Key Features
The Freqport FT-1 FreqTube combines the warmth of real vacuum tube saturation with the convenience of a digital plugin, making it an essential tool for musicians, engineers, and producers who want analog tone without the complexity of traditional hardware setups. Featuring four premium vacuum tubes from brands like JJ and Electro-Harmonix, it offers two independent gain stages with full attenuation per channel, giving you a wide range of tonal possibilities.
Product Ref: 326282
Unlike digital emulations, the FT-1 uses four real vacuum tubes to introduce true analog saturation, drive, and harmonic richness. This means your tracks gain depth and character that digital processing alone cannot replicate.
Designed for versatility, the FT-1 features two independent gain stages that allow detailed control over the intensity and texture of the saturation. Whether adding warmth to vocals, grit to drums, or drive to synths, the FT-1 provides the tonal flexibility needed for any mix.
Setting up analog hardware can often be complex, but the FT-1 eliminates these challenges with simple USB-C connectivity. No need for external audio interfaces or complex routing—just connect, load the VST plugin, and start processing your audio with minimal effort.
Because the FT-1 operates as a plugin within your DAW, all analog settings can be instantly recalled with each session. This means no more time wasted trying to match previous settings—your mix will sound exactly as you left it.
Beyond tube saturation, the FT-1 includes eight onboard hardware filters that refine and sculpt your sound. These filters allow for precise harmonic shaping, helping you dial in anything from subtle saturation to aggressive overdrive.
With its ability to process multiple signals at once, the FT-1 is a game-changer for parallel processing. Run multiple instances across different tracks and create unique tonal textures that blend seamlessly into your mix.
The FT-1’s VST interface offers full control over all analog parameters, allowing real-time automation directly within your DAW. This means you can dynamically adjust gain, drive, filters, and harmonics throughout your track, unlocking new creative possibilities.
For those who prefer hands-on control, the FT-1 features assignable knobs that provide tactile access to key settings. Whether adjusting levels, tweaking saturation, or fine-tuning harmonics, you have complete control at your fingertips.
