CR-1

Crush · Slam · Obliterate

Polite mixes die here.

Sonic destruction made simple.

Thin kick. Polite snare. A mix that floats when it should slam. CR-1 fixes all of it - without making you think about it.

Crush your transients for explosive weight. Add grit that gives tracks real personality. Or both - in under a minute. CR-1 doesn't polish your drums, it obliterates them.

What it does

Built to hit harder.

01

Where ordinary sounds go to die.

The CRUSH circuit thickens your sound from the ground up. It infuses your tracks with raw weight and aggression while preserving the massive low-end core. Every hit that should slam, slams - now with the teeth to back it up.

02

Flatten it. Or let it breathe.

Stop fighting thin, weak recordings. CR-1 crushes the erratic peaks that eat up your headroom, replacing them with thick, consistent weight. You get more impact, more grit, and a more aggressive footprint without the headache of complex parallel chains.

03

Grit on demand.

Dial in subtle warmth or crank it for chaos. The distortion circuit adds character that transforms flat, lifeless sounds into bold statements that refuse to sit in the background.

04

Fast. Filthy. Done.

CR-1 is built for speed. No complex chains. Dial it in. Move on. Your mix gets the aggression it needs and you get back to creating.

Under the hood

How it works.

123
1

Mercilessly axe transients and pump life into thin, brittle sounds, pianos, guitars, synths, and percussion.

2

Inject seismic impact and punch with a brutally intense compressor.

3

Add deliciously dirty distortion with a 2x switch that dials the chaos to 11.
