Universal Audio Announces New Direct Developer Plug-Ins From Brainworx & Softube

New UAD Software v8.3 includes two Ampeg SVT bass amplifier plug-ins and the Tube-Tech EQ plug-in collection

Universal Audio has announced the release of UAD Software v8.3, offering new Direct Developer plug-ins — the Ampeg SVT-VR bass amplifier, Ampeg SVT-3 Pro bass amplifier and the Tube-Tech EQ collection for the UAD powered plug-ins platform and Apollo audio interfaces.

Developed by Brainworx, the Ampeg SVT-VR and SVT-3 Pro bass amplifier plug-ins offer two flavors of the SVT recipe exclusively for UAD-2 hardware and Apollo interfaces.

The Ampeg SVT-VR bass amplifier plug-in is an exacting emulation of the 300-watt, all-tube behemoth used by performers such as Bootsy Collins and the late Chris Squire of Yes, while the Ampeg SVT-3 Pro bass amplifier plug-in models the tube/solid-state design and extended tone shaping of the rack-mount original.

Ampeg SVT-VR and SVT-3 plug-ins are available for $149 each. Also offered as the Ampeg bass amplifier plug-in bundle for $229, the emulations provide modern workflow enhancements such as Recording Chain presets offering various cabinet/mic/preamp selections, and more. The bundle also includes the Brainworx bx_tuner.

Developed by Softube, the Tube-Tech EQ collection provides two state-of-the-art emulations of Tube-Tech high-end EQs.

The PE 1C program equalizer plug-in is based on the classic Pultec EQP-1A program EQ, and provides wide, smooth curves for use on nearly any source. The ME 1B mid equalizer plug-in allows for extensive sculpting of midrange frequencies and is based on the Pultec MEQ-5 mid-range EQ.

The Tube-Tech EQ plug-in collection is available for $299. Also offered is the Tube-Tech Bundle for $399, which includes the Tube-Tech EQ plug-in collection paired with Tube-Tech’s flagship compressor, the CL 1B compressor plug-in.
