HPS PEN LICENCE

HPS Pen Licence: Prove Your Skills and Unlock the F1 Rigs

Wasabi has been a long-time advocate of a pen licence for the F1 systems. Remember school? You used a pencil until around grade three, then earned the right to write in pen — but only after passing your pen licence exam. The HPF1 pen licence follows that same idea.

What an HPF1 Pen Licence Gives You

  • You gain the trust and respect of our systems technicians.
  • The program compressor and limiter are bypassed for your use.
  • The system is opened up by 6dB.
