WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?

Retro Channels 1 & 2 feature two unique variable harmonic COLOUR

controls per channel - HMX & IRON. Designed to emulate tones often

associated with 1960’s tube designs and the coveted transformer zing

of British audio in the 1970’s, HMX & IRON will add new dimension

to your audio by providing warm, sparkly tones. Better still, you can

combine them to get anywhere in between!
