Shattered Glass Audio Code Red Free Preamp & EQ

Carefully constructed console preamp and EQ inspired by the famous British board from the late 1960s.

What it is:

Classic British console preamp and equalization.

How we use it:

To add punch, warmth, and drive to our tracks. 

Why it's cool:

Chain two of these together to get the Revolution sound. 

Code Red Free is inspired by a classic, all tube, British console from the late 60s. The original console was known for its EQ, bold and punchy character, and the warmth it imparted. The Beatles recorded most of their material using this, and other versions of this console. Easily recognized overdriven sound of the Beatles' Revolution was created by chaining two preamps from this console. Shattered Glass Audio has gone to considerable lengths to find accurate information and reproduce the original EQ curves and accurately model the preamp.
