Topology
Discrete Transistor Design
Bring the unmistakable sheen of a classic American console to your signal chain with EDYN Pre, a discrete transistor preamp model known for its bold presence, fast transients, and deep low-end authority. This topology adds harmonic richness and analog weight, ideal for vocals, drums, and anything that needs to sit confidently in a mix.
- Discrete Transistor — Classic American console topology
- Fast Transients — Punchy response with analog character
- Harmonic Richness — Adds weight and presence to any source
What It Sounds Like
Bold and Punchy — brings forward midrange clarity and dynamic impact, perfect for cutting through a mix. Retains detail while giving drums and vocals a focused, lively snap with smooth transient handling.
- Bold and Punchy — Forward midrange clarity and dynamic impact
- Smooth Transient Handling — Focused, lively snap on drums and vocals
- Analog Weight — Density and warmth on guitars, vocals, and synths
- Effortless Presence — Mix-ready finish, no harsh edges or EQ needed
Ultra-X Mode
Up to 192kHz models that minimize aliasing and have a higher frequency response. The incoming audio is oversampled to run the Ultra X Models — requiring more CPU for superior quality, closest to the original source.
- NM2 Neural Technology
- 192kHz Ultra-High Resolution
- Superior Quality Closest to Original

Guitars & Keys
Brings analog grit and texture, making parts stand out in the mix with harmonic richness.
Bass & Synths
Lends body and harmonic weight without muddying low frequencies. Deep, controlled low-end.
Live Instruments
Captures energy and detail with warmth and retro studio mojo. Vintage character on every source.
Mix Bus
Adds analog weight and cohesion across your entire mix. Subtle drive for glue and presence.
Features & Controls
This is the input gain of the pre-amp, use for subtle or hard saturation / compression and crunch.
Adjust the output of the pre-amp after driving the signal from the drive knob.
This enables the Auto-Gain compensation calculation. If you increase the drive value, this ensures that little or no adjustment is needed to trim the output from the pre-amp.
This loads an overdrive model where the pre-amp can be pushed to its far limits. This mode is more suitable where you need heavy distortion like guitars or drums etc.
This button flips the phase of the signal, like the original hardware unit. A neat trick is to use this and then blend the dry signal in for some crazy effects!
Switch between 50 ohms and 200 ohms impedance models. These both have distinct characteristics and this mode was designed for the pre-amp to match different microphones.
Fine-tune your signal with precise Input and Output Trims, plus smooth High Pass and Low Pass Filters to shape the tone and control unwanted frequencies.
Testimonials
It makes my ears grin with joy like a little kid. I finally understand why so many of my favorite artists from back in the day just made my soul feel enriched! The fact you could algorithmically captured the engineering behind one of the greatest hardware tools ever devised for recording boggles the mind!
This reminds me of one of those little secret weapon plugins. Simple but well thought out, and sounds great Thanks!
Just got it and tried it out on my guitar... it sounds incredible! Thank you!
Really I appreciate It's great too on vocals
Very Cool ! Love What it does for Bass!
Sounds excellent!
