What it does
A component-level recreation of Louder Than Liftoff’s Silver Bullet mk2 hardware. Signal runs through two cascadable Mojo amps, British A and American N, then Colour modules (Hitmaker, Bitmaker, vinyl, Hexacle Scan and VHS from Unfiltered Audio, plus two compressors) into a Baxandall-style EQ with Air, Tight highpass, Vintage and Aspect Ratio. Dyna Realism offers digital, analog and a modulated Flux mode; two circuit bends add break-up.
In the demo
Jade runs it on the stereo out of two Logic Pro projects, a shoegaze metal track and a MIDI-heavy 2023 song, switching it off and on. She works through routing, amps, each EQ control, the modules and headroom, then pushes gain and circuit bending past where she would leave them.
Worth knowing
iPhone and iPad only; Mac and Windows use the separate desktop plugin, $50 on sale at recording time against $175 list. It is a colour and glue processor, not a transparent limiter or surgical EQ.
