These aren’t single-source presets. Every “one-shot” in Analog Crate is a compound patch—multiple hand-programmed voices stacked into one evolving tone. I blend a combination of my 1-of-1 custom Fender Strat, a hardware ASM Hydrasynth (custom, hand-crafted patches), Chase Bliss Thermae/Blooper, Red Panda Tensor, a JOYO American, and other true analog synths—layered, phase-aligned, and resampled until each hit feels larger-than-life.

The result is movement baked in: width, harmonics, and micro-modulation that breathe before you add a single plugin. Not a typical stock patch—boutique, hardware DNA with the depth of several instruments living inside one key. It’s sound design you can feel on the first note.

You might be wondering why I'd tell you exactly what I'm using to create my one-shots. That's because regardless of what I spill, nobody will create patches that sound like mine.
