AnalogX The Rooster – Saturation Emulations (GENESIS)

The King of British Valve Tone – Reborn in the Box

This is it. The boldest, filthiest, smoothest, and most unapologetically British saturation emulation we’ve ever created. Inspired by one of the most revered tone-shaping devices in analog history, AnalogX proudly presents:

The Rooster – Saturation Emulations

Valve character doesn’t get more real than this. Triode and pentode switchable, five-position "attitude" control, … the original hardware is an analog cult classic. And now, through meticulous efforts of 2 years R&D bringing you our next-gen modelling, you can have that unmistakable magic in the Genesis ecosystem.

🎚️ What’s Inside

A full suite of emulations covering every tonal possibility:

Triode Mode (HQ d1 Models)

• rooster triode 1_HQ_d1
• rooster triode 2_HQ_d1
• rooster triode 3_HQ_d1
• rooster triode 4_HQ_d1
• rooster triode 5_HQ_d1
• rooster triode max_HQ_d1

Pentode Mode (HQ d1 Models)

• rooster pentode 1_HQ_d1
• rooster pentode 2_HQ_d1
• rooster pentode 3_HQ_d1
• rooster pentode 4_HQ_d1
• rooster pentode 5_HQ_d1
• rooster pentode max_HQ_d1

That’s 12 fully unique profiles, covering all five "attitude" (drive/character) steps in both Triode and Pentode, plus a ‘maxed-out’ version of each mode.

🧬 A Brief History

Inspired by the British made Rooster — a British all-valve tone monster became a go-to weapon for mix engineers looking to inject warmth, grit, and bold harmonic colour into sterile DAW recordings.

Originally launched as a tube EQ and saturation box with Pentode/Triode switching, it quickly gained a cult following for its attitude control — a five-step gain character switch that added increasing levels of drive and harmonic depth.

From subtle fattening to screaming, full-on tube crunch, it carved out its place in top studios worldwide. Used on vocals, drums, synths, and even entire mixes, it became one of the most expressive saturation units ever built.

💡 Why It Stands Out

• Both Triode and Pentode personalities, each with 5 drive positions + max
• HQ Tier Modelling for beautiful saturation with none of the digital ‘smear’
• Red Drive calibrated at 0 (unity gain) for true analog-matched tone

These aren’t just generic tube sims — they’re soulful tone modules designed for the modern producer who wants vintage feel with digital precision.

🎛️ Pro Use Cases

Here’s how real-world engineers are using these Rooster profiles:

• Triode 1–3: Ideal for adding musical warmth and rounding transients on vocals, synths, and overheads without sounding “effected.”
• Triode 4–5: Pushes into harmonic thickness, great for bass, keys, or taming brittle sources.
• Triode Max: Saturated, but still smooth — perfect for parallel buses where character is key.
• Pentode 1–2: Adds upper harmonics and low-mid density. Brilliant on drum buses and acoustic guitars.
• Pentode 3–5: More aggressive mid push — amazing for snare, distorted guitars, or lead vocals that need to cut through.
• Pentode Max: Full-frontal tube fury. Great on FX sends, lo-fi vocals, or breakbeat drums.

Want a killer tone tip? Try blending Triode 2 with Pentode 4 in parallel for a modern analog-style saturation bus chain.

— Kelly W., Mixer/Artist

— Mike R., Engineer
