Softube Overstayer M-A-S

Experience the brilliance of the Overstayer M-A-S plug-ins by Softube, expertly designed for high-fidelity saturation and peak-bending capabilities. Inspired by Jeff Turzo’s remarkable designs in Los Angeles, these plug-ins deliver the same exceptional saturation as the original hardware, while offering enhanced versions for even better performance. The M-A-S and M-A-S Extended plug-ins are the ideal tools for adding energy to tracks, enhancing mixes, and effectively sculpting the tone of your audio.

With a rich history of emulating professional audio gear, Softube brings nearly two decades of experience to the Overstayer M-A-S plug-ins. Every detail is meticulously modelled, fine-tuned, and A/B tested against the hardware counterpart, resulting in a perfect emulation of the original harmonic shaping. This ensures unparalleled sound quality, making it a preferred choice for professional mix engineers.

The M-A-S plug-ins offer versatile harmonic shaping, allowing you to enhance the character and detail of any sound source effortlessly. The plug-ins can increase apparent volume without timing artefacts associated with compression, replacing the need for compression or limiting. They are designed to smooth harsh transients and reduce brittleness in peaks, bringing your audio forward with exceptional clarity.

The Overstayer M-A-S plug-ins come in four versions: M-A-S, M-A-S Extended, M-A-S for Amp Room, and M-A-S for Modular. They feature Dual and 2ND modes for increased energy and coherence, five new emphasis types, and a fully flexible 4-band parametric emphasis EQ for the M-A-S Extended version. Additionally, the M-A-S Extended version includes 12 dB/octave resonant low and high-pass filters for deeper harmonic shaping.
