I agree with you

not sure, analog heat still has the analog saturation routing for it, and boum the great filter and analog compression.....and if you go into a daw anyway, why not master with a plugin chain? i'd say then the use of such a pedal is colouring, and argue that boum and heat are better/warmer at this

Hope you enjoy it!

thanks!!

its also a volume boost. be careful

Glad it was helpful!

Oh! I forgot to add. In every scenario mentioned there is not a word about mid/side. Well, for this I was contemplating buying special blocks. From - paradoxically cheapest options - eurorack, to Wes block, costing big money and definitely not portable in size nor weight. This is where big price advantage from this effect come very handy. I contemplated Heat + FX for that "monofying" of bass block and this does it also, costing less as a package.

agreed, this product fill a big hole!

grazie

Thanks so much for your support!

im sure there are lot of vet alternatives!

I am lusting after an analog heat fx+. hopefully will get one soon and test it!

definitely this is a new kind of product!

it is a good one , you'll see :)

Boum has a pretty grabby & aggressive compressor (as well as nice warming through thermonuclear distortion), so it's a very different box. This pedal looks to be a much gentler box all around.

Good point!

that is a great idea actually, could have been useful

pretty sure it has it studio use!

it is an unusual and welcomed product!

very true, but I use it also as a gain booster. Few of the on off are gain matched tho!

both great, if you don't need distortion I would go with the golden master!

That helps! Thank you a lot :)​@@OoraMusic

In general with any end of chain compressor , raising noise floor is expectable. I use cioks power supplies and I noticed less noise anyway.

It is definitely usable for any end of chain purposes. If you record stereo performances this would be ideal.

thanks for sharing your experience. So far I used the too Boum , mostly for the compression and almost no distortion. The other tool I tied was the Martin stimming one, which was great but definitely tricky to use and really expensive. This one seems a great one , I will use it for the next gigs and report back!

I ve been also considering getting something to give a more 'analog' or 'natural' caracter, if you prefer, to my VSTs and after considering all the options that won't cost a fortune, I kind of concluded that the Deco plugin is the most suitable one (I'd love to get the pedal for physical control but the plugin has a studio version and you can throw it on every track without the need for reamping). Out of curiosity, have you tested any Strymon pedal yourself or you have noticed this ''sheen' on youtube videos? This Golden Master seems to offer a lot for the price and to have a very nice subtle gluing effect but I am wondering if it is worth getting for studio use.. I can see all the benefits for having it on a gig but not sure if it's the right tool for dirtying up our VSTs..

@@happyjessus Hey, I should clarify my 'analog' sound idea. When I refer to 'analog sound' I specifically refer to it with 'clean sounds'. When using a clean sounding pad, drone, felt piano VST, for example, is when I need that sound. I don't release material to the public, so I don't need to re-amp. For the most part, I need a fat analog sound from my VSTs to fit well with my analog gear, and especially for a thicker/analog sound that mixes well with my cello. Currently, my electro-acoustic work sounds bad because there is a lot of that digital sound. My guess is that if you really want convincing analog sounds, the kind of analog sound you get from 100% analog synth circuits, or to make acoustic instrument plugins sound convincing, I don't think you will get that from adding even more digital signals with a plugin. However, a VST may work if you just need a small hit of analog. You may also want to look into MoogerFooger plugins -especially the lowpass filter VST... it may help butter up the high/harsh digital frequencies while making some fat sounding lower ends. But yes, I've used Nightsky and El Capistan. I can hear why people like their sound, it does sound highly professional. I do have, and very much enjoy, their Sunset OD pedal, however, I just can't get past their delay, reverb, or modulation technology. Anyway, the other day I remembered a pedal from JHS called "Color Box", which many use for that warm/analog 'direct mixer' sound. I read it's based off the circuit from a popular Neve studio mixer. I feel somewhat relived that I remembered the pedal, because the Kingsley pedal can use it as an amp. Guitar players, many love the Kingsley sound (they sound unbelievable), us a Kingsley plugged directly into a solid state power amp, or an 'amp pedal' --because you can't go direct from Kingsley to mixer. I've wanted the Kingsley sound, but I don't need any kind of amp. Looking at the Color Box specs again, I realized I could use it as an 'amp' for a Kingsley pedal. The Color Box/Kingsley combo may offer enough analog sound. If not, I can go directly into a Model 1.4 mixer. I'll be getting a mixer either way for effect pedal channels. I'll go one step at a time, starting with a Color Box/Kingsley combo, then a digital mixer for a lot of pedal channels. If i need more 'Analog Sound', I'll plug the digital mixer into a Model 1.4 mixer. I'm thinking this will make even the cleanest sounding timbres, pads, and instruments sound very warm with great analog body... and should fit well with my cello's sound. Hehe, I'm so happy I will be able to use a Kingsley pedal!! Good Luck my friend! ....to us both. :Dver, if you only need a small touch, enough to trick ears during busy music, a VST may work.

not a problem. of course if your source has some noise a compressor might push it out pretty hard

@@OoraMusic There seems to be a problem with a high pitched noise for some users, might be related to PSU and even Endorphines acknowledged it. If you didn't notice anything at all, I guess I'll get one and check myself. This thing is like a nifty little TC Finalizer in pedal format, but with kill switches for the three eq bands.

wish I still had one!

Never! but I know that their stuff is really great!

I used oto boum and fmr rnla for techno, but for finer minimal house nothing performed as good as the xpressor. It is a compressor that beats most of the plugins as well. I have drawmer, rnla, boum, platform, but nothing more effective while keeping the sound clean like the xpressor. It is mindblowing, that would be The Compressor if I had to pick a single one. Yet to try this golden master.

that one seems very cool !

I think so, but never tested the eurorack version

different things I think. I would keep them both

Will use them together? @@OoraMusic

well, we are talking about different leagues. The overstayer is a 4k pro studio tool, with lot more controls, but unusable live. The golden Master is a portable solution. This doesn't mean one sounds better than the other, they have different purposes.

Hey there, there are lot of other content creator specialized in cost effective or low budget .I tried few times doing video about free plugins, or cheap setup, and those video performed terribly. Sadly the content game and the audience expectations want you to stick with your turf. Luckily there are plenty of other great video one can watch!

@@OoraMusic Understood 👍

If you think oora's gear is the most expensive possible, look into modular synths lol

@@willp3754 I didn’t say ‘most expensive possible’ 🤡🫵

@@OoraMusicis there a way you can provide cheap alternatives at the end of each video? Just a small segment?
