Joe Chiccarelli

Rock & Roll with Joe Chiccarelli

After going through the process successfully with the late Al Schmitt, Leapwing found theirrselves another challenge, as Joe uses much more processing to get his signature sound. They had to research and analyze even more pieces of gear, from EQs, pre-amps to compressors, distortion units, reverbs, and several other effects. Then they used the outcomes of the research and analysis to create distinctive features that define his unique sound.

The Joe Chiccarelli signature plugin has 11 distinct profiles: kick, snare, toms, drum overhead, drum room, bass di, bass amp, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, electric piano, and lead vocal. Each profile has a set of parameters controlling drive, EQs, compression, parallel compression, and effects. Distilled to the right amount of control, conceived to get your sound instantly.
