• natural sounding de-esser. With two knobs
• you’re afforded complete control of not only vocals
• but shrill electric guitars
• or overly bright overheads. You can also turn off the de-esser frequency control and use this section as an aggressive and colorful limiter. Not Just for Vocals For years
