{"product_id":"phils-cascade","title":"Phil's Cascade","description":"\u003ch2\u003eRemarkable analog saturation and color\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phil's Cascade plugin recreates a one-of-a-kind hardware unit made from highly esoteric vintage components, combined into some truly unique circuitry. It is anything but your typical audio processor. Think of Phil’s Cascade as a toolbox that will open a whole world of interesting sonic flavors to you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eModeled after a unique hardware unit that would be impossible to mass-produce\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike all of elysia’a plugins, Phil‘s Cascade was modeled on a piece of real analog hardware. But this particular one-off hardware unit was exclusively designed and built to become a plugin! This approach removed all practical limits to designing an ideal analog device for saturation. Bespoke NOS (New Old Stock) components which are anything but standard in audio applications were arranged to make a novel circuit that is a creative celebration of what’s possible in the analog domain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA wide array of analog colors in a single box\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow you can spice up virtual and natural instruments with ease, transforming standard sounds with all kinds of gritty, organic and aged flavors. There are no right or wrong settings: Saturation, harmonics, distortion, colouration, filtering, interaction—anything goes. This is a plugin designed to encourage experimentation and make it truly rewarding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIncredibly difficult to make, incredibly easy to use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe central element is located in the middle: the Gain! The left side of the plugin is where all the magic happens, allowing you to shape your sound with the Boost, Bias, Grid, Resonance and Peak controls. The right side controls and tames things if necessary, using knobs for Filtering, Level and parallel Mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eNothing like it before or since\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRest assured that the original hardware that this plugin is based on will never go into production. Most of the parts are so rare that they would last for just a handful of units, with environmental restrictions forbidding most of them to be used in new products, and the price point it would have to sell for being prohibitive to say the least. Thankfully, the painstaking analysis and modeling of the circuit and its components’ behaviors gives you the perfect basis for creating truly wonderful, new and unheard sounds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elysia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50484397211866,"sku":"ggd1790022502625","price":92.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0824\/2954\/2618\/files\/phils-cascade_1.png?v=1790022507","url":"https:\/\/hikesteadyfit.shop\/products\/phils-cascade","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
