Overview
A studio-quality compressor and preamp emulation, the Pulp N Peel brings smooth, natural dynamics with a touch of vintage warmth. Whether used as a transparent leveler or pushed into harmonic grit, it retains the feel of your playing while enhancing sustain and clarity.
Using advanced modeling, we’ve faithfully recreated the parallel compression circuit and tonal flexibility of the original, now with expanded control in the digital domain.
Introducing, MixWave: JHS Pulp N Peel.
Transparent, musical compression
Designed to balance and enhance without squashing your tone, the Pulp N Peel offers a dynamic, natural feel that keeps your instrument’s character intact—whether you’re playing guitar, bass, or beyond.
Analog warmth with a touch of grit
A built-in Dirt toggle introduces subtle harmonic saturation, adding a vintage-style edge to your signal. The increased headroom and output make it an ideal tone-shaper or clean boost.
Built for modern workflows
Exclusive plugin-only features enhance this compressor for modern workflows. Get instant parallel processing with wet/dry mix controls, and use the input and output filters to high-pass or low-pass before and after the signal.
