Freqport Freqtube FT1 Quad Analog Tubes Multi-Instance Hardware Plugin
Home / Freqport Freqtube FT1 Quad Analog Tubes Multi-Instance Hardware Plugin
Product Overview
Real Analog Glass, Digital Control
The FreqTube FT1 is designed for producers who want the "real deal" analog sound without the workflow hurdles of traditional hardware. Unlike digital emulations, the FT1 uses physical vacuum tubes to process your audio. Because the hardware is controlled via a software interface, every parameter can be automated, and settings are saved directly within your DAW project, ensuring perfect recall every time you reopen a session.
Product Description
Multi-Instance Processing Power:
The FT1 is uniquely capable of running multiple instances across different tracks in your mix. You can assign two tubes to a stereo master bus for "glue" and warmth while using the remaining two tubes to add grit to a vocal or saturation to a drum bus. The intelligent internal matrix manages the signal flow, allowing the hardware to function like an analog DSP card.
Customizable Analog Path:
Each plugin instance gives you surgical control over the analog circuit. You can push the Drive to move from subtle harmonic enhancement to aggressive tube distortion, use the Parallel Mix knob for dry/wet blending, and shape the tone using the internal analog filters. The unit also features a high-contrast OLED display that provides real-time visual feedback on tube parameters and metering.
Studio-Grade Conversion:
To preserve the integrity of your audio, the FT1 utilizes ultra-transparent ESS converters. Supporting sample rates up to 192kHz, the conversion is phase-accurate and detailed, ensuring that the only coloration added to your sound is the rich, musical saturation of the ECC83 tubes.
Key Features
Four Real Vacuum Tubes: Features high-quality ECC83/12AX7 tubes for authentic analog saturation.
Full DAW Integration: Works as a standard plugin (VST3, AU, AAX) with Total Recall.
