Space Heater 500 Applications
DI Bass recording
Adding some distortion to a direct bass recording can make it sound like an amp in the mix. Experiment with the level and drive controls to take a clean bass into SVT territory!
Harmonic distortion while tracking
Placing the Space Heater in line with your mic preamp allows you to record the luscious harmonic distortion while tracking. Add it to the channel strip of your choice to expand the sonic possiblities.
Apply analog distortion to digital effects
Adding distortion to the output of a digital delay or reverb can mimic your favourite vintage analog effects. Don't be afraid to turn it up! Distortion can differentiate the effected sound from the direct, allowing it to really jump out of the mix!
