Thrillseeker XTC is a contemporary exciter build around a true parallel analog style equalizer design.
ThrillseekerXTC is all about adding weight, vibe and attitude back to the sound. It delivers all the character of an analog signal path and provides what digital processing usually is hard pushed to, including a rich low-end experience and that vibrant 'expensive' top-end.
A unique take on a parallel analog equalizer design which includes full control about sonic color and mojo. Transient based processing to revive energy and vibe. Made for musicians and engineers to pleasingly enhance audio during the mixing or mastering stage.

- Three parallel coupled equalizers containing three stateful saturators.
- Each based on a sophisticated non-linear and frequency dependent algorithm with memory.
- Pre-selected frequency ranges.
- LOW band: 70-450Hz.
- MID band: 0.8-5kHz.
- AIR band: 3.2-18kHz.
- Two flavors included with different internal gain-staging.
- Black version to mix at rather conservative levels around -18dB RMS.
- Blue version to mix towards hotter target levels.
- Additional analog signal path idiosyncrasies modelled.
- Classic VU style metering as well as loudness unit measurements based on ITU-R BS.1770.
- Mix control for dry/wet mixing and output level control.

Hello. Let's see if someone solves a doubt for me: what exactly does this complement do? If I apply gain to any of the three bands, am I exciting or am I just equalizing? Does this have to do with whether the drive is activated or not? In the drive: what does it do in the zero? what does it do in negative values? and in the positives? Thank you. By the way: the mojo is spectacular. Magnificent.

Put this on your master bus. Just trust me. I'm not kidding. Do it!

This plugin has thaught me two things: 1- compressing only the midrange of the whole mix is an excellent idea. 2- exciters are not a thing of the past, but are very useful tools. What's also important is that Bootsy takes good care about aliasing and his plugins are excellent in this regard. Top stuff!

Nothing else i've tried sounds as organic and natural as this for boosting.
I would happily pay over 50 dollars for this.

This is really good at saving guitar tones : I used it on rhythm guitars on a death metal mix, worked great. Can be interesting on a drum bus, or even on the master stereo bus !

This should work magic with cheap cond. studio mic/voice recording session... esp with mojo... etc. As we all know vos = top quality!
