🎧 The Boutique Tape Secret — Reinvented in Gold, Ethereum‑X & Platinum - The Best Digital Tape Sim in the World
Introducing the AnalogX Zulu-XT Tape Sims — a collection of ultra-characterful tape-inspired emulations based on a now-legendary boutique processor that has quietly made its way onto the mix bus of some of the most respected engineers in the game.

Built with deep harmonic detail and subtle compression that rivals the best reel-to-reel tape machines, this pack takes the legendary mojo of the original Zulu hardware and supercharges it through the latest AnalogX Gold, Ethereum‑X and Platinum model tiers.

🎚️ What’s Inside
This isn’t just another tape saturation pack — it’s a full-blown analog-inspired toolkit for coloration, vibe, and finished-record tone across your entire mix. Included profiles:

• Gold Bus – Rich, wide, polished and mix-ready
• Acoustic GTR – Tape Room – Natural warmth, soft top
• Hip Hop Drums – Vintage Phat – Slams with depth and punch
• Swiss Bus – Neutral transformer-like tone with added clarity
• Synth Bus – Old Timer – Glue and vibe with subtle harmonic haze
• Vocal Bus – Swish HiFi Push – Sparkle with rounded warmth
• Vintage Tape Glow – Mellow tone with soft-knee compression
• Zulu Warm Bus – Smooth, immersive saturation with near analog depth

Whether used on individual tracks, groups, or your entire mix — these emulations enhance harmonic density and soften digital transients while preserving detail and dynamics. You will not have not heard tape saturation like this ITB before!

🧬 A Brief History
The original hardware was built in a garage and quickly gained cult status. Billed as a "tape machine replacement" without the mechanical hassle, it fuses the warmth of tape with the reactive dynamics of analog saturation stages. Its exact circuit has always been a secret — but the results speak for themselves: round, rich, and radio-ready sound instantly.

The Zulu-XT captures the heart of this design and elevates it with our newest modelling tiers, allowing users to choose from Gold (fast, clean), Ethereum‑X (smooth, responsive) or Platinum (hyper-detailed, full-depth) versions — depending on the demands of your mix.

🔊 Red Drive Calibration
This is a tone-based emulation pack — for correct behaviour, set Genesis’s red Drive knob to 0 (12 o’clock) for unity gain tone calibration.

Near analog… we don’t pretend to be analog, we don't market our products as analog, but we think we are nearer than most — we’ll let the user decide.
