The AE011 Channel Strip Package includes 5 models that employ VCM
(Virtual Circuitry Modeling) technology to recreate the sound and
characteristics of several classic compression and EQ units from the
70's. Not only do these models faithfully capture the unique
saturation of analog circuitry — in part thanks to precise modeling
of the original FET gain reduction, Tube/Transformer buffer
amplifier, VCA (Voltage Controlled Amplifier) and RMS detector
circuits — but they have also been fine-tuned by leading engineers
and feature carefully selected parameters in a simple interface that
makes it easier than ever to create the ideal sound
Compressor 276 (mono), Compressor 276S (stereo)
These models
recreate the fast response, frequency characteristics, and tube-amp
saturation of the most in-demand analog compressors for studio use,
delivering classic-style compression with all the punch and fatness
you'd expect from a fine piece of studio-grade analog gear. Not
limited to processing drums and bass, these compressors are also an
excellent choice for vocals and master stereo mix compression. The
276 is a dual mono unit, while the 276S operates in stereo
Compressor 260 (mono), Compressor 260S (stereo)
Featuring faithful
modeling of the solid-state voltage-controlled amplifier and RMS
detection circuitry of the late 70's, these Add-on Effects bring
back the sound of classic comp/limiters used primarily for live
sound reinforcement applications. They offer three selectable
compression knee types — hard, medium, and soft — and although
variable attack and release are provided, presets recreate the fixed
settings of the vintage gear. Top-level sound-reinforcement
engineers have carefully tweaked the parameters for optimum response
in live situations. The 260 is a dual mono unit, while the 260S
operates in stereo
Equalizer
601
The 601 equalizer
offers two equalizer types - Clean and Drive. The Drive type models
the distortion characteristics of 70's analog EQ circuitry,
delivering musical-sounding drive and saturation. The 601 is a
stereo six-band parametric equalizer with LO and HI shelving filters
and four MID peaking filters, and it accurately reproduces both the
boost and cut frequency response and band interaction of vintage
analog gear. And you get EQ capability over a wide 16 Hz - 40 kHz
range when operating at 88.2/96 kHz. The 601 features a familiar
knob-style interface as well as graphical editing capability on both
the console and PC displays
