Overstayer Modular Channel Shop all Overstayer Recording Equipment Inc

The 8755D is a stereo channel with filters, eq, compression, and harmonics stages throughout, with sophisticated routing and a series/parallel mixer matrix. High quality components and circuitry are used throughout. Though the unit can get extreme, the design aesthetic is that of a console in that it is capable of handling and maintaining the fidelity of a full mix through the unit. It is available in two versions:

• Overstayer Modular Channel Stereo 8755DS - a versatile stereo Line and instrument channel strip designed for tracking and mixing and offering anything from subtle layered enhancement to complete sonic destruction.
• Overstayer Modular Channel 8755DM - a flexible stereo Mic, Line and Instrument channel designed to add a subtle enhancement or complete sonic mayhem. Ideal for tracking and mixing it includes a preamp section, Low- and high-pass filters, EQ, compression and distortion.

The Modular Channel, and analog gear in general have a bit of chaos in them, which is why we love them and build them! Being a stereo unit, we trim for better than 1dB matching through a wide range of settings, but deviations are inevitable in certain circumstances (high filter resonance for instance). Generally these are more apparent visually on a meter than audibly. The Modular Channel is as much an instrument as a classic channel. It has several gain stages that are collectively capable of massive amounts of gain. High and low frequency instability and noise are possible especially at high gain settings, so be aware to keep headphone and speaker levels in check at all times.
