Fuse Audio Labs has announced the release of a virtual tube preamp plugin for Windows and macOS. Capturing the spirit of the V72, the VPRE-72 deilivers a faithful emulation of the input and output transformers, the dual EF804s pentode circuit with its peculiar feedback structure, as well as the heavy output choke which produces a subtle touch of air.

Some pieces of classic studio equipment just don’t need an introduction: Here is the VPRE-72! The archetypal preamp was released in the early 1950s and built by several iconic brands such as Maihak, TAB, Siemens and TFK.

A legend in itself to the present day, the V72 also became the blueprint for the later V76 and the classic REDD.47 preamps used on numerous Beatles sessions.

VPRE-72 is free to download in VST/VST3, AU and AAX plugin formats.
