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.
