ULTRASHEER

ultrasheer is a stereo reverb and vibrato combination inspired by the early digital studio effects units of the late 1970s, capable of moving you from a lush warbled space to a shallow room through an intuitive and satisfyingly tactile interface

the reverb draws from the plate sound of the classic Lexicon 224, bringing retro character with modern hardware underneath. the vibrato is smooth and transparent, with two waveforms that range from Leslie-style movement to the pitch warble of a sun-baked cassette

"One of the things I like so much about Ultrasheer is the lack of options. Two effects, two sounds, it's up to you to use it wisely and make it worth its weight in walnut."

"We're amazed at how good the Ultrasheer sounds with literally any sound source. It's a stellar ambient effect for guitars and synthesizers."
