FG-73: Bold, Warm Tones for Any Track

Modeled after one of the most revered discrete solid-state preamps in British recording history, the FG-73 delivers bold, present and warm sound. This module captures the essence of a preamp used on countless legendary recordings, offering a rich tonal character that enhances everything from individual instruments to full mixes. Its harmonic coloration adds depth and clarity, while its ability to handle a wide dynamic range makes it a go-to choice for vocals, guitars, drums and more. Whether you're looking to add subtle warmth or drive your signal into harmonic saturation, the FG-73 provides an authentic analog feel that elevates your audio with every use.

FG-76: Vibrant Tube Warmth and Saturation

The FG-76 module emulates a vintage German tube preamp known for its thick, colorful tone. Ideal for bass, kick drums and other low-frequency sources, this model saturates the bottom end with musical warmth while maintaining clarity in the mids and highs. Its unique harmonic profile breathes life into tracks, creating a vibrant and dynamic sound that stands out in any mix. Push the FG-76 harder, and it delivers a rich, tube-driven overdrive that's perfect for adding grit and character. With its unmistakable analog feel, this preamp is a versatile tool for adding depth and texture to your recordings.

Perfect for Clean Preamp Tracks or Mix Enhancements

The Virtual Preamp Collection isn't limited to use with Slate's Virtual Microphone System—it excels with any clean preamp or even as an insert effect in your DAW. Whether you're working on raw vocal tracks, DI instruments, or final mixdowns, these preamps add unmistakable analog coloration and saturation. Subtle adjustments on the FG-73 and FG-76 can bring warmth and clarity to sterile recordings, while more aggressive settings create rich distortion and musical overtones. This makes the plugin a powerful tool for enhancing both individual tracks and full mixes with professional-quality analog tone.

Advanced Analog Modeling for Authentic Sound

Designed with Slate Digital's state-of-the-art analog modeling technology, the Virtual Preamp Collection faithfully captures every detail of the original hardware circuits. From the transient response to the harmonic complexity, each preamp emulates the exact behavior of its analog counterpart. This precise modeling ensures that the plugin delivers the same rich, dynamic tone you'd expect from the physical hardware, without the need for bulky equipment. The result is a versatile, studio-grade preamp emulation that integrates seamlessly into any digital audio workflow, providing warm, analog-style enhancement to any audio source.
