How does Bad Buss Mojo work ?

[lolilol1975]

Hello,

I've found that I like very much what this bad boy JS does to my sound (and the Stillwell plugin), and to the audio I apply it to but I don't really know what I'm doing with it.

Can anyone explain what it's doing, the theory behind it and how to use it properly ?

Thank you.

It's a waveshaper of some description - I'm sure others could tell you more.

Why not playing around on sine generator?

I just did this with ReaSynth, but didn't really see what it does.

The positive knee slider adds harmonics. Mod A and Mod B seem to increase the overall level by 6dB max. All this even when the thresholds are set to 0dB or less, not sure how they come to play.

There is this description but that's about it:

Hopefully EpicSound or Kenny will figure it out and make a video on this plugin.

From the description you linked to it says pretty straightforwardly that its an amp simulator, where the x-axis is your incoming voltage (signal) and the y-axis is the output (effected signal). It starts as a 45-degree angle, meaning it's a 1:1 mapping of input to output. Tweaking the nobs changes that relationship non-proportionally and messes with your signal differently at different levels. They just aren't clear about how it does so, but they are clear that the way to figure it out is by playing with it =)

With that, thanks for introducing me to it, and I'm going to go play with it now.
Cheers

Thank you. I think I get it now.
