ILIO, leading distributor of virtual instruments and audio software, together with Overloud, creators of the acclaimed Gem Series, has announced the release of Gem Fuse.

This new plugin combines six analogue-style processors into one streamlined tool, faithfully emulating a modern stereo outboard unit with remarkable authenticity.

Analog Character, Digital Precision

Designed for mix bus and mastering duties, Gem Fuse delivers the tonal colour, weight, and cohesion that define high-end analogue gear. At its core is Overloud’s Harmonic Matching Technology, which captures the frequency-dependent harmonics and “memory effect” of transformer-based circuits—areas where traditional digital emulations often fall short.

Fuse

Six Processors, One Plugin

  • Analog Preamp & HPF – Adds subtle warmth with a low-cut “Fat” option for deep bass retention.
  • Analog Drive – Harmonic saturation and gentle compression, from smooth thickness to aggressive tone.
  • Indigo EQ – Musical low and high shelving EQ with finely tuned phase response.
  • HF Smoother – High-frequency dynamics control for tape-like smoothness.
  • Stereo Image – Frequency-dependent enhancement based on “Stereo Shuffling” techniques.
  • Transformer – Authentic low-end weight and high-end sparkle.

Beyond the Hardware

Fuse goes further than the original analog design with modern workflow features:

  • Resizable interface
  • Built-in Mid-Side matrix
  • Internal operating level calibration
  • Multilevel undo/redo
  • Extended parameter control for deeper flexibility

Whether placed across a mix bus or applied during mastering, Gem Fuse adds finishing character and cohesion, transforming a mix into a polished record.

Pricing & Availability

Gem Fuse is available now at an introductory price of $69 (regular $119).

With its blend of authentic analogue modelling and modern convenience, Fuse continues Overloud’s Gem Series tradition of delivering hardware-level sound in a flexible software format.
