Jump: A New Dimension of the “Tomato Tone” by Vadim Taranov
Welcome to the world of Jump – a plugin that breathes new life into the legendary “Tomato Tone,” which was once created by the virtuoso Igor Shayev. This VST effect from developer Vadim Taranov not only aims to recreate the famous sound, but also to expand its capabilities, providing musicians and sound producers with a unique tool for shaping their sound.
The “Tomato Tone” gained its fame thanks to its special character and nuances that were only available through a certain hardware configuration. Recreating such a nuanced sound in the digital sphere is not an easy task, requiring a deep understanding of electronics and the sound generation process. The Jump plugin is the result of precisely such painstaking work and an engineering approach.
The Technology Behind It
The secret to reproducing the authentic tone of Jump lies in a meticulous technical process. The developer used the reamping method: a specially prepared DI signal was passed through the original amplifier circuits that formed the “Tomato Tone”. This allowed capturing the reference sound in its original form.
After obtaining the reference material, a computer model was created and configured. The goal was for the model to sound as close as possible to the captured reference, preserving all the warmth, dynamics, and unique harmonics of the original hardware amplifier. This approach guarantees high emulation accuracy.
