HEAT is a tube-driven harmonic enhancer and saturator plugin that brings analog warmth, bite, and color to any sound source.
HEAT is the perfect tool for adding controlled distortion, drive, and energy to otherwise sterile digital recordings. With three selectable tube bias modes, adjustable drive, tone, and output controls, it gives users full command over the harmonic balance and saturation character.
From subtle analog glue on the mix bus to bold tube-style crunch on guitars or drums, HEAT adds that elusive sense of depth and movement that only real tubes can provide. The plugin responds dynamically to signal level, making it equally suited for mastering or creative sound design.
History
Inspired by decades of tube design evolution, HEAT draws from the circuits of some of the most beloved studio preamps and amplifiers, merging them into a single flexible modern processor. Developed by Antelope Audio’s analog modeling team, it encapsulates the experience of recording through vintage tube gear—without the maintenance or unpredictability.
