Another Free Plug-in! We are featuring VPRE-72 from Fuse Audio Labs, a free emulation of a vintage 1950s tube preamp.

What Is VPRE-72?

The preamp which inspired VPRE72 was released in the early 1950s and built by several iconic brands such as Maihak, TAB, Siemens and TFK. A legend in itself to the present day, the V72 also became the blueprint for the later V76 and the classic REDD.47 preamps used on numerous Beatles sessions.

The VPRE-72 catches the exact spirit with a faithful emulation of the input and output transformers, the dual EF804s pentode circuit with its peculiar feedback structure, as well as the heavy output choke which produces a subtle touch of air.

The VPRE-72 is as straight forward as it gets: Use the Drive control to apply as much tube circuit as your signal needs, or even push it a little further for some gentle and truly musical saturation. No matter how far you go, the gain is always compensated, and the added V76-style low and high cut filters let you shape the results to your liking in no time at all.
