    Free Pultec-style, germanium-based EQ and preamp.


    As per our tradition, each year on April 1st we like to surprise our faithful users with a nice release when everybody else usually likes to joke. This year is no exception, and since we are all mixing and making music from home, an extra tool can make the difference, especially when it oozes character and mojo and, most importantly, when it’s completely free!

    Thanks for the nod toward this. Am I to assume that one need be connected to the internet to download the plugin?

    Sorry, I'm a noob.

    Yes, you have to be online to get it and also to activate it. And you have to use 'Aquarius' (Acustica Audio's product manager) to do so. Not sure if offline activation is working. it seems to be a hassle..

    From their page..

    "As per our tradition, each year on April 1st we like to surprise our faithful users with a nice release when everybody else usually likes to joke."

    It's legit.. really nice. Similar to their other titanium-based free plugin. this is great for kicks and to give anything that vintage mid to high end boost..

    I have Aquarius since 2018 and I don't remember actions like this in April 2018 or April 2019 and I can't find any Their plugin with release date on 31st March or 1st April so... They lie? But this new plugin is real.

    "nice release" =/= free!

    I cant wait for a whole channelstrip in this style. In those times I welcome very single reason to hand my money to an Italian company. :hug:
