Kludge Transwarmer for slight coloration
Feb 6th 2023The Kludge transwarmer gives a slight softening, and warmth, to an audio signal. I have utilized this as the last step in a signal chain, and also while mixing as a send unit to warm up a deep vocal track that was recorded through a more transparent pre-amp. It does the trick, subtle, but effective and takes off some of the digital edge that modern recordings can have. I also have used it on a somewhat sterile sounding acoustic guitar track and it gave it just the edge it needed. It has the impedance switch which you should try since it can make just the needed difference in the sound of the track you are working on. Eventually I will have at least one of each of all of the Kludge products. This line is made in a small shop in Virginia and there is a really solid feel to these modules. They are very streamlined, designed without a lot of frills, but built to last, built to do the job at hand.
