Vintage British - 1081 Pre/Line Emulations (GENESIS)

AnalogX – Vintage British 1081 Pre/Line & Mix Bus EQ Emulations
Exclusive to Genesis | Sampled at 192kHz | Powered by Ethereum

The Sound of British Class A. Studio Gold Since the '70s.
The AnalogX Vintage British 1081 Pre/Line & Smile EQ Emulations bring the unmistakable character of a legendary 1970s British console module into your Genesis workflow—now upgraded to the Ethereum Series for zero artefacts, ultra-smooth saturation, and beautiful near analog behaviour at just ~1.7% CPU usage per instance and 0.7% in mono mode (Genesis v1.02 Coming Soon).

This pack captures the tone of one of the most revered solid-state mic/line preamps and EQs in recording history. From clean line amplification to bold harmonic drive and lush mix bus sculpting, these profiles offer Class A depth, vintage punch, and that classic British “sheen” your mix has been missing.

🎚️ What’s Inside

• NV-1081 Line Pushed EQ Switched (No EQ) – Subtle transformer saturation for adding analog body to any source
• NV-1081 Line Pushed – Cranked line amp with beautiful low-end punch and bold harmonics
• NV-1081 Pre & Mix Bus EQ – Signature mix bus tone with full EQ coloration and transformer sweetening
• NV-1081 Pre Sweet – Musical, smooth enhancement with round lows and polished high-end
• NV-1081 Pre Gnarly – Big, Open and driven, bringing the classic low mid heft and forward mid tone

Whether you're tracking through it, mixing with it, or adding final gloss to your stereo bus, this collection brings out the best in your recordings with instant vibe and classic tone.

🧬 A Brief History of the 1081

First introduced in the early 1970s, the original 1081 module was developed for elite British console systems and quickly became a favorite for its pristine EQ section and bold mic/line preamp. Known for its transformer-balanced circuits, wide frequency shaping, and solid Class A tone, it’s been used on legendary records across rock, pop, jazz, and orchestral music. Today, it's still the benchmark for vintage British tone—and now it’s yours in Genesis format.

💡 Why the Vintage British 1081 Pack Stands Out

• Ethereum Series Technology – No artefacts, phase issues, or harsh resonance — just smooth tone
• Mix Bus Mojo – Profiled for both tracking and mastering duties
• Ready for Real-Time – Load instantly with zero latency, tweak live, and mix into it from the start
• Perfect for Any Genre – From vocal chains to full mix buses, this EQ/pre combo handles it all
