VX1 brings Grammy winner Tony Maserati’s go-to vocal chains to your studio, with three room characters called Contours.

Contour 1 provides the sound of a studio or small venue, Contour 2 a larger chamber with reflective pre-delays suited to slow ballads, and Contour 3 a very small room with matching delay for quicker-tempo songs. These are not just different reverb or delay settings, but the right effects to squeeze more emotion from a subtle performance or make the vocal sit just right in a large production. The Compress control in Contours 1 and 2 accentuates nuances, the Air control in Contour 3 adds clarity, and each Contour has customised Bass and Treble curves; 16 presets provide quick starting points.
