🧬 A Mastering-Grade Chain for the Modern Mix Engineer

The Magic Big Bus is AnalogX’s tribute to one of the most coveted analog mix bus chains in the world — a signal path built from boutique processors, world-class conversion stages, and dialled-in settings used by a top-tier mastering engineer.

Now elevated to our Ethereum‑X standard, this all-in-one emulation brings you deeper harmonic control, smoother dynamics, and better-than-hardware balance. Captured at 96kHz and modelled at 48kHz, it’s a plug-and-play solution for real near analog glue.

🎛️ What’s Inside the Chain

This Ethereum-X model combines multiple analog devices into one seamless profile. Every element has been sampled at studio-grade detail and carefully profiled for its dynamic behaviour:

• Stereo FET Harmonics Stage – Transformer saturation and transient punch reminiscent of dual 1176-style units
• Custom Solid-State EQ – Clean high-pass filtering and subtle tone shaping with upgraded op-amps
• Class A VCA Compression – SSL-style stereo glue, with mid/side dynamics behavior baked in
• Tube-Based Boutique EQ – NOS tubes and hand-matched curves for soft high-end lift
• High-End D/A and A/D Stages – The same mastering converters found in six-figure studio builds
• Final Stage Brickwall Limiting – Transparent peak control with musical presence
• Harmonic Exciter and Shaper – A digital-stage enhancement unit for post-limiter harmonic lift

Together, these stages recreate the full behavior of a complex summing and mastering bus — all wrapped into one Genesis profile.

💡 Why It Stands Out

• Ethereum‑X Engine – Our most advanced modeling architecture with smooth analog-style saturation and dynamic behaviour
• One-Profile Workflow – Combines the feel of a full analog summing chain in a single instance
• Master Bus Ready – Designed for professional-level cohesion, loudness, and tone
• High Resolution – Sampled at 96kHz, modeled at 48kHz for CPU efficiency
• Tuned by Professionals – Based on real-world mastering chain settings used by high-level engineers

⚙️ How to Use It

• Insert on your mix bus or master
• Set signal level to –18 dBFS RMS, peaking under –12 dBFS
• Set the red drive knob to –24 (fully left) — compressors and chains use this calibration
• Adjust Genesis output for unity gain
• Print if CPU becomes a factor — Ethereum‑X is worth it

🧩 Use Cases

• Mix Bus – Add glue, depth, and polished loudness
• Stem Processing – Shape grouped elements with rich analog tone
• Mastering Chains – One-profile finishing solution with headroom control
• Individual Tracks – Use it as an analog parallel tone box
• Print or Freeze – Ideal for final-stage capture in low-latency workflows

Near analog… we don’t pretend to be analog, we don't market our products as analog, but we think we are nearer than most — we’ll let the user decide.
