Modeled after the original BAE unit, the 1023 offers an organic analog sound and expansive control over the mid and high range.

VEQ-55A (3-Band EQ / HPF / LPF)

Cure your sound of its imperfections and add definition with the analog-modeled VEQ-55A effect. It is based on a legendary console from the 1960s that is well known for its unique coloration when applied on any acoustic instrument.

Space Flanger

Space Flanger (Flanger)

The Space Flanger is capable of producing phases, sweeps, and swooshes that sound other worldly.
