The main page of the instrument gives you a simple interface designed to help you focus on playing. Quickly tweak sounds using the six assignable macro knobs.

INSIDE THE RECORDING PROCESS

The drum sounds were recorded at United Recording’s iconic Studio A in Hollywood using a blend of old school studio techniques and new school tweaking. They were then given Butch’s unique processing treatment, running through a bespoke selection of analogue and digital preamps, compressors, stompboxes and more at his home studio ‘GrungeIsDead’.
