What would Joe Chiccarelli do? The second plugin in the Leapwing Signature Series was developed with producer/engineer and ten-time Grammy and Latin Grammy winner Joe Chiccarelli. Compared to the first plug-in in the Leapwing series with Al Schmitt, Joe uses a more varied and numerous pieces of outboard gear and Leapwing had to analyze many EQs, pre-amps, compressors, distortion units, reverbs, and other effects.
The Joe Chiccarelli plug-in has 11 distinct profiles for treating: kicks, snares, toms, drum overheads, drum room, bass DI, bass amp, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, electric piano, and lead vocals. Each profile has its own set of processors in chains Joe would use on those instruments and vocals. All profiles have a Drive control for adding harmonic coloration based upon the particular instrument or vocal.
Based on the profile selected, there are three different, emulated EQs used: API 560 10-band graphic, a 4-band, proportional Q, API 550B program EQ, and a Pultec EQP1A. Compression and limiting also varies greatly between profiles with different kinds of compressors from models of LA-2A and LA-3A optical to UA 1176LN F.E.T. to dbx 160x VCA processors.
The Leapwing Joe Chiccarelli Plug-in is an all-in-one processor with many uses beyond the listed profiles. Leapwing Audio's Joe Chiccarelli Plug-in is available as 64-bit plugins in VST3, AAX, and AU formats for macOS 10.10 and higher and Windows 8 and 10. It retails for $159 MSRP.
