The Overstayer M-A-S was designed to be an analog ‘more’ control. More color, more harmonics, more tone. It gives you the harmonic character and peak rounding of classic recording and mixing chains in a simple, highly controllable rack-mount unit.

The limiting nature of the M-A-S stages rounds and bends peaks resulting in increased apparent volume, without the timing artifacts associated with compression. Its integrated pushbutton High and Low EQ presets, High Pass Filter and Emphasis circuits help further shape the harmonic content of source material. Rotary switch controls for Mix and Output make settings easy to recall.

Use it on the individual tracks for cumulative (console to tape like) benefits. The M-A-S can add consistency as peaks and harsh transients get smoothed and absorbed into the performance, making balancing tracks in the mix easier, and lessening the need for bus limiting down the line. Used on a full mix, the added harmonic content can energize, and add cohesiveness and detail. The Mix control allows the character to be balanced to taste.

Bring harmonics and tone to your bass, synths, drum machines and samplers with the integrated front panel high impedance input.

: Great finishing box.. easy to use.. subtle to extreme harmonic enhancement.
By Morningstar S on January 19, 2021
: I love using this on the front end while tracking and on my 2 bus when mixing. I highly recommend it!
By Rob C on October 23, 2020
: This unit adds a nice subtle saturation to a mix. You can also push it for more harmonic saturation and compressed signal. I enjoy add this on the end of my mix bus signal chain.

: Absolutely delicious! Great for direct tracking bass guitar, a no brainer, but very useful on individual tracks or mix bus for subtle but very effective saturation/
By Dave P on January 19, 2020
: I was told this box was like tape in a box. I've never really used tape but I've heard it. This thing has THAT sound. I run almost all my tracks and mixes through it.
