Shattered Glass Audio releases SGA1566 - Free Tube Preamp Plug-in Powered by Analog-Circuit Simulation for Mac & Win VST & AU
Shattered Glass Audio has released SGA1566, a free plug-in for Mac OS X and Windows in AU and VST plug-in formats.
SGA1566 is designed to deliver the sonic beauty of a two stage, all tube, preamp using circuit simulation technology. SGA1566 is loosely based on a single channel vintage tube preamplifier. To achieve the most authentic analog sound, the whole circuit is simulated in real time using the high performance circuit simulator. This level of sound fidelity comes at a price of high CPU utilization. For cases where such a CPU hit is prohibitive, SGA have added a model that is significantly less CPU intensive but only slightly less accurate than the circuit simulation.
Use SGA1566 preamp to add warmth to a track, as a saturation compressor, or to add "dirt" with tube overdrive.
Features:
- Authentic analog sound through real-time high-performance circuit simulation.
- Preamp featuring two 12AX7 voltage amplification stages.
- CPU friendly model of the circuit.
- Two-band active Baxandall EQ that can be placed either at the beginning or at the end of the signal chain.
- Up to 4x oversampling.
- Mono or stereo processing mode.
Price: Free.
