freqportFreqTube FT-1
4-Channel Tube Processor with plug-in integration
Analog Sounds, Digital Comfort
For the first time ever, the FreqTube FT1 combines the stunning sound of real tube amps with the convenience of digital connectivity in an easy-to-use, portable solution that adds an analog touch to your productions. Analog processors are popular, but they often require complicated setups that complicate your workflow and make it difficult to get going when the creative iron is hot. FreqTube solves this problem by giving you full control over its four real analog vacuum tubes via a simple USB connection. You'll never have to choose between convenience and quality again.
Modern VST control and DAW integration
The FreqTube gives you hands-on control with its eight knobs and bright, responsive color display. Of course, you can also use the included VST to control (and automate) all of the knobs' parameters. Once you find a sound you like, you can save it as a preset for instant access. For the first time in history, you get the stunning sound of real tube saturation with the convenience and recall of digital control.
Hassle-Free, Mastering-Grade Analog Color
Saturation, warmth, drive, harmonics, distortion... whatever you want to call it, the FreqTube FT1 adds real analog tube sound to your digital productions via a simple USB connection. With FreqTube's four vacuum tubes and eight multimode hardware filters, you can process any sound you want and control it with the included proprietary VST interface.
Digital Control of the Analog Mojo
There are a plethora of plug-ins that emulate analog processing with varying degrees of success. Why emulate when you can have the real thing? The FT1 offers real analog drive and color with the convenience of a VST. Plug FreqTube into your computer, load the Control VST into your DAW, and you have instant, on-demand, low-latency control over a wide range of analog sounds, from subtle to wild... all with the ease of use you'd expect from a digital plug-in! Because the FT1 uses two sets of tubes, you get two levels of gain per channel with full attenuation for the ultimate in sound shaping. You can even process two stereo signals or up to four mono signals simultaneously.
There's something for everyone
The FreqTube is not a boring distortion pedal. It's a colorful box with a wide range of tonal possibilities for creative musicians, demanding engineers, and world-class producers. Warm up your vocals to push the mix. Take that 808 kick way past overdrive and into industrial doom. Or just sprinkle some analog harmonics over your pad sounds. FreqTube doesn't care if you're making acid house or bluegrass, it just wants you to sound your best.
Fully automated
Automate all analog controls along with the audio through the plug-in. Enjoy automatic, overtone-friendly gain compensation that keeps levels consistent as you adjust saturation. Ditch your MIDI patchbay, CV converters, daisy chains and complicated routing.
