Acustica intros Jam2 & Fire The Jam: Discover Elite Saturation Mastery and Authentic Analog Warmth

Jam 2 is the first Acqua plugin suite (VST/VST3/AAX/AU) that includes a collection of saturation effects based on top-tier hardware units improved with our ‘Hyper’ 3 technology, delivering unparalleled sonic warmth and character to your music.

It can give the source a gentle 'analogue character' or go so far as to punish the signal with aggressive distortion delivering that 'extreme' drive to obtain pure 'screaming destruction' to bring authentic analog saturation to your digital studio.

Jam 2 is the perfect choice for those who seek a large number of saturation types, with a distinctive sound and an analog feel in a single plug-in suite, suitable anywhere in your mix and master bus applications, in just a few seconds and in a straightforward way!
