    EVOLUTION OF A MODERN CLASSIC

    We began with our proven Silver Bullet design trusted by thousands of artists and working professionals. Then we expanded its existing capabilities and added some new tricks we think you are going to love. This is the same Silver Bullet, only evolved.

    MODES AND MOJO

    Process your 2-bus, individual tracks, or microphone sources through cascading combinations of three analog Mojo Amps:

    A: American console

    N: British console

    C: Custom Mojo Modules / Colour Modules via internal expansion slots

    Simple GAIN and OUTPUT controls allow you to gain stage the A and N Mojo Amps into the sweet spot. C-DRV and C-MIX controls allow you to intuitively control the amount of drive for Mojo Amp C, and blend the dry and processed signals.

    TONE SHAPING

    The 3-band Baxandall EQ has a Pultec inspired low end and a smooth and expensive sounding top end that stands in a class with the most renowned mastering EQs. The beloved AIR circuit from the original Silver Bullet now has its own dedicated control. The original LF and HF frequency settings have been expanded to a total of 4 frequencies per band.

    Tighten up the extreme bottom end with the TIGHT filter. The slightly resonant and tape-like 25 Hz setting excels on mixes, while the new 50 Hz filter is optimized for tracking individual instruments.

    Smooth out digital top end with the silky VINTAGE mode inspired by legendary 1970’s British consoles.

    STEREO IMAGE ENHANCEMENT

    ASPECT RATIO is a new analog processor that musically enhances the stereo width, height, and clarity of your mix. This isn't one of those cheap sounding, phasey widening effects that leaves you wondering if you are messing up your soundstage or balance. ASPECT RATIO delivers masterful results at the touch of a single button. No fussy tweaking or second guessing required. We spent the last year perfecting this circuit so you can get on with perfecting your mix.

    SIMPLE YET POWERFUL

    No overly hyped superlatives or flowery language required. The Silver Bullet mk2 is a results-oriented processor with a simple and intuitive interface. If you can operate a guitar amp then the controls will feel very familiar. We designed this box to always give you amazing tone, so you focus on creating the music, and not fiddling with the knobs.

    NERDY DETAILS

    ANALOG EXPLANSION SLOT

    A dual-interface expansion slot allows for tonal exploration. The Silver Bullet mk2 comes pre-installed with the optional Mojo Module you select. You can populate the stereo module slot or the two mono analog plugin slots (one per channel) to build your dream signal path. Configure your Silver Bullet mk2 with tape/transformer saturation, compressor, EQ, or even tube modules. 

    Install one of our new stereo Mojo Modules like Hitmaker Comp, Fairi-Mu, or TAPE•79 or choose from our growing list of Colour module options to customize your Silver Bullet mk2.

    The new stereo C Mojo Amp interface supports a high voltage power rail, and compressor gain reduction indication. This means you can expect some sonically rich tube and compressor modules from both us and our favorite partner brands in the near future. You can also install any of the Colour modules from 3rd party manufacturers.

    This is a platform that adapts to the needs of your studio.

    Customize in minutes: disconnect power, remove the cover, install the analog expansion modules of your choice, and power back on.

    BALANCED I/O & INSERTS

    To streamline your hybrid workflow there are dedicated Mic, Track, and Mix inputs that feed the separate Track and Mix outputs. Each channel also features fully balanced insert Send and Return jacks than can be switched into the signal path from the front panel. Automatic insert bypass modes streamline your workflow and are enabled by default, but can be manually overridden.

    HYPERMATTER POWERED

    Silver Bullet mk2 features our new Hypermatter Power Supply.  We spent the last couple years developing a state-of-the-art power supply truly fit for the demands of high-resolution audio.  The goal was simple: to create a superior power delivery system whose noise, voltage regulation, and transient response performance is unparalleled.  Since an audio circuit is only as good as its power supply, every component choice was scrutinized to render dynamic sound with revealing detail, dimension, and gut-punching authority.  These choices were also made with reverence to the sonic vibe established by the original Silver Bullet.  The Hypermatter PSU architecture uses an external switch mode power supply (SMPS) in conjunction with an internal regulation and filter module.  The internal Hypermatter PCB assembly uses cutting edge LDO regulators, and nothing but the best components to bring Silver Bullet mk2 to life in ways that must be heard.  Your music has never felt more alive.

    PREMIUM COMPONENTS & BUILD QUALITY

    We chose every component in Silver Bullet mk2 by ear for maximum mojo and sonic synergy with the rest of the circuit.  Our meticulous development process involved both empirical measurement and real-world studio use to validate the design.  We also leveraged what we learned designing and building the original Silver Bullet and Chroma+.  In this design you will find high end parts from Nichicon, Panasonic, Vishay, Susumu, Wima, TI, and Analog Devices.  All audio path resistors are 0.5% or 0.1% thin film types for low distortion and noise.  Silver Bullet mk2 also features custom American wound transformers and our very own ROGUE FIVE discrete op amps.  Our PCBs use high temperature Tg 170 material for long-term reliability.  The modular nature of the PCB design facilitates remote troubleshooting and easy user servicing. The entire assembly is RoHS compliant (lead free).  All final assembly and testing is performed in the by our team of audio nerds at Rogue Planet Command.
