Features

Style
The Style selector is your switch between different clipping universes. Choose between 'Analog','Modern', and 'Round' modes to match your desired clipping character. Each setting offers a unique flavor, allowing you to tailor the Zebra Clipper's effect to your specific needs.
Mojo
The Mojo knob is where the magic happens. Give it a twist and add some analog charm to your clipping chain..
Sub-Boost
The Sub-Boost knob is your secret weapon for low-frequency power. Use it to feed some extra low-end content into the clipping process.
Input
The Input knob is your gateway to drive the clipper harder. Crank it up and let the Zebra Clipper really bite into your sound.
Output
The Output knob is your trusty volume control after clipping. Use it to keep your levels in check and maintain balance in your mix.
Over-Sampling
Avoid aliasing and maintain pristine audio quality.
Blend
Controls the mix between the clipped (wet) signal and the original (dry) signal. Turning it up adds more of the processed, saturated tone, while turning it down preserves more of the original dynamics. Perfect for dialing in just the right amount of grit without losing punch.
Auto Gain
Keeps levels even as you crank the input / output knob.
