The internal architecture of Eighteen utilises custom-made discrete opamps along with Cinemag input and output transformers. Super clean sounds are easy to achieve, but the Eighteen really comes into its own when pushed to add more turgid analogue saturation to vocals, drums or any acoustic instrument.

Eighteen’s EQ can be pushed to an aggressive level without sounding too harsh, and the built-in boost and cut functions can ably boost focus to the low end and mid/high range with exquisite clarity.
