Trouble-free installation.
VST only.
No manual but not more complicated rgler a preamp!
4 rglages: drive (gain), tube (deuxime gain, redundant), bias (CONTRL harmonics), winning out.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Little CPU intensive.

OVERALL OPINION

Tubeamp is a saturator that acts like a vacuum tube.

I use it for 6 months. This is a killer with no name. In my humble opinion, in the plugins CATEGORY "rchauffeurs" is the best.

Let me explain:

1. It is a freeware. Whereas advantage over competitors who grsillent for € 200.

2. It is unknown, or virtually (for now ...). Besides, I'm tonn be the first to post a notice.

3. The sound is very enjoyable, thanks to progressive waveshaping trs and SETTING THE asymtrie (paramtre "bias").
With Tubeamp, no bees, no grsillement, no crtage wild!
A 0% bias, the saturation is symtrique, odd harmonics are gnres, 100%, only even harmonics are gnres thanks saturation asymtrique ; between the two, well it's a bit of both.
Harmonics are always low-order (2, 3, 4). The harmonics appear only when levs Exceeds 24 dB of gain so (...) There's room for her to choose a very gentle and very dense!

The designer prconise use during mastering. For my part, I find it much more INTERESTED Tubeamp use as an insert for mixing.
The voices recorded with a microphone and preamp are magnified a little steep (100% bias), the snare s'panouissent, tablecloths s'paississent. It's simple: Now, I go all in Tubeamp!
All in the rglage of bias that must be chosen according to the source. Some delight with the even harmonics, with the other odd.
Ms. hair gain (like 6-9dB, the drive is progressive trs) gives a feeling of taking too Scheer.

In fact, what distinguishes Tubeamp all other plugins censs mulate vacuum tubes is that it is crdible, useful and above all beautiful. Competitors are trsdcevants.

This little tool is a me. It Ragit diffrent to diffrent frequencies. It does compress a portion of his; pass a threshold, it plutt broaden the dynamic trend. It sometimes takes me by surprise by releasing a patch totally unexpected.

In short, for those who do not possdent prampli tube with variable bias (I do not think there is a plugin ...), this is the masked avenger.
For those who do not have pramp tube is a bndiction.
