Jam is the first Acqua plug-in suite that includes a collection of saturation effects based on top-tier hardware units improved with our 'Hyper' 2 technology, delivering unparalleled sonic warmth and character to your music.
It can give the source a gentle 'analogue character' or go so far as to punish the signal with aggressive distortion delivering that 'extreme' drive to obtain pure 'screaming destruction' to bring authentic analog saturation to your digital studio.
Jam is the perfect choice for those who seek a large number of saturation types, with a distinctive sound and an analog feel in a single plug-in suite, suitable anywhere in your mix and master bus applications, in just a few seconds and in a straightforward way!
The King of saturators
Jam is more than just a collection of various analog saturation emulations.
Keeping in mind the simple concept is that the sound of transistors, tubes and pushed circuits has long been the key ingredient of high-quality analog recordings and is universally adopted by the vast majority of recording studios, our team has worked tirelessly to capture the true essence of analog sound and encapsulate its inherent nuances in a suite that contains the largest collection of distortion units currently on the market.
To develop Jam, we conducted meticulous research and analysis of both vintage and modern hardware. We carefully selected equipment with the most distinct sound and unique character, whether used sparingly or pushed to the extreme.
We then created highly precise emulations improving them with our second version of 'Hyper' technology to ensure authenticity and the best sound possible.
Main features
• 14 different high-quality sampled units.
• 25 different emulations of classic and modern analog saturation families.
• Hyper2 saturation technology.
• 2-band Hypers EQ plus HP-LP filters.
• 14 different Hyper Preamplifier stages.
• A Shape control to make the distortion more or less pronounced.
• Mix Type modes (Clean / Disto) to define the Dry / Wet algorithm type.
• Advanced metering system for RMS and LUFS.
• High quality oversampling, up to 16x; Eco oversampling, up to 64x, both with perfect phase response.
• Listening modes (Δ, LR, M, S).
• Over 80 presets available.
• Resizable GUIs*
*Choose between 3 magnification values (1x - 1.5x - 2x) from the top left ▼SIZE drop-down menu.
Once the desired size is selected, the plug-in must be removed and re-loaded to apply the changes. This action affects the currently selected plug-in. New instances of the same plug-in will open with this magnification.
