In this week's Friday Free Plug-in, we are featuring Code Red Free. An emulation of the EMI valve console made famous by the Beatles.

Unusual EQ And Soft Distortion

Don't let the UI put you off, having tried this in some sessions we have found it to have a simple but characterful EQ and it breaks into distortion easily but with a warm tone without any hint of crackle.

Pop And Classic EQ Modules

The original had two alternative EQ modules which could be swapped out. The sharp-eyed will spot that the LF shelf's corner frequency is far higher than we are used to today and the HF shelf's corner frequency is lower than the (very high) mid band filter!

EQ - Classic

• LF - Shelf @500Hz
• MF - Bell @ 5kHz
• HF - Shelf @ 7kHz

EQ - Pop

• LF - Shelf @500Hz
• MF - Bell @ 5kHz
• HF - Shelf @ 3kHz
