It almost seems that on some or most material you are saying that even with warmth at max (7), you might only get 2-4db reduction (on the warmth meters??)?? |
rest easy, i have not touched the Warmth circuit.
what i *have* done is radically change how one preset, Splat, feeds the Warmth circuit. Splat operates with a very different internal gain structure than all the other comps, because i wanted it to have a totally different range of control. basically, i wanted it to go to extremes and beyond without totally overloading the thd and saturation circuits; this is why splat begins compressing with the input knob around 1-2. you can then go all the way to 10 and do some amazing overcompressive stuff (like i did in the video) without clipping all the circuits that follow.
Smooth has essentially the same Warmth responsiveness as the classic Fatso, at most it differs by one or two db of reduction at the extremes.
Glue actually has increased responsiveness, you can crush the bejeebus out of things with that monster, but again it's close, maybe 2 more db at the extremes.
and with no presets engaged, the Warmth circuit is IDENTICAL to the classic Fatso in every respect, i left the biasing of that circuit completely intact. in an early rev i experimented with having 'no preset' actually do a little compressing, but i realized many people use their Fatso as just a saturation and warming device, and figured i'd leave that functionality as it was.
so no worries, you actually have more options for Warmth shenanigans on the UBK Fatso than on the classic Fatso, but for the most part it is very close to what you've come to expect.
does all of that make sense?
