a good gabber trick is to overload preamps in a desk to give you that dirty square wave. cheap is better.
mean and low
said it before but gates can do wonders. seriously overlooked nowadays, early techno producers used those a lot
overload a signal, than gate it to make it snappy, often the gate adds an extra click, if you mangle it enough
I'd seriously recommend getting a small modular system, load it with a midi interface, a couple of filters, phaser, and adsr (instead of getting a dedicated gate) to use as a signal processor, apart from the normal synthesizer function.
Horseface, how's the duende treating you? doesn't it have the slam that mofo SSL agressive compression?
This a relative of yours?
