Ward Beck Vintage Console Emulations (GENESIS)

AnalogX – Ward Beck Vintage Console Emulations
Exclusive to Genesis | Sampled at 192kHz | Powered by Ethereum

The Canadian Console Classic. Reborn in Ethereum.
The AnalogX Ward Beck Vintage Console Emulations pay homage to one of Canada’s greatest analog recording consoles—revered for its transformer-based tone, punchy dynamics, and beautifully musical top-end. Long dubbed the “Canadian Neve,” this console’s reputation was built on its use of Jensen transformers, discrete design, and balanced clarity—now captured and enhanced using our Ethereum Series modeling.

Thanks to Ethereum’s ultra-smooth dynamics and artifact-free behaviour, this emulation delivers real analog weight, depth, and harmonic character—making it a go-to for engineers who want console warmth with precision control.

🧬 A Brief History of the Original Hardware
The original Ward Beck consoles were developed during the golden age of analog broadcast and studio recording, quickly earning their nickname as Canada’s answer to Neve. Known for delivering musical tone, headroom, and warmth through premium Jensen transformer circuitry, these consoles became a mainstay in studios across North America.

They offered pristine detail and punchy low-end without ever sounding harsh—making them perfect for vocals, instruments, or full mixes. By modeling every stage—preamp, multiple line inputs, and the master bus—we’ve brought the full console vibe into your DAW, minus the maintenance and recall hassles.

🎚️ What’s Inside

Captured at 192kHz and modeled with Ethereum’s ultra-responsive architecture, the pack includes:

• WBS Preamp Emulation – Signature transformer warmth, ideal for vocals and tracking
• 4 x WBS Line Emulations – Each offering subtle character differences for a multi-track or stereo summing setup
• WBS Master Bus Emulation – Final glue with balanced tone and console-style drive

Whether you're adding saturation to tracks or enhancing a mix bus, each profile responds like the hardware—with harmonics and dynamic colour that plugin algorithms just can't touch.

💡 Why Ward Beck Stands Out

• Inspired by a Legendary Canadian Console – Captures the tone, dynamics, and transformer character of a studio staple
• Powered by Ethereum Series – Smooth, artefact-free dynamics with full-frequency harmonic detail
• Transformer Tone in the Box – Recreates the sonic fingerprint of Jensen transformer paths
• Flexible Use – Perfect for mixing, tracking, summing, or mastering
• Captured at 192kHz – Maximum transient and harmonic fidelity, downsampled to 48kHz for performance
• Designed for Genesis – .gen format with real-time control and zero-latency processing
