Vibes like a mic plugged straight into an API console from 1976, with hints of sparkle and sheen to the saturation. Model A vibes like a mic plugged straight into an API console from 1976. Adding a hint of sparkle and sheen, it slowly breaks up into a gritty white cloud of antique saturation. Pairs perfectly with the Omega Mic Pre.
Nails the dark, thick, and rounded sound of the coveted vintage Neve pre it’s modeled after. Model N nails the sound of the coveted vintage Neve pre it’s modeled after. Dark, thick, and round, just a kiss imparts a dusty patina, pushed hard it gets downright fuzzy and soft. Pairs perfectly with the Omega Mic Pre.
A lovely saturation and distortion generator pulled straight from the heart of Kush’s own Tweaker hardware compressor. Model TWK is a vintage distortion pulled straight from the heart of Kush’s own Tweaker hardware compressor. The sound of Omega TWK comes from modeling the way Tweaker overdrives a pair of “supermatched transistors” feeding a long chain of dirty 70’s op-amps, all of which have specs that, by modern standards, would be considered abysmal. The effect of lightly grinding each of Tweakers gentle clipping stages in series is a smooth, thick, and slightly dark saturation. Because of that, Model TWK (like the Tweaker itself) goes from ‘mellow & sweet’ to ‘angry & abrasive’ and all points in between.
Verberate is an algorithmic reverb plug-in that simulates real acoustical surroundings with a new degree of realism. Several conventional building blocks in traditional digital reverb design have been replaced by novel methods that allow Verberate to produce convincing early reflections and the dense reverberation tails that characterize impulse response measurements of real acoustical spaces. The result is a clean, unobtrusive sonic quality and a reverb that blends seamlessly into a mix. This is the reverb for those who like clean and realistic reverbs like convolution reverbs, but are in need of more flexibility and tweaking possibilities without sacrificing realism. An additional bonus is the reduced CPU usage compared to convolution reverbs.

BFD Sphere is a hard rock and metal expansion pack for BFD3, BFD Eco and BFD2. Conceived as Kahney’s ideal drum sound, the pack was recorded with Francesco Cameli (Bullet For My Valentine, Queen, Phil Collins, New Model Army and more) at London’s Sphere Studios before its relocation. The pack includes high-detail 4-tom DW and Vibe kits alongside a Ludwig Black Beauty snare. Drums were tuned to complement the acoustics of Sphere’s live room and were hit by Jamie Postones (Tesseract) and Mike Malyan (Monuments) – highly skilled drummers well respected for bringing a new force to modern drumming. Neve preamps were used throughout for warmth and definition. As well as the natural kits, BFD Sphere comes with additional processed versions designed to be dropped straight into metal and hard rock mixes. All kits feature presets in BFD3, BFD Eco and BFD2 formats with factory cymbals and hihats. Please note that the included snare features Hit and Rimshot articulations only.
