Description:
SAMUEL is a console-style channel strip featuring a saturation preamp, a gate, a feedback compressor, and a zero-latency four-band equalizer.
Four-band console-style EQ; SAMUEL’s LF and LMF EQ bands located next to the display
Two shelving bands and two bell-curve bands, all permanently in the signal path: setting a band to its center position adds nothing to the signal, so there is no need to switch bands in or out. The LF band ranges from 30 to 450 Hz and the HF band from 1.5 to 16 kHz; the LMF band ranges from 200 Hz to 2.5 kHz and the HMF band from 600 Hz to 7 kHz, each with a Q factor adjustable from 0.5 to 3. Two range buttons shift the bell curves—×3 lowers the LMF range, while ×3 raises the HMF range to approximately 21 kHz—and each band offers ±17 dB of gain. The gain and Q controls operate just like those on a console channel strip, and the bass and treble bands retain their full depth.
High-pass and low-pass filters
SAMUEL high-pass and low-pass filter controls with LEDs
The high-pass filter operates from 20 to 350 Hz, and the low-pass filter from 12 kHz down to 3 kHz. In the OFF position, the filter is completely bypassed; a small LED beneath each knob indicates whether the filter is active. An EQ engage switch bypasses the entire EQ section, including the filters, for quick “before-and-after” comparisons.
Preamp saturation — mic and line
SATURATION control knob with ON and LINE switches
Preamp stage located at the top of the channel strip. The LINE setting preserves the purity of the high frequencies while adding warmth to the lows; the MIC setting delivers a broader, brighter sound. The drive operates within a range of -12 to +24 dB, and the stage maintains unity gain; consequently, increasing the drive alters the tonal character rather than the volume—below 0 dB, the sound is cleaner than unity, while above it, harmonic content increases. The entire stage utilizes oversampling to prevent harmonic aliasing into the audible range.
A gate that behaves like a console gate
SAMUEL’s gate section: Threshold, Range, Release, and Hysteresis
THRESHOLD ranges from -30 to +10; ATTENUATION RANGE from 0 to 40 dB; RELEASE from 0.1 to 4 seconds, with a FAST attack toggle. HYST (Hysteresis) determines how far below the opening point the gate closes again, preventing a decaying tom or ringing snare from “chattering” at the threshold. The left column of LEDs indicates the amount of gain reduction applied by the gate.
