The Overstayer M-A-S Harmonics Processor was designed to be an analog 'more' control. More color, more harmonics, more tone. It gives you the harmonic character and peak rounding of classic recording and mixing chains in a simple, highly controllable rack-mount unit.
The Overstayer M-A-S gives you the harmonic character and peak rounding of classic recording and mixing chains in a simple, highly controllable rack-mount unit.
The limiting nature of the M-A-S stages rounds and bends peaks resulting in increased apparent volume, without the timing artifacts associated with compression. Its integrated pushbutton High and Low EQ presets, High Pass Filter and Emphasis circuits help further shape the harmonic content of source material. Use it on the individual tracks for cumulative benefits. The M-A-S can add consistency as peaks and harsh transients get smoothed and absorbed into the performance, making balancing tracks in the mix easier, and lessening the need for bus limiting down the line. Used on a full mix, the added harmonic content can energize, and add cohesiveness and detail. The Mix control allows the character to be balanced to taste. Bring harmonics and tone to your bass, synths, drum machines and samplers with the integrated front panel high impedance input.

"Secret Sauce" for your mixes
Jul 29th 2024The MAS is a great option to get that last 10% on your mix. It can "glue" a track together in a way that's hard to describe except that you don't miss it until it's bypassed and you go "what happened!" It's also a great DI for synths and keyboards, driving it harder can really make stall sounds come to life. I particularly like using it with Mellotron M4000D. It doesn't do over the top distortion like the Saturator or something like the Culture Vulture, I'd compared it more with something like the RND 542 but much more flexible.
