  • Digital model of interaction between gain stages and transformers.
  • Three flexible distortion models with noise modulation.
  • Transient shaping within the distortion models.
  • Mid-side stereo image controls.
  • Advanced noise modes to imprint effects of noise on signal without the hiss and rumble.
  • 64-bit signal path with highly optimised algorithms.

RetroBand is available for Windows and Mac (VST).
