Amethyst4 User's manual: https://app.box.com/shared/static/8e...fe16alt3un.pdf

Amethyst4 is a plug-in suite in VST, AAX, AU formats that reproduces the sonic behavior of all the components of a channel strip as found in one of the most revered British consoles of all time. The Amethyst4 includes a channelstrip, an equalizer, a dynamic processor, and a new preamp section.

Amethyst4 Channelstrip includes three sections: a preamp, an equalizer plus filters, and a dynamic processor. Each of these sections is also available as a single plug-in for extended versatility.

The filter section integrates 2 filter sets (A-B mode). In addition to equalizer A, the EQ section includes a new emulation (B). The EQ's circuitry is based on a famous British design that will give you that unmistakably “expensive” sound.

The EQ B features 2 controls: GLOWY for the LF section and SHINY for the HF section. These controls allow you to change the low and high-shelf cells' slope, thus altering the overall tonal balance of the sound without changing its character.

What's new?

Amethyst was given a fresher look and upgraded to the latest technology, plus it now adds 49 new preamps (24 LINE + 24 MIC + 1 MIX ST) for a total of 53 emulations.
