Product Description

These were made by miking 6 different tube radios from the 1950’s. You might think it seems weird to make effects from tube radios, but forget about that- you should really think of these programs as distortion and tone sculpting power tools, with a lot of the familiar sound of miked speaker cabs.

After the major ‘Revamped’ update, you can now crank these programs into overdrive, and each one offers a wide variety of tons and distortions you can use as a tool in your mixes! The update allows you to use each of the three main elements of these programs separately, or together in any combination, in any order, however you want. These elements include- the tone (miked speakers from tube radios), the distortion, and the compression (mainly from the tubes being saturated).

For example you could even use parallel processing on a duplicate of a track in your DAW to generate and only take distortion from the program, completely muting the fundamental part of the sound. The result is that you have the original dry track, and a duplicate track being processed in a way where the only output is distortion. Now you could process that distortion separately in different ways, like apply chorus to it. Then you have an effect where only the distortion is being chorused, or reverbed, or whatever other effect you’d like to apply, only to the distortion. The sky (and your imagination) is the limit.

Here are some videos. The first one (electric guitar) shows how smooth the distortion and tone can be.

This one shows how the distortion and compression can be used to make drums (or just about anything) slightly enhanced, crunchy, or outright destroyed.

This last one shows what used to be the main feature of this release, the normal usage as tone programs with only subtle distortion, giving a very miked up speaker, and usually lo-fi sound.

Check out the manual for more information about how these programs can be used, details about the variety of results you can find, and how they were made.

If you own the old version of this release (before it was called ‘Revamped’), you can upgrade to this new one for a small fee. Contact me if you’re interested.
