MORG Germ Italiano 75

The MORG Germ Italiano 75 is an authentic capture of a rare vintage 3-band equalizer and preamp driven by classic germanium-transistor circuitry. Designed with a mastering-grade, fully stepped control layout, the plugin captures the unmistakable harmonic texture, dense low-end weight, and vintage coloration unique to germanium designs. With fixed low and high frequency response curves and a selectable presence bell band, it preserves the raw character of two distinct commercial studio hardware units without smoothed responses.

Features

• Germanium Transistor Sound: Recreates the distinctive nonlinear saturation, transient rounding, and tone of vintage germanium electronics.
• Mastering-Grade Stepped EQ: Faithful 12-step low shelf (BASSI, -20 to +15 dB), high shelf (ALTI, -24 to +15 dB), and boost-only presence band (PRESENZA, 0 to +8 dB).
• 5-Frequency Presence Band: Dedicated midrange bell filter selectable at 0.7 kHz, 1 kHz, 1.5 kHz, 2.3 kHz, and 3.5 kHz.
• Hardware Stepped or Continuous Operation: Default stepped knob behavior reflects physical hardware detents, with a toggleable STEP mode allowing continuous variable adjustment.
• Dual Module Captures & Stereo Pairing: Choose between hardware Unit #1 and #2, or engage PAIR to run a true dual-unit stereo configuration.
• Drive & Saturation Staging: Features level-compensated DRIVE for adjusting harmonic depth without volume jumps, paired with an optional SAT mode for hard-driven germanium fuzz and bite.
• Workflow Flexibility: Independent EQ bypass (retaining preamp coloration), phase inversion, and Full/Lite quality modes for session scalability.
