Classic British Vibe, Reimagined in Ethereum
The AnalogX Vintage Pre-1057 Emulations pay homage to one of the rarest and most musical preamps in studio history — a British-born transformer-based unit revered for its sweet highs, wide low-end, and unmistakable presence. This collection captures the sonic signature of the original 1057 and transforms it into a powerful, modern Ethereum Series emulation designed for today’s demanding productions.

Whether you’re tracking vocals, bass, drums, or mixing full buses, this pack delivers rich analog tone with smooth transient response and just the right touch of harmonic colour. Inspired by a piece of history — refined by AnalogX.

🎚️ What’s Inside

This Ethereum Series pack includes three fully calibrated profiles:

• 1057 Unity – Transparent and clean with subtle transformer depth
• 1057 Line +10 – Adds presence, boldness, and tone sweetening
• 1057 Driven +5 (Sweet Low & High EQ) – A tasteful push into classic saturation territory, with EQ voicing to enhance clarity and punch

Captured at 96kHz and optimized for 48kHz Genesis playback, each profile is designed to add musicality and weight while keeping CPU usage smooth (~1.7% per instance or 0.7% in mono mode). Calibration is set to -18dBFS RMS input, ensuring instant plug-and-play clarity with no need for extra gain staging adjustments.

🧬 A Brief History

Originally released in the early 1960s, the hardware this pack is based on was one of the earliest solid-state preamps to feature both EQ shaping and transformer-based saturation. Used extensively in broadcast and early studio recording consoles, the 1057 preamp became a cult favourite due to its unique voicing — a balanced blend of clarity, colour, and heft.

Its unmistakable mid-forward tone and silky high-end were embraced by producers seeking warmth and dimension without the aggressive grain of tube gear. The original units are now rare collector's items — which makes this emulation a gateway to an era-defining sound that’s hard to access anywhere else.

💡 Why It Stands Out

• Transformer-Inspired Saturation – Adds glue, weight, and vintage smoothness
• EQ-Tuned Capture – Our +5 Driven model features musical low/high sweetening
• Three Unique Profiles – Tame, push, or saturate with zero phase weirdness
• Ethereum Series Modelling – Near analog response and organic harmonics
• Designed for Modern Use – Perfect for tracking, buses, mix glue, or mastering

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.
