Choose the heat
The FLAME sweep crosses distinct distortion characters and reaches its strongest setting at maximum. Sear mode gives Flame a harder distortion voice.

Heat it.
Press it.
Place it.
Char Press brings harmonic colour and density to tracks and buses. Sweep FLAME through its distortion characters, add PRESSURE for weight, then choose a MODE to emphasise upper detail or preserve the bass.

TWO CHARACTER ENGINES
Flame and Pressure
split the work.
The controls meet inside one fixed path. Each move stays available to host automation and returns with the project.
Close the press
Pressure adds weight and density while the lid follows the settled control position.
ONE FRONT PANEL
The whole decision fits here.
A compact surface keeps sound and texture beside the blend and final level.
Pressure
Add weight and move the lid toward its closed position.
Flame
Set the amount of heat entering the character path.
Mode
Full processes the full signal. Sear adds bite to an active Flame; Rare preserves bass level and phase through 250 Hz. Rare + Sear combines both.
Mix
Place the processed path against the original signal.
Output
Trim the complete result between -24 and +12 dB.
Add Bacon
Cycle among three distinct texture states.
Dark
Dark progressively softens upper-mid bite and treble rasp.
ADD BACON + DARK
A little extra texture.
ADD BACON stores two distinct treatments beside Off. The panel marks 12-bit with amber embers and 8-bit with a denser red-orange pattern.
DARK lowers the upper edge as you move the slider, with an adaptive response to sustained brightness. The red lid deepens through oxblood toward black-red.
