VxBx

Everything Your Vocal Needs. Already Built In.

VxBx combines the essential processing behind a professional vocal chain into one streamlined plugin, so the moment you insert it, your vocal already feels cleaner, bigger, more controlled, and ready to mix.

Recording a great vocal is only half the job. The real magic happens in the processing that makes it feel like a finished record. Whether you're tracking vocals in a bedroom studio or a professional room, plugging a microphone straight into an interface almost never delivers the sound you hear on your favorite records. Professional vocals aren't created by accident. They're built through layers of compression, saturation, tone shaping, noise cleanup, and effects that help the vocal sit naturally inside the mix.

Push Vocals to the Front of the Mix Without Crushing Them

Inspired by the aggressive vocal chains used on modern rock and metal records, Spank gives vocals the control, weight, and attitude they need to stay front and center.

Every professional vocal chain has one job above all else—make the vocal feel like it's sitting confidently in front of the band. That's rarely achieved with compression alone. It comes from carefully combining dynamics, harmonic color, tonal shaping, and years of engineering decisions into a chain that simply makes vocals feel finished. At the heart of VxBx is Spank—a custom vocal processor that blends aggressive compression with analog-inspired saturation, tonal shaping, and proprietary processing working behind the scenes. Instead of juggling multiple plugins to make vocals sit in the mix, a single control lets you dial in more consistency, presence, and forward energy until the vocal feels exactly where it belongs.

Give Your Vocals the Attitude Modern Records Demand

Add harmonic bite, grit, and excitement that helps screams and aggressive vocals cut through dense mixes without sounding harsh or overprocessed.

Modern rock and metal vocals need more than compression to stand in front of walls of guitars and massive drums. They need harmonic energy that gives every scream, shout, and chorus the urgency and aggression listeners expect from a finished record. The Aggro circuit was designed around the harmonic saturation techniques engineers use to bring excitement back into heavily compressed vocals. Push it subtly for extra edge and presence, or drive it harder to give screams the grit, vibrance, and attitude they need to stay front and center without disappearing into the mix.

Create Bigger, Wider Vocals Without Building an Effects Chain

Everything you need to add depth, width, movement, and space is already built in, so your vocals feel inspiring from the very first insert.

The best vocal effects aren't there just to be heard—they're there to make a performance feel larger than life. Whether it's a subtle slap that keeps the vocal locked in the center, delays that fill the space between phrases, or reverbs that make the vocal feel like it's living inside the record, every effect has a job to do. VxBx brings together the essential vocal effects engineers reach for every day in one streamlined section. Slap adds a tight mono slapback that gives vocals depth while keeping them upfront. Delay A delivers an 1/8-note repeat for rhythmic movement, while Delay B provides a wider 1/4-note delay that can be paired with Shifter to introduce subtle pitch modulation and stereo width. Choose between a classic Plate Reverb for polished vocal ambience or a larger Room Reverb for bigger, more spacious productions. Every effect also includes its own dedicated high-pass and low-pass filters, letting you shape exactly how much low end and top end sits in the effect, so your vocal stays clear, focused, and perfectly balanced without opening another plugin.
