The Eventide UltraChannel is a channel strip plug-in, which brings you some of the company's legendary effects in a compact yet intuitive environment, in addition to offering familiar processors such as gain, gate, EQ, and compressor/de-esser. It features a Micro Pitch Shift module with functionality from the H8000FW Ultra-Harmonizer, ideal for widening tracks like guitars, synths, and vocals, a stereo delay module with variable feedback paths, built-in analog soft-saturation and transformer emulation, and the O-Pressor, a simplified version of the original Eventide Omnipressor capable of aggressive compression for adding just the right amount of character to your sound.

The UltraChannel features FlexiPath routing, a flexible modular design that enables you to order the processors based on your desired workflow. The gate, compressor, and O-Pressor modules allow for sidechain operation, which lets you trigger the effects from a selected alternate audio source and color the characteristics of your main signal (AAX and Audio Units only).

The plug-in ships with over 200 presets tailored for guitar, bass, kick drum, snare, piano, strings, synths, and vocals.
