Product Description

•   Loc-Ness V3 is the ultimate box — combining 4 analog-modeled saturation circuits
• parallel compression/limiting
• and surgical pre/post filtering into one devastating processor. Inspired by a legendary vintage broadcast limiter but far more controllable and musical. From subtle harmonic warmth to full-on sonic destruction — on drum rooms
• guitars
• breakbeats
• synths
• and anything you throw at it.   All-In-One Processing Saturation
• compression
• and filtering — everything you need to crush
• and shape any source   Crust & The two main controls that define the Loc-Ness sound. Crust drives the signal through one of four carefully modeled analog saturation circuits
• adding harmonic color from gentle warmth to crunchy overdrive. feeds that saturated signal into a limiter/compressor that sustains and fattens the sound — inspired by the aggressive character of a legendary vintage broadcast limiter
• but more musical
• and far more controllable. Crust (Saturation): Input gain/drive with tonal color shaping (Limiter): Heavy limiting and sustain control Serial Processing: Signal flows from Crust into for stacked tone Autogain: Automatic level compensation as you drive harder From subtle to destruction: Covers the full range of processing intensity   Drive Types & Controls Four distinct analog-modeled saturation circuits give you a palette of tonal colors
• from clean tube warmth to aggressive transistor crunch. Combined with Attack
• Phase
• and Output controls
• you have complete command over every aspect of your processed sound. 4 Drive Types: Each with unique harmonic character and color ATK (Attack): Fast mode instantly; Slow lets transients through first Phase: Retain or invert the wet signal phase for creative blending Mix: Parallel blend dry and wet signals for perfect balance Output: Final output level with +/- 12dB range   Pre & Post Filters Surgical frequency-targeted processing that sets Loc-Ness apart. The Pre Filters let you isolate the exact frequency band you want to saturate and compress — leaving everything else untouched. The Post Filters shape the final output
• especially useful when blending wet and dry signals. Pre HP Filter (20-500 Hz): Remove low-end before saturation to avoid mud Pre LP Filter (3-20 kHz): Tame highs before they get amplified by Crust Post HP Filter (20-800 Hz): Shape the low-end of the processed signal Post LP Filter (1-20 kHz): harsh highs in the final output   Features Autogain: Automatic level compensation keeps your output in check as you push Crust and harder. A/B Compare: Instantly compare two settings with built-in A/B comparison. Never second-guess your sound. Undo / Redo: Full undo and redo history.
