OTO Machines BOUM Warming Unit

Full Description

Multi application compression unit

You can use the BOUM on everything. And it will sound great. Basses, guitars, synths, drums, even field recordings. Just push the signal through the box and change the parameters to get the desired sound. Or just play around with the dials and buttons to explore and experiment with your signal. Who knows what you might come up with.

This unit is full analog and it shows. The BOUM makes your tracks feel more full and warms them up beautifully. Helping even the most sterile of digital synthesizer sound positively vintage. It follows a unique circuit that runs through multiple stages. Including Input Gain, Compressor, Low cut filter, Distortion generator, hi-cut filter, and the noise gate. These tools help you get the most out of your signals and sounds and introduce new elements to them. The distortion generator is especially useful as it includes four different distortion circuits. Which include - boost, tube, fuzz, and square.
