FreqTube FT1-EMU – True Analog Circuit Emulation

Pure Analog Tube Tone. Fully In-The-Box.

FreqTube FT1-EMU brings the behavior of the FreqTube FT1 analog circuitry directly into your DAW — giving you rich tube saturation, harmonics, and dynamic tone shaping without requiring external hardware.

Unlike conventional analog-style processing, FT1-EMU uses component-level circuit modeling based on a SPICE reference model of the original FT1 signal path.

The result is detailed tube character with the convenience of a modern plugin: multiple instances, full automation, instant recall, and complete control inside your session.

From Software to Real Analog in One Click

FT1-EMU also acts as a bridge to the FreqTube FT1 hardware.

Connect an FT1 unit and the same plugin can switch from software emulation to real analog tube processing — using the same controls and DAW session.

No rebuilding your signal chain. No changing your workflow.

Key Features

  2× E83CC for bold saturation and 2× 12AT7 for smoother harmonic warmth.
• Deep Harmonic Control
  Shape Drive, Overdrive, Even/Odd Harmonics, Clipping, Phase, Dry/Wet, and Output.
• Analog-Style Multi-Mode Filters
  Primary and parallel filters with HPF, LPF, Peak, and Bandpass modes plus 12/24 dB slopes.
• Automatic Gain Compensation
  Helps maintain consistent output while shaping harmonics.
• Multiple Plugin Instances
  Add analog-style processing across individual tracks, buses, and complete mixes.
• Full Automation & Recall
  Automate parameters and instantly restore presets and complete sessions.
• Optional FT1 Hardware Integration
  Switch seamlessly between modeled processing and real analog hardware.

Authentic Tube Character Without the Hardware Workflow

Use FT1-EMU to add warmth, saturation, harmonic richness, drive, and analog character to drums, bass, synths, vocals, guitars, buses, and mixes.
