The Magnetimus is purpose-built for shaping drums and other transient-heavy sources such as acoustic guitars.
At its core, it combines a versatile VCA compressor with a dedicated transient shaper, delivering a thick, tape-like character that sits naturally in the mix. Unlike simple transient level adjustments, the shaper rounds off transients in a musical way, bringing the feel of classic analog tape.
A Mode switch adjusts the time window of the transient processing, while an added output transformer introduces extra weight and harmonic density.
Beyond drum and mix applications, the Magnetimus also excels in creative sound design, capable of everything from subtle enhancement to deliberate sonic “destruction.”
