The channel strip developed with Andrew Scheps combines preamp saturation, EQ, de-esser, compressor and gate in one window.

Scheps Omni Channel 2 combines the cohesive sound of analogue channel strips with the flexibility of digital processing. New additions are the CRUSH saturation flavour for aggressive distortion, the SOFT soft-knee compressor alongside VCA, FET and OPT, and a resonant 24 dB filter for effects such as filter sweeps. Plugins by other manufacturers can also be hosted in the insert point, and the module order is freely configurable.
