MixHead

TEC25 Finalist
MixHead's Plugin

Serban Ghenea 

​

"The Machine Head was a very useful and valuable tool as a single until hardware piece, but now as a plugin it allows me to use it in ways that I could never before!"

The Secret Weapon 

Make Believe Studios MixHead captures the lightning in a bottle that this unique box offered. Knowing what we do now, and with myriad tape plugins at our disposal, some of the design approaches taken with the original unit may seem backwards or counter-intuitive today, but they are approaches that still work, and are quite fun to experiment with. We even added a few requested features like tenth of a decibel HF Adjust and a new 3.75ips lo-fi mode.
