Preamp Plugins
Tube, tape and broadcast character in one insert.
Preamps add weight, edge and color before anything else touches the signal. We have tube preamps with strong opinions, a Class A tape-preamp character, a broadcast preamp, and Anaheim, a tube mic preamp with Vari-Mu compression and an EQ in one insert.
Fifth Order is free, so it is a good place to start.
