    About the "EL8 DE-STRESSOR Preamp Collection" for Nebula Pro


    "EL8 DE-STRESSOR Preamp Collection" for Nebula Pro is designed to provide you the most authentic sound of the electronics signal chain of this contemporary legend.

    I recommend using your software compressor first, followed by your choice of EL8 Preamp Program.


    you can use these on their own for any general 'tone/color' option in your mix. The device makes a wonderful, subtle fix for a cold digital process, and part of what makes it unique is its feature set that creates 2nd and 3rd order harmonic distortion in addition to its compression settings.
    The following information is a revision from hardware manual. This gives you an indication of the full feature set and capabilities of the EL8. This includes information of its sound structue that is captured in this NebPro Program Library, and it also contains information on compression controls that are only found in the hardware, which you can use from a software emulated.
    The hardware EL8 is unique, in that it, in itself, is an emulator. It contains special features and circuit Modes created specifically to model the behavior of a range of analog devices.

    FEATURES
    Emphasized tube-like 2nd harmonic distortion in Distort 2 Mode.
    3rd order dominant harmonic distortion, similar to tape, in Distort 3 Mode.
    Side chain EQ with high mid band emphasis to reduce harsh, edgy guitars or vocals.
    Low cut side chain to prevent low frequencies from pumping the upper frequencies of source material.
    Eight unique curves, including 1:1 for use with the harmonic distortion modes, "Nuke" brickwall limiting, a 10:1 "Opto" ratio using separate circuitry to emulate "light controlled" devices like the LA-2A.

    The EL8 Nebula Pro Program Library provides you with full dynamic (volume) layers of spectral and harmonic distortion responses of the device at the specific settings found in the program name.

    When you use the EL8 for NebPro with a software compressor, you can get some great ideas for settings to use on our choice of compressor from the recommendations in the EL8 hardware manual. You can download the manual for ideas and for your own reference:
