JHS Colour Box v2 Lovely Saturation [FX w/ Synthesizers #19] Demo


Today I am exploring various synth and percussion elements through the JHS Colour Box v2 for that lovely vintage console saturation. A/B comparison effect on/bypass except the last section, got lost in the moment on that one. Tried my best to mind the levels, but now and then the volume is a bit inconsistent. Some normalization applied to remedy some of that, you understand. The EQ applied some nice touches, really helps pick out some sweet spots here and there. Recorded direct on iPhone via EPM6 mixer via Go:Mixer:Pro-X.

GSE 4023-VCF Filter Demo #3 Saturated Drums


In a previous video I showed how the 4023-VCF has some lovely saturation with synthesizer sounds.
Today I will be running some percussion though the filter. In most cases, when the input slider is above 60% the filter input will start to become overdriven. Resulting in a warm and fuzzy distortion.
I'll be using control voltages to use the saturated filter as a gate,which can change-up the grooves.

Audio recorded direct to Tascam DR-05.
No additional effects other than what you see.

GSE 4023-VCF Demo #2 Lovely Saturation


Darkwave, deep house, tribal and Carpenter-esque sounds ahead.
Of the filters I'm offering, 4023-VCF has the most lovely saturation to me.
In most cases, when the input slider is above 60% the filter input will start to become overdriven.
Resulting in a warm and fuzzy distortion.
Audio recorded direct to Tascam DR-05.
Some use of the Timefactor Delay and Big Sky Reverb.
