112dB has announced Redline Preamp, a preamp effect plug-in for Windows and Mac.

Redline Preamp livens up any “too clean” signal with a customizable combination of even and odd harmonics, saturation, and soft clipping. Redline Preamp is a vintage console channel, a musical grunge machine, and everything in between.

Unique and concise editing options allow for anything from subtle coloration to high-class grunge, from vintage emulation to fattening of digital mixes. A showcase selection of carefully constructed presets ranging from the American Vintage to the full-blown Beyond Repair is included.

Highlight features include proprietary zero-latency tube modelling with detailed harmonics control, three tunable frequency bands with solo listening, and mid/side processing.

Redline Preamp is expected to release on January 8, 2010.
