Overview

Tension, on one knob.

Magma StressBox controls the tension in a performance from one continuous knob, compressing as it turns right and expanding as it turns left. To the right it pulls room sound forward and adds urgency and in-your-face energy, to the left it tightens and creates intimacy. It exists for tracks that are technically fine but emotionally flat, where EQ, compression and saturation applied separately have not shifted the feel.
