Emulation of the Warm Audio WA73-EQ · inspired by the Neve 1073

The holy grail of preamps. British console tone for everyone.

About the Warm Audio WA73-EQ

The Warm Audio WA73-EQ is a faithful recreation of the Neve 1073 — arguably the most famous microphone preamp and EQ circuit in recording history. UK-made Carnhill transformers, Blore-Edwards mil-spec switch pots, and 80dB of Class A discrete gain deliver that legendary harmonically rich bottom end and focused midrange.

The PH-73EQ CLAP emulation brings the 1073's three-band shelving EQ and transformer coloration into Bitwig with full automation and recall. Crank the input and back off the output for tasteful vintage saturation — just like the real thing.
