Royal Blue British Channel Colour

Holographic Transformers

A huge thanks to the team at DIYRE and LTL for making these available, and all the other customers that left helpful enough reviews for anyone to feel enthusiastic in their purchase. Every single way I’ve thought of and tried to use these has paid off in immediate, tangible, audible improvements that are deeply satisfying having spent so long wondering what we all do… is analog really that much better than plugins? A thousand times yes, and DIYRE is giving you the opportunity to discover that at a seriously attainable price point.

Magical

Ran a Fen-tone ribbon mic through this and the presence boost makes it sound like there’s a blanket coming off the mic. Can’t wait to see how it sounds on a bass guitar without the presence boost. I have the Red25 discrete op amp, tm79, and 15IPS Tape also… don’t get me wrong those colours are excellent but the royal blue is officially my favorite.

The “make it sound better” knob

I don’t get it. I rendered every track on a death metal project im mixing through this thing, with tracks I didn’t record, and suddenly this mix went from sounding like a home studio mix to one that sounds professional. My client said “whatever that new gear is that you used, it really polished this mix up.” Yep. Best 150 bucks I’ve spent all year. You can’t buy a plugin for this cheap that will ever come close! I’m telling all my engineer buddies. Now my problem is I need two of these so I can speed up rendering every track next time. My new favorite knob!!
