Explore the possibilities of 73 JR Preamp.
The plugin brings a stepped gain approach and transformer-inspired coloration into software. A variable high-pass filter and blend control provide ways to manage the result without adding another parallel route. Assess it as a tone-shaping stage, while keeping a clean reference available for level-matched comparisons.
