What Twangström does
A tasty drive and tone stage heats up the signal and adds colouring before the reverb, and a multi-mode filter offers a variable type blend. The envelope stage has four flavours and can pick up the signal from either input or from an external sidechain.
Input feedback routing offers all possible stereo and mono combinations, and 76 factory presets are included.
Key features
- Drive and tone stage. A drive section heats up the signal and colours the sound before it reaches the reverb tanks.
- Multi-mode filter. The filter provides multiple modes with a variable type blend between them.
- Envelope stage. Four envelope flavours can take the signal from either input or from an external sidechain input.
- LFO and modulation matrix. The LFO offers 8 types and waveforms with a variable, syncable time base, and the matrix routes modulation to all parameters in realtime.
- Remote control and resizing. Parameters can be controlled by MIDI CC with an optional 14-bit resolution, and the interface resizes from 70% to 200%.
