Saturation

Radiator

Soundtoys

Radiator is a dual-stage tube input channel and EQ plugin modeled after the classic Altec 1567A tube mixer from the 1960s. It captures the distinctive warmth, saturation, and harmonic coloration of the original hardware, featuring modeled bass and treble tone controls, independent input and output amplification stages, and selectable transformer loading via a Mic/Line switch. This plugin excels at adding vintage character and punch to sources like bass, drums, and vocals.
