FilkChannel Strip MK2

Kiive Audio’s FilkChannel Strip MK2 is an analog-modeled channel strip plugin inspired by classic 1970s Danner cassette modules. It packs seven modular processors—two preamps, three EQs, and two compressors—into a single strip with drag-and-drop signal chain routing. Pre 1 delivers warm saturation or aggressive distortion, while the new Pre 2 adds two vintage German radio-style saturation modes. EQ I offers parametric bands with HP/LP filters and shelving, EQ II brings inductor-based midrange and transformer tone, and EQ III models a rare German broadcast equalizer. COMP I is an opto-style compressor for punch and attack, and COMP II provides VCA compression with independent compression and limiting. From gentle analog warmth on vocals, acoustic guitar, and mixbus to gritty attitude on drums, bass, and heavy guitars, this channel strip suits hobby producers seeking flexible, characterful tone shaping in any genre.
