Product information

Vintage Tube Overdrive

Valves is a vintage valve emulation plugin with multimode resonant filter and cabinet/EQ section.

The valve section is modelled after classic vintage tubes, with added grit and custom gain control.

The filter section is modelled after a classic ladder filter (2-pole or 4-pole) with low pass, high pass, bandpass and notch modes.

The cabinet/EQ section features a selection of modelled cabinets with classic bass and treble EQ controls.

Warm-Up

With up to 16x oversampling, Valves can be used to add that authentic tube character to your tracks.

Using the built-in Cabinet/EQ section you can emulate several types of guitar amplifiers and further shape the overdrive sound.

The state variable filter features LowPass, HighPass, BandPass, and Notch modes. It can be used pre or post-valve.

Users generally praise this plugin as an easy-to-use and flexible saturation and valve distortion tool that effectively warms up audio. It performs especially well on drums, guitars, and vocals with a distinct character of its own.
