Phat Ketchup is an audio plugin designed to enhance your sound by shaping the frequency spectrum with a 4-band equalizer. It focuses on enriching bass frequencies while avoiding muddiness and adds brightness to the high end for a sparkling clarity. The plugin also applies gentle stereo widening specifically to the high frequencies, creating a more spacious and lively audio experience.

In addition to equalization and stereo enhancement, Phat Ketchup features multiband saturation that adds warmth and character to your sound. The processed signal is then run through a full-band compressor that emulates the characteristics of classic FET, Opto, and Console compressors, providing dynamic control with a musical touch. This combination of processing elements aims to bring depth and punch to your audio tracks.

Phat Ketchup is suitable for a wide range of audio sources, including individual instruments, drum buses, and full mixes. By adjusting the input gain, users can increase saturation and clipping for more intense and dramatic tonal effects. The plugin also includes a visual indicator that displays the amount of compression applied, helping you maintain control over your sound during processing.
