While most things these days are made over seas in huge factories with the singular goal of maximizing profits by cutting corners and using the cheapest components, Black Box Analog Design does things differently.
In fact we take a different approach to most things. We are not interested in creating clones of old gear or building derivatives of popular gear. We are interested in creating gear that does something that hasn’t been done before, addresses a need we come across in the studio and takes a new approach to a problem or design.
We didn’t start out as gear designers. We come from the studio world and years ago, our quest to solve certain problems we came across lead us to begin tinkering with circuits of our own. Since we came from an audio engineering background and not a circuit design background, we weren’t influenced by standard designs or restricted by thoughts of what we “should” do. Instead we allowed our ears to lead us in the right direction.
Every part of our all analog circuits is assembled by hand and every component is painstakingly and precisely matched. We use a real, high voltage, linear power supply, custom wound transformers and the best quality components made.
Features
• Additional digital controls like Input Gain, Density, Calibration, Air and Mix
• Separate gain controls for virtual 6U8A pentode and triode tubes
• Parallel Saturation circuit selects one of two modeled 12AX7 tubes—one voiced more aggressively than the other
• Saturation Frequency selector to add generated 12AX7 harmonics
• Calibration menu to mimic internal trim adjustment
• Variable Density control to boost gain equally for virtual pentode and triode tubes
• Variable Air control to add silvery sparkle and sweetness above 10 kHz
• Added Mix control to adjust wet/dry balance
