Huge preamp sound with switchable overtones, a Pultec EQ to bring the punch and magic, and a Vari-Mu compressor to keep it all glued together for an incredible finished sound!

The Retro Powerstrip recording channel is a high powered "channel strip" or "vintage studio in a box", capturing the tone of a tube mixing desk, Pultec-style tube EQ and British tube compressor all in one compact 2u rack unit.  It has all the right inputs and enough gain for every microphone and instrument you can throw at it.  It has a balanced line level input for pro-interface instruments and for use during mix time.  The performance is purely musical.  It is perfect for use in any size recording studio or on stage.
