Fatso er en stereoprocessor der, som navnet siger, beregnet til at gøre lyden federe. Det gør den med harmonisk forvrængning/soft clipping, generering af højfrekvente harmoniske, emulering af trafoer og analoge tonehoveder og endelig ved klassisk hard knee kompression.

Fatso er designet med et minimum af kontroller – til gengæld kan (næsten) enhver meget hurtigt opnå et godt resultat.

Frekvensområde 2 Hz til 160 kHz i “clean” mode (+0, -3 dB).
110 dB dynamikområde (20% THD soft clipping) fra max. til min. output i 1:1 mode. S/N bedre end 100 dB.
Fra 0.06% til 20% distortion, afhængig af mode og indstillinger.
DC koblet in- og output + elektronik med højkvalitets kondensatorer.
Tidskonstanter – Attack fra 1mS – 200mS. Release fra 0.05 sek. til 3.5 sek. Attack- og releasetider er faste og afhængige af kompressionstypen.
Metalchassis – 1 rack U

Fatso is a stereo processor that, as the name says, intended to make the sound fatter. It does this with harmonic distortion/soft clipping, generation of high-frequency harmonics, emulation of transformers and analog tone heads and finally with classic hard knee compression. Fatso is designed with a minimum of checks – in return (almost) anyone can achieve a good result very quickly.

Frequency range 2 Hz to 160 kHz in ‘clean’ mode (+0, -3 dB).
110 dB dynamic range (20% THD soft clipping) from max to min output in 1:1 mode. S/N better than 100 dB.
From 0.06% to 20% distortion, depending on mode and settings.
DC coupled input and output + electronics with high-quality capacitors.
Time constants – Attack from 1ms to 200ms. Release from 0.05 sec to 3.5 sec. Attack and release times are fixed and depend on the compression type.
