Hendyamps | Maor Appelbaum The Oven – EQ / Vibe / Coloration / Mojo Box w/ Tonal Shaping Options

OVERVIEW

When Maor Appelbaum joined forces with Hendyamps, something truly special was “cooked up.” The result – The Oven – is a versatile analog tone-shaping powerhouse that brings color, warmth, and character to your sound. Unlike traditional EQs, The Oven is all about vibe and feel, infusing your mixes with mojo, depth, and dimension that you can literally hear and feel.

From adding gentle harmonic richness to your mix buss to driving instruments into sizzling saturation, The Oven gives you a wide tonal palette through controls like COOK, TEMP, and BURN, along with creative modes such as BAKE/BROIL and ELEC/GAS. Whether used on individual tracks, stems, or mastering chains, it’s a musical processor that rewards subtlety yet thrives under pressure.

With its fully hand-wired design, transformer-balanced I/O, and meticulously tuned tube and MOSFET circuits, The Oven is both a technical marvel and an artistic instrument. It even includes a personal masterclass with Maor Appelbaum, ensuring you’ll master every nuance of this analog masterpiece.
