Intuitive better-maker for most sources

The Charisma features a high voltage tube circuit for saturation and distortion and a one-knob transient designer (called "Charisma"). I use it in front of compressors for drum overheads and for making synthesizers more interesting. Rounds off transients very nicely, creates sparkling saturation when driven harder. The "Charisma" function is excellent for creating depth when e.g. placing your tracks in the mix, as you can clearly hear them moving back and forwards when tourning the knob. Less vintage sounding, more of the modern kind, but very usable, if you want to have an analog exciter in your rack.
