The Louder Than Liftoff Chroma is a deceptively powerful piece of gear—simple on the surface, but incredibly deep once you start exploring what it can do.

At its heart, Chroma is all about tone shaping and harmonic enhancement, giving you a wide palette of color options that feel musical and intentional. Whether you’re adding subtle weight, forward midrange, or a bit of edge and attitude, it’s the kind of box that lets you dial in character without overthinking it.

In practice, Chroma shines as a tone box you’ll reach for constantly. It’s not about drastic transformation (unless you want it to be)—it’s about making things feel better, more finished, and more “record-like” with minimal effort.

For engineers who value flexibility and musical coloration, the Chroma is an inspiring tool that earns its place in just about any signal chain.

Chroma is the world's first 500 series audio processor with Twin Tone-Amp architecture and the ability to accept real analog plugins for expanding its feature set. Answering the call for a single channel Silver Bullet, Chroma delivers with its twin topology (A or N) line processor and mic amp, but adds an exciting twist - an analog plugin slot accepting Colour Modules. This feature allows additional processing and effects to be inserted into the signal path and mixed with Chroma's classic 'A' or 'N' inspired MOJO Amps.

BUS PROCESSOR & MIC PREAMP IN ONE

CHROMA was designed with hybrid workflows in mind just like its big brother, the Silver Bullet.  These days gear needs to be versatile on both the front endandthe back end.  Featuring MIX and MIC modes, Chroma is both a line level processor, and a microphone preamp.

TWIN TONE-AMP™ ARCHITECTURE

At the heart of CHROMA are two Mojo Amps inspired by classic large format consoles – American (A), and British (N).  These Mojo Amps lend their characteristic sonic footprints to any signal passing through the circuit.  Like the Silver Bullet, CHROMA is the only processor of its kind that allows you to enable A or N sonics at the push of a button.  Auditioning these two signature sounds during a session no longer requires re-patching or swapping preamps.

TONE SHAPING

Having the ability to shape tone with broad strokes can be just what the doctor ordered to get your tracks to pop in a mix. To round out the feature set, Chroma features switchable Baxandall High Frequency (HF) and Low Frequency (LF) EQ boosts derived from drBill’s favorite Silver Bullet settings for sweetening and enhancing individual tracks or mixes.  The user can select PRESENCE or AIR, and SUB or BASS frequencies via onboard jumpers.  The HF switch can be programmed to add the Silver Bullet’s VINTAGE filter as well.

CONSOLE-LIKE SIGNAL FLOW

Select your input source - Mic or Mix.  Choose A or N MOJO.  Apply some sweet sounding saturation, compression, filtering or tone shaping.
