators all calibrated to the one main control. The harder you drive the control the more of each stage you will hear.
