PreSonus Fat Channel XT Channel Strip Plug-In (Download)

Originally designed for integrated compatibility between Studio One and StudioLive mixers, Fat Channel XT brings award-winning StudioLive processors and State Space models of vintage EQs and compressors to your DAW of choice. Fat Channel XT was designed to be the ultimate channel strip for any input or bus with a variable high-pass filter, gate/expander, compressor, EQ, and limiter in one singular plug-in.

In addition to the classic StudioLive compressor and EQ modules, you get two State Space Modeled compressors and EQs recreated from coveted vintage studio gear. Need more virtual analog goodness? Fat Channel XT can be expanded with any or all of the eight compressor and seven EQ models in the Fat Channel Plug-In Collection.

PreSonus developers stand at the forefront of State Space Modeling technology, and they put their expertise to good use when designing the latest-generation Fat Channel XT by adding hybrid State Space models of vintage compressors and EQs. After installation, you’ll find three compressor models complete with Key Listen functions, plus three EQ models inside Fat Channel XT. The compressor and EQ order can be reversed, allowing for precision sculpting of your sound. Each processor can be disabled or enabled individually; and if you need more virtual vintage goodies, PreSonus offers eight additional compressor models and seven additional EQ models as add-ons.

The vintage compressors and EQs in Fat Channel XT are meticulously recreated from the original analog circuits using State Space Modeling technology. This same technology also powers the Ampire amp models, Channel Strip Collection plug-ins, and the Studio One Console Shaper, ensuring that the nuanced, variable sonic character of analog survives its transition to the digital realm.
