Guitar Channel Strip

Controlled Guitar Mayhem Charlie Bauerfeind. 35 Years. One Strip. While others fill rooms with gear, Charlie Bauerfeind fills records with results — three decades of recording legends like Helloween, Blind Guardian, Motörhead, Saxon, and Van Canto will do that to you. Every session. Every gut call on compression, EQ, de-essing and saturation. All of it is now inside this plugin. The Ugritone Guitar Channel Strip is a complete, purpose-built processing chain for metal guitars. Guitars cutting through ice and standing out. Exaggerate your distortion... and then control it! The Chain Seven modules. One signal path. Zero compromise. Preamp → Brutalizer → De-Esser 1 → EQ → De-Esser 2 → Limiter → Dynamic EQ Compression that keeps intelligibility intact without strangling the power. An EQ that sounds musical because it is musical. Two de-essing stages placed exactly where they need to be. A Dynamic EQ handling the mayhem and putting everything in place. The result: a guitar that doesn't hide in the mix. It cuts through it and serves a solid foundation for every metal mix. Your Workflow, Your Rules Easy Mode — load a preset, trust Charlie, get back to recording Full Mode — take the wheel and dial every module to taste Charlie's chain is a blueprint, not a cage. Reorder, bypass or rebuild from scratch — nothing here is cast in iron. Unless you want it to be. Visual feedback across the entire chain. Dry/wet per-module control where it counts.
