Pre TridA

Arturia

Pre TridA is an analog emulation of the legendary Trident A console's preamp and EQ section, delivering the iconic colored sound that shaped classic rock recordings. Built with Arturia's TAE technology for precise circuit modeling, it combines harmonic saturation from the preamp with a unique 4-band EQ featuring inductor-based coloration and switchable high/low-pass filters. Pre TridA captures the distinctive character that made Trident A studios famous while adding modern flexibility like stereo and mid-side processing modes.
