It’s…. The amazing Sweetbus analog audio processor!
Two stereo / dual mono sets of carefully chosen audio transformers to enhance and beautify your music and audio.
Set one are the warmer of the two, and even at lower saturation settings impart a beautiful glueing of the soundstage - audio just sounds nicer to the ear, more finished and much more 3d. The more you push into them (we use Logic’s I/O utility) the more the transients get rounded off and the more settled the mix becomes - plus it all sounds natural - no nasty compression artifacts to mess or muddy things up - just natural dynamics doing their analog thing.
A bit like running your music through a nice mixing desk - but without the cost, the maintenance or the spatial loss.
You can of course push hard into the transformers for creative sound design work - these guys will go into Freak mode of you lead them down disto alley - and this is not safe plugin distortion guys - this is analog Warpout Stortion!
Way more energetic and fun!
Most 70’s and 80’s producers drove hard into mixing desks to get power into their music.
But you don’t need to do that - because each set has two passive switcheable distortion circuits wired into the transformers! Oh yeah. You can dial in the Perfect amount from gentle low end crushing to hallucinogenic 3d UniverseSplosion (check the electronic version video) - both green and white distortion sets bring something interesting and creative to the table - and let your music breathe. I built a similar circuit for an electronic artist (set two with white diode distortion) - and everyone that bought That thing say it’s the best bus device they have. Just a touch on the mixbus or at mastering stage brings light and life to the audio proceedings.

This unit is completely passive btw - no nasty power supplies or batteries muddying up the audio path - the lights get their power from your music!

Set two are punchier than set 1 and saturate in a very lovely way - plus they just sound different. These guys are better for pushing into InfernoStortion, but at lower saturation settings offer a very beautiful “space” to sit audio in. We’ve been using set 2 on the drum and bass bus - and using set 1 for general mixbus duties - but hey …. there Are no rules.
Balanced jacks at inputs and outputs.
Both creatively and as a general bus processor - Sweetbus will bring the analog majesty, and at 17 times less cost than the Neve counterpart!
90 per cent of the time you’ll just want a touch on the mixbus to finish and polish your soundstage - make everything right. Creatively though - ooof - stratosphere’s the limit! Burn into that badass!
