Analog Effects Collection

Five vintage-inspired effects plug-ins

Analog character for your digital workflow

Get five fan-favorite, retro-inspired effects with the Analog Effects Collection! Add authentic-sounding classic analog alchemy to your digital productions, with none of the maintenance hassle or expense of buying the real thing. Each effect in the collection represents the apex of PreSonus craftsmanship, from State-Space Modeled drive stages with inspiring sonic textures to their classic, vintage-inspired user interfaces. Each Analog Effect includes several professionally-crafted Presets to choose from, dramatically simplifying your mix decisions. These are true workhorse plug-ins you’ll use on countless productions—in fact, once you try PreSonus’ Analog Effects, you’ll wonder how you got by without them!

Formerly only available in Studio One Professional and Artist, we’ve made them available in VST3, AU, and AAX format via PreSonus Hub, by popular request. Chorus, Analog Delay, Red Light Distortion, Rotor, and Tricomp are available for purchase individually or in a cost-saving, five plug-in collection bundle.

A chorus to love any day of the week.

Analog Chorus is a 1-3-voice chorus/doubler processor with optional LFO delay time modulation and stereo width control. It offers a wide range of effects–from subtle to extreme–with its roots in ‘70s era analog guitar pedals and studio FX processors. Whether you want a subtly modulated spring in your sound or a detuned warble, Analog Chorus will soon become your go-to plug-in.

Analog Delay box art

A bucket brigade Analog Delay to set your tracks on fire.

Create deteriorating echoes with changing delay time and pitch with this classic emulation of an analog BBD delay. Bucket brigade delays have been a favorite among guitarists and electronic producers alike for their ability to create a warm delay sound that can range from subtle modulation to spirals down a psychedelic rabbit hole. Analog Delay also features State-Space modeled Drive control to add real analog grit to your sound for even more tonal sculpting.

Red Light Distortion: Getting dirty never sounded so good.

Turn on the red light and get as dirty as you like with Red Light Distortion; an analog distortion emulator with six selectable distortion models: Soft Tube, Hard Tube, Bad Tube, Transistor, Fuzz, or OpAmp. Whether you just need a little grit and warmth or enough distortion to bring Atari Teenage Riot to their knees, Red Light Distortion delivers. With six models to choose from, two EQ controls, a Mix control, and independent Drive and Distortion controls, you’ll be able to design a unique, signature distortion that is completely your own!

Rotor box art

Take Rotor for a spin.

Rotor is a rotary speaker emulation plug-in that simulates the sound of a tube-powered amplifier with independently rotating high-mid horns and a bass woofer, magically recreating a sound synonymous with gospel and 70s-era rock. PreSonus’ Rotor plug-in excels at adding a sense of motion and unique tonal character to organ sounds, guitars, or anything you want to try. (Try it on vocals!) Each speaker's rotation can be set to a range of speeds, with realistic braking and acceleration effects when changing speeds. State Space Modeling technology provides authentic tube emulation for extra warmth and character.

Tricomp: The ultimate 3-band compressor.

Finalize your mix or add brilliance or punch to frequency-rich signals with this three-band compressor plug-in with automatic threshold and ratio settings, plus a relative control for the low and high bands and switchable attack and release controls. The secret weapon for Studio One mix engineers the world over, Tricomp also features State-Space-modeled Saturation control to add real analog grit to your sound for even more tonal sculpting!
