American Classic
Inspired by* an API lunch box preamp in a classic studio setup:
• API - 512c Mic Pre
• API - 550b EQ
• Studer - 2-inch tape (Including Emphasis/De-emphasis & tape Soft Clip)
  
  This model gives you classic rock tone that’s focused and a bit compressed through soft distortion. It even includes the treasured tonality and saturation you'd get when recording to classic 24-track analog tape! Good for transients and maintaining a leveled vocal.
  
  Vintage UK
  Inspired by* a Neve 1073
  Warm with mild distortion when pushed. Vintage UK handles transients very well and is great for vocal tracking. Extended bass range also makes it great for direct bass and drum work.
  
  Console
  Solid State Console Mic Pre Design
  Has a flat frequency response that’s clean with no artifacts or colorization. A great choice for tracking line level instruments like a keyboard.
  
  Vintage
  Inspired by* a Classic Vintage Tube Preamp setup consisting of:
• Requisite Y7 Mic Pre
• API - 550b EQ
• Studer - 2-inch tape (Including Emphasis/De-emphasis & tape Soft Clip)
  
  This model yields vintage Motown, Memphis, Nashville, and early rock sounds.
  
  Lo-Fi
  Has a small speaker sound that’s slightly distorted. Great for adding an overdriven vocal to a track.
