AudioThing has turned its emulation eye to vintage tubes, cooking up the appropriately named Valves overdrive plugin. This also features Cabinet/EQ and filter sections, giving you additional tone-honing options.
Valves offers up to 16x oversampling that’s designed to give your tracks an “authentic tube character,” while the Cabinet/EQ section emulates several types of guitar amp. The filter, meanwhile, offers low-pass, high-pass, band-pass and notch modes, and can be used pre- or post-valve. 35 presets are included.
Valves is available now from the AudioThing website priced at €29 (regular price is €59). It runs on PC and Mac in VST/AU/AAX formats, and there’s also a demo.
