Pocket Hiss
Pocket Hiss by PockeTone โ Daniel Yuck One-Knob Sibilance Texture from the Vinyl Collection
Pocket Hiss By PockeTone - Daniel Yuck
Pocket Hiss โ Spark Static Energy From the PockeTone Vinyl Collection
Pocket Hiss is your new favorite top-end flare.
๐ฑ How to Think of It in a Session
Pocket Hiss adds musical, high-end sizzle and stereo air โ not cheap white noise or lo-fi texture, but a controlled static presence that flutters and blooms with your audio. Reach for it when your track needs a little "Ssssssโฆ" on the top shelf, like electricity in a radio or a hot needle skating on dust.
Use it to:
- Add vocal shimmer
- Bring stereo air to sterile instruments
- Emulate old radio hiss with taste
- Give your mix presence without EQ
๐จ Personality
Pocket Hiss is a live wire โ always buzzing, always sparking, always ready to arc. Heโs the wildcard in the Vinyl Gang, built from tangled antennae and fried speaker coils. Twitchy but tasteful, he adds hiss with character โ not just noise, but intelligent static.
He's the guy who wonโt stop vibrating in his seat. Half radio DJ, half lightning storm. Built from busted tweeters and dying cables. You never notice him... until you mute him.
๐ง What It Does Sonically
At 0%, heโs silent. But as you twist the knob clockwise:
- Pink noise gives you warmth
- Blue and violet tones add shine and sparkle
- The internal S-curve shapes the tone and tail
- Stereo jitter adds width
- Dual filters peak the hiss in the 8kโ12kHz sweet spot
The result: airy, musical hiss that follows your signal energy and dynamically shapes itself to breathe with your track. Itโs not a blanket of static โ itโs performance-reactive fizz.
๐ How It Fits into the Vinyl Gang
Pocket Hiss rides shotgun with Pocket Vinyl and Pocket Crackle.
- Vinyl gives the warmth
- Crackle adds the texture
- Hiss brings the sparkle
Heโs the final seasoning that makes the whole gang sit right in the mix. Like reverb for your top end โ barely noticed until itโs gone.
