From Empirical Labs
The UBK Fatso has the gorgeous tape-like Saturation and Harmonic Distortion of the original Fatso, as well as the same one-of-a-kind Warmth limiter for rounding and fattening spiky digital transients, topped off with a switchable Transformer for additional harmonics and overall thickening. Add in a separate Compressor section with 7 custom curves meticulously tuned by Gregory Scott, aka 'ubk', and the result is a dynamics shaping tool like no other.
Designed to give the operator the most unflinchingly musical compression regardless of the sound being processed or the amount of compression being applied, it will never pump or fold. The UBK Fatso makes easy work of the most difficult and mysterious process in sound engineering: dynamics control and transient shaping.
Vintage limiting, smooth opto leveling, transparent gain reduction, aggressive modern squeeze... whatever your vision, the UBK Fatso not only makes it possible, it makes it easy. 7 unique compressors - 4 “name” presets plus 3 “hidden gems”, produce a remarkable range of flavor, attitude, and grab, all rolled into a one-knob interface that makes it impossible to screw up.
