## What is Hyper Boost?

Simple, but deadly. Hyper Boost combines a two-band tone control with a hard-hitting soft clipper. Use it early in the chain as a bold saturation effect or throw it on late for subtle, precision mix adjustments. A power-up for your sound.

Tone Control
- Retro-inspired treble and bass tilt filters. Gentle, not surgical
- Adjustable center frequency
- Three configurations: Pre (EQ before clipper), Post (EQ after clipper), Emphasis (saturate a frequency band while keeping flat response overall)
- Output trim

Clipper
- Drive input up to +36 dB
- Adjustable ceiling and edge for precise control over the clipping curve
- Three clipping algorithms:
  - Juicy: reproduces an infamous stock clipper
  - Tight: adapted from a classic soft-knee limiter
  - Hardest: loud and brash hardware-style clipping
- Real-time curve visualizer with max peak metering

Core Features
- Morph Settings for smooth transitions between two complete configurations
- Auto Bypass saves CPU when input is silent
- AB settings comparison
- HQ mode with 4x oversampling and ADAA
- One-click loudness matching
- All parameters automatable with precise playback
- Light and dark interface modes
- Internal undo/redo
- Auto gain
- Use your AUv3 plug-in in a compatible host app or DAW
- Standalone app includes support, manual links and in-app purchase options for license purchase

Two-week trial included, one-time purchase for full unlock. Unlock your plug-in via in-app purchase from the standalone app or activate in the plug-in using an existing desktop license. Your in-app purchase activates the plug-in on all of your iOS devices. Owners can claim a crossgrade code in the standalone app to receive a discount on a desktop license.
