David's 2bus takes inspiration from David Gnozzi’s famous 2bus processing.

David is well known for his analog collection and the skills to use it and over the years he developed a quite muscular chain of analog pieces that he found worked the best in a specific combination and with specific settings.

We developed the plugin by capturing his chain and removed the guesswork by giving the user a very friendly interface with a few key controls that do a lot of things under the hood.

The processor was ear-tuned by our team and David himself. David’s 2Bus is a combination of tape saturation, transformers and different stereo effects all in one.

Designed primarily as a 2bus processor, is meant to be used as a first instance on your mixbus: hitting it at the right level is key for this plugin. The two green LED in the metering are not there by chance.

Operation is simple: Use the input and output knobs to make sure you hit the right level and get the right amount of tape saturation, bump, and transient control. Then, dial in transformer enhancement with the Texture knob and the two different flavors A and B. Finally,finish it off with a little stereo manipulation. Follow up with your favorite compressor and you’re good go to!

While originally conceived as a master-bus processor, the plugin doesn’t stop there. Engineers around the world are using this “off label”, applying much more aggressive settings and extreme stereo effects to single tracks and groups. From vocals to guitars this plugin is as much a creative tool for modern mixing as it is a subtle processing for your entire mix.

“When something is sounding flat and boring, but dramatic effects are too much, David’s 2Bus helps me add a touch of excitement everytime!”

BTS, Michael Jackson, Timbaland, Lupe Fiasco

“What a magical plugin! Not only is it brilliant on a mix bus, but it’s become a go-to tool for enhancing many different parts of a mix. In particular I love it on guitar groups, synths and basses. I love a tool that’s subtle and easy to use; the UI helps you stay in a creative headspace.”

“Wow. I’m over the moon with David’s 2Bus. When used on masters, it sounds great with a wide array of signal levels, and a tiny bit of width couples with the mild saturation in a very euphonic way.

With gain staging tweaks within the plugin itself, there are myriad configurations to explore, making it very, very fun to use...

Watch those meters and have fun!”

- Brad Boatright
Stranger Things, Obituary, and Monolord

“David’s 2bus has become one of my favorite tools for getting mix elements out of the center while retaining their character. The width section alone is worth the price of admission.”
