It adds amazing life and clarity to any sound source. It can make lesser sound systems sound good and the best audio systems sound even better. Having such a big impact on live and recorded sound, it spawned a whole breed of pretenders that have been named "enhancers", "maximizers" or just plain "exciters". None have ever equalled the patented Aphex Aural Exciter. The Aphex patented Big Bottom further extends the sound by adding warmth and low-end body. It expands and volumizes the bass region without overloading speakers or amps. It makes small rigs sound bigger and can give bigger rigs real thunder. Countless recordings and live events owe part of their success to the Aphex Aural Exciter and Big Bottom. Once available only as rack mounted studio gear, the latest advancements are now available in these specially designed music instrument processors. You get studio quality effects in a convenient package, and at an affordable price. The Jfeiters are voiced for three classes of music instruments - acoustic, bass, and guitar. They share everything in common - all features, controls, etc. - except specific differences in tonality that best complement each class of instrument.
