Iconic Instruments today announced the release of Model 350 Tube Preamp, a new tube preamp plugin based on the most ubiquitous mid-century American studio tube preamp, but with modern features that are designed for mix engineers and studio producers.
Key Features
- Record Level – sets the amount of the unique distortion characteristics of the original unit.
- Effect Filters – built-in High- and Low-Pass filters to exclude specific parts of the signal from the effect to shape the signal.
- Mix – lets you conveniently run the effect in parallel.
- Playback Level – gives you control over the overall volume of the track, post-effect.
Product Overview
The Model 350 Tube Preamp is an accurate software recreation of the most ubiquitous mid-century American studio tube preamp, with added modern features to suit a DAW-based workflow. The Effect Filters allow you exclude the effect below or above the High- and Low-pass filter cutoffs helping you shape the sound to suit your track. There’s also a Mix knob for parallel processing, and a Playback Level that lets you conveniently adjust the overall volume of your track. We built in extra distortion in the Record Level, beyond the original unit’s capability, so you can not only overload on vintage color, but the extra capacity is also useful when using the effect in parallel.
“How close did we get? I actually had two of these units – a pair – for about 15 years. They were my favorite pres. We were able to capture the sound of the original so exactly with the Model 350 Tube Preamp that I sold them. And then we also built in extra features.” – Michael Vecchio, Founder, Iconic Instruments
