The Vertigo Sound VSM-4 Mix Satellite is a high-quality valve distortion and saturation plugin inspired by the 1959 W. Frank Custom Tube Desk circuitry. This classic design features large transformers, innovative valve circuits, and passive filters, all of which have been meticulously recreated to deliver rich, analog-style warmth and character. The VSM-4 brings this vintage sound to modern music production, enhancing your mixes with authentic tube-driven saturation.

Unlike previous versions, the VSM-4 is a standalone plugin that builds upon the strengths of earlier models while introducing new capabilities for mixing and mastering. It incorporates transformer emulation with automatic gain adjustment and bass enhancement, along with triode and pentode valve emulations that offer detailed control over tonal characteristics. The plugin also includes input filters that can be adjusted continuously or set to fixed bands, providing flexible shaping options to suit a wide range of audio sources.

Additional modern features include Mid-Side processing for both triode and pentode saturation stages, as well as solo modes to isolate distortion effects during mixing. Users can independently control Mid-Side and Left-Right output levels, allowing precise spatial adjustments. The interface is designed to be scalable, ensuring an efficient workflow across different screen sizes. The VSM-4 Mix Satellite is a powerful tool for producers seeking to add distinctive valve saturation and dynamic control to their mixes.
