Class-A Grit. Studio-Grade Transistor Bite.

Introducing DIY-ME: JFT Transistor, a ferociously real set of transistor saturation emulations inspired by the sought-after JFT Class-A Transistor Colour MKII card from DIY Recording Equipment. Captured in full high definition using our flagship modelling tier, this set delivers the unmistakable Class-A solid-state crunch that plugin EQs and saturators only dream of.

🎚️ What’s Inside

This pack includes four distinct transistor profiles, each designed to offer precise tonal variations for mixing and sound design:

• JFT Transistor Low – Adds subtle warmth, grit, and body
• JFT Transistor Mid – Punchy saturation with aggressive midrange
• JFT Transistor High – Forward high-end harmonics and bite
• JFT Transistor Extreme – Full-blown analog transistor overload

Use them on drums, synths, vocals, bass, or mix buses — anywhere you want authentic transistor bite with zero digital smear.

🧬 A Brief History

The JFT Class-A Transistor Colour MKII is a modern take on the beloved solid-state tone of 1970s British consoles. Designed to emulate a discrete Class-A amplifier stage, this Colour card delivers rich 2nd and 3rd order harmonics, zero feedback design, and a slightly unpredictable analog “growl” that engineers crave for tracking and mixing.

Part of the DIY ecosystem, the JFT was engineered to be modded, tweaked, and tailored — and that’s exactly what we did. We captured the real hardware across different drive levels and EQ curves to deliver the exact sound of a cranked JFT card inside your Genesis chain.

What users say about the real hardware:

• “Adds that elusive analog weight.”
• “Perfect for drums and synths — no plugin touches it.”
• “Stacks beautifully, no harshness — just analog attitude.”

💡 Why It Stands Out

These are true saturation models, not EQ curves, distortion approximations, or IRs. You’re getting sample-accurate captures of real Class-A transistor behaviour — with full phase, frequency, and harmonic character retained.

• Ultra-responsive to drive and input level
• Unique mid-forward behaviour that modern plugins often miss
• Captured at multiple tone positions for extreme flexibility
• Ideal for both subtle thickening and full analog mayhem

Once you’ve used these in a Genesis chain, you’ll understand why so many engineers swear by the JFT hardware.
