After we got our hands on a GHOST Stereo Effects Processor from ENDORPHIN.ES last month, we couldn’t wait for their next creation to head our way. Well, we’ve got just that for you today: the GOLDEN MASTER Multiband Mastering Processor. Used at the end of your signal chain, it gives everything in your chain a polish, and edge, a sparkle, and with a ton of options and sounds, it’s a unit you didn’t know you needed…
The GOLDEN MASTER takes inspiration from studio mastering and radio loudness units from the 1990s and gives control over the EQ, compression (with parallel compression) and mid/side processing. All three available at the same time along with the and multiband sidechain input that can be triggered using audio sources sent into the expression pedal input. The settings are simplified and intuitive.
Thanks to the 24-bit/96kHz audio fidelity with 32 bit internal processing, you’ll get incredible processing power. It features three bands – low, medium, and high – each handling its distinct part of the audio spectrum. These controls feature a single knob that both boosts and cuts signals. Set the overall loudness limit of your sounds and the brickwall limiter ensures all your sounds stay in check.
This multi-band effect is the perfect end-of-chain tool, ensuring that anything you throw at it sounds dynamic and full. Additionally, it features high impedance inputs and pseudo-balanced outputs, allowing it to work as a DI-box on stage. Configurable expression jack input can either be used to control EQ band gain or can be switched to sidechain mode, which works by extracting the envelope follower curve from an audio source fed into the expression pedal input and can be mapped to control each EQ band in certain proportions (directly or inverted).
The GOLDEN MASTER has a surprisingly wide application palette: from guitarists (and especially bass guitarists) to pedalboards or entire electronic mix end-of-chain processor to deliver high pressure audio for live concerts and venues: sound loud and punchy without overloading the master limiter. In our demo below, we utilize a Korg Monotribe and the excellent ENDORPHIN.ES GHOST, along with this silver beauty, to create a wide spectrum of sounds. Be sure to check it out on our YouTube channel, and visit the ENDORPHIN.ES website for ordering and more info – cheers!!
