Final polish. Analog depth. Mix-ready tone.

The Fusion is not about a single process — it’s about finishing the mix.

Combining saturation, tonal shaping, and dynamic control, it enhances clarity, adds weight, and brings cohesion to your sound with a polished analog character.


Now updated with independently captured Left and Right channel profiles for authentic True Stereo operation using TSC Rack’s L/R Split mode.

Audio Demo

Compare the original hardware signal and the NAM profile across a range of sources — bass, guitar, synth, and more.
Each example demonstrates how closely the profile captures the tone, dynamics, and harmonic response of the hardware.
The NAM and hardware samples are gain-matched to allow for a more accurate evaluation of the capture’s fidelity.
For additional context, a dry (unprocessed) version is also included.

True Stereo Operation

The original hardware features independently operating channels, each with its own unique analog behavior and subtle sonic characteristics.

To preserve this authenticity, every profile pair was captured independently from each channel of the original hardware.

Unlike conventional stereo processing, the Left and Right channels are not duplicated. Each profile retains its own unique analog fingerprint, closely reflecting the behavior of the original unit.

For the intended experience, load the matching CH1 and CH2 profiles using TSC Rack’s L/R Split mode. This preserves the natural depth, width, and dimensionality of the original hardware.

How it behaves

  • Multiple processes combine into a cohesive final sound
  • Harmonics, tone, and dynamics are shaped together
  • Results range from subtle polish to bold coloration

Why this capture is different

  • Multi-stage analog processing captured in a single profile
  • Wide tonal range from subtle polish to heavy saturation
  • Designed for mix bus and final stage processing

Gain Staging Advice

Our captures are pre-calibrated at -18 dBFS input level.
For best results, we recommend feeding the plugin with an input signal close to -18 dBFS.

Due to gain reduction during the profiling process, the output level of a loaded profile may be slightly lower than the original input signal.

Please adjust the Output control to match your source level or to reach your preferred listening volume.

    It is difficult to comprehend that I am utilizing a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW), yet I am perceiving analog saturation, harmonics, weight, and depth that exceed the capabilities of any available plugins.
