Product Overview
Real Tubes, Digital Convenience
The FreqTube FT1 bridges the gap between hardware enthusiasts and "in-the-box" producers. Unlike digital emulations, the FT1 uses physical analog components to process your audio. The hardware is controlled entirely through a software interface, meaning every knob movement can be automated and every setting is saved within your project, ensuring 100% accurate recall every time you open your session.
Product Description
Multi-Instance Processing:
The FT1 is not limited to a single mono or stereo track. It can run multiple instances across your mix. You can use two tubes for a warm stereo master bus while using the remaining two for grit on a vocal track or saturation on a drum bus. The intelligent internal routing manages the signal flow, allowing the hardware to act like a powerful DSP card, but with real analog glass.
Customizable Analog Path:
Each instance within the plugin gives you surgical control over the analog circuit. You can adjust the Drive to move from subtle warmth to aggressive distortion, use the Parallel Mix for blending processed and dry signals, and shape the tone with the internal analog filters. The hardware also features a high-contrast OLED display that shows real-time parameters and metering.
Studio-Grade Conversion:
To ensure no loss of detail during the round-trip from digital to analog, the FT1 utilizes high-performance ESS converters. Supporting sample rates up to 192kHz, the conversion is transparent and phase-accurate, ensuring that the only thing added to your audio is the rich, harmonic character of the vacuum tubes.
Key Features
Four Real Vacuum Tubes: Equipped with high-quality ECC83/12AX7 tubes for authentic analog saturation.
Full DAW Integration: Works as a standard plugin (VST, AU, AAX) with Total Recall.
