Big Purple Bastard – Neural Valve Summing Emulations (GENESIS)

AnalogX Purple Bastard – Neural Valve Summing Emulations (GENESIS)
Exclusive to Genesis | Sampled at 192kHz | Powered by Ethereum Series
Price: £20

The Big Tube Beast is Here. Welcome to Neural Valve Summing With Big Balls.

Step aside, polite summing boxes. The AnalogX Purple Bastard emulations bring thunderous Class A tube tone, fat harmonics, and thick summing coloration straight into your Genesis session. This rare British-built summing mixer is known across the globe for its wild tone-shaping flexibility, huge attitude, and unmistakable “air and attitude” controls. And now, thanks to Ethereum Series profiling, it's yours in full resplendent glory—at zero maintenance and zero noise floor.

Whether you want subtle width, a touch of “air,” or full-fat saturation that leaves digital mixes in the dust, this summing emulation is the big valve backbone you didn’t know you needed.

🎚️ What’s Inside

This Ethereum Series pack includes seven richly profiled captures of the iconic 2U tube summing unit, featuring its signature Air and Attitude controls dialled to musical sweet spots:

• PB ATT 1 AIR 1 – Ethereum
• PB ATT 1 AIR 3 – Ethereum
• PB ATT 3 AIR 1 – Ethereum
• PB ATT 3 AIR 3 – Ethereum
• PB ATT 3 AIR 3 (KC FAV Settings) – Ethereum
• PB ATT 3 AIR 3 (KC FAV – Outs 9/10) – Ethereum
• PB ATT 6 MAX AIR 3 – Ethereum

*ATT = Attitude

All emulations are sampled at 192kHz and optimized for 48kHz playback in Genesis. Whether you want clean tube sheen or full-bodied harmonic glue, every model delivers big tone with a punch.

🧬 A Brief History

Inspired by one of the most eccentric and revered modern analog summing mixers ever made, this 2U beast was designed with only one goal—tone with attitude. Unlike sterile analog summing boxes or software “mix glues,” this transformer-rich valve design was engineered to enhance character, vibe, and boldness.

The original hardware features stepped Attitude (gain) and Air (presence) controls, with glowing eyes and a raven-themed front panel that became its calling card in boutique studios. Used on award-winning records across genres—from vintage soul to modern EDM—it’s earned its place as a go-to for anyone who wants mojo over minimalism.

With help from KC (a true legend who helped make this possible), we’ve sampled this cult-classic summing amp across its most iconic settings—so you can now dial in the exact same depth, energy, and analog personality in seconds.

💡 Why It Stands Out

• Real Valve Summing Vibe – Adds depth, stereo width, and harmonic “air”
• Bold, Musical Control States – Attitude and Air settings captured and labelled
• Powered by Ethereum Series – Real-time feel, near analog tone
• Calibrated for Genesis 1.02 – Red Drive knob at 12 o’clock = -18dB RMS
• No Maintenance, No Heat, No Tubes – Just straight up neural analog tone

⚙️ Product Features

• Ethereum Series Neural Models (~1.7% CPU stereo / 0.7% mono)
