SHI

SHI is a saturation and tone-focusing plug-in that features targeted harmonic enhancement across a selected frequency range.

Inspired by the immediacy of small-format hardware, this plug-in is built to bring sounds into focus by adding harmonic energy exactly where it matters. It features zero latency, minimal CPU load, and a simple three-knob layout. Controlled with AMOUNT, DRIVE, and FREQUENCY, SHI can move from subtle bloom and lift to bold weight, midrange punch, or top-end urgency. It goes further as a creative mixing tool for guitars, drums, bass, loops, and sound design, adding size and character without getting in the way of the mix.

MAIN INTERFACE

• DRIVE controls the amount of saturation applied to the selected frequency range.
• FREQUENCY selects the frequency range being targeted by the saturation stage.
• AMOUNT controls the blend between the dry and processed signal.
• INPUT controls the signal coming into the effect.
• OUTPUT controls the signal coming out of the effect.
• POWER TOGGLE toggles the effect on and off.

ADVANCED PANEL

• MONO / DUAL MONO / STEREO behaves based on the track format. Mono instances show MONO disabled. Stereo instances can run DUAL MONO, where left and right channels are processed independently, or STEREO, where both channels are linked and the limiter will apply the same gain reduction to help keep the stereo image stable.
• LIMITER MODE (OFF / SAFE / AGGRO) is a post-clamp lightweight but powerful post-output limiter to avoid final clipping (-0.003 dB final clip). Use SAFE for transparent control and AGGRO for fast peak control.
• PH toggles the polarity. The button shows PH 0 for normal polarity or PH 180 for reverse polarity (180°).
• FILTERS toggles the position of HPF and LPF in the signal chain. The button shows FILTERS: PRE to indicate that HPF and LPF are processed before the pedal, or FILTERS: POST to indicate that HPF and LPF are processed after the pedal.
• MIX controls the mix between the dry signal and the processed signal.
• HPF adjusts the cutoff frequency of the HPF. The range is 20Hz to 2,000Hz.
• LPF adjusts the cutoff frequency of the LPF. The range is 2,000Hz to 20,000Hz.
