A mastering-style EQ, sandwiched inside six stages of delicate Saturation, feeding a dead-simple 'finishing compressor'. It's an EQ with a vibe, the likes of which could only come from Kush.
Blyss Mastering Channel is a 3-stage processor designed specifically to make busses - both mix and instrument - sound "prettier”. It also happens to sound incredible on individual tracks too. While it has multiple cascading Saturations, a 6-band EQ and a mastering grade Compressor, all sections have been greatly simplified to reflect Kush’s old-school approach to processing: less is more, choices are limited but comprehensive, and all sections are designed to work together, making it nearly impossible to produce a bad sound.
Blyss’ Saturation is far and away Kush’s most lush color circuit to date, leaning towards "delicate” with a sensitivity and voicing that stays mellow and rich even when driven to extremes.
When first launching Blyss, it’s tempting to grab the big EQ knobs and go to town, but be aware: the heart of this machine is really the unassuming Saturation section, which integrates painstakingly modeled Input, Interstage, and Output transformers plus 3 discrete op-amp stages into one knob with one meter. You can do a lot for your sounds with the Saturation alone!

DSP compressor with groundbreaking attack & release qualities, separate i/o Saturation, and two optional tone circuits.
Novatron is an analog-modeled compressor that borrows so many sonic properties from so many different classing hardware units that, ironically, it could only exist in the world of DSP.
With separate in/out Transformer Saturation, two optional Tone Circuits, and a monstrous compressor with groundbreaking attack and release characteristics, the Novatron produces the same three-dimensional 'solidity' and tone typically reserved for expensive hardware.

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.
