ThrillseekerLA is a digital stereo leveling amplifier with real analog qualities.

Deep gain riding full of musical character and attitude, virtually no inter-modulation (IM) distortion artifacts
Feedback compression design w/o any samplerate based delay in the loop
Classic input level driven two knob design with additional manual attack and release time interventions
Highly program dependent envelope timing adoption offering attack times ranging from “instantaneously” up to around 100ms and release times from 30ms up to several seconds
Mix level switch to adopt the plug-ins internal gain staging to mixing levels at around -18dBFS
Custom SC filter option to attenuate the SC bass response while slightly boosting the HF spectrum
Additional one pole (6dB per octave) SC low-cut filter adjustable from 20 to 500Hz
External sidechain support
Switchable Input/GR/Output metering display
Variable compression range control from 0 to 100%

ThrillseekerLA not only introduces way smooth gain riding capabilities but first and foremost features a non-linear amplifier stage which is based on a non-linearity with memory yielding creamy signal coloration duties:

Custom algorithms based on a true stateful non-linear saturation model
Compression and load dependent 2nd order harmonic distortion generation
Controllable odd order total harmonic distortion generation
Six individual preset distortion profiles offering different tonal qualities like warmth and top-end sheen or simply improved depth perception
Authentic audio transformer simulation including typical LF distortions as well as frequency and load dependent analog circuit effects
