Vintage NV-1073 Preamp Emulations (GENESIS)

AnalogX – Vintage NV-1073 Preamp Emulations (GENESIS)
Exclusive to Genesis | Sampled at 96kHz | Powered by Gold+ & Ethereum+| Calibrated to -18dbfs

The Preamp That Shaped Decades. Reborn.

Inspired by and paying homage to one of the most legendary British Class-A preamps in recording history, the AnalogX NV-1073 delivers the unmistakable tone that has graced everything from rock anthems to soul classics. This is not just another “vintage-style” emulation — this is the real deal, captured from an original 1073 unit and modelled in our high-definition Gold+ and High Quality Ethereum+ architectures.

Expect punch, density, rich transformer saturation, and that signature top-end shimmer — without ever touching an EQ. Whether you're warming up a vocal, adding weight to a bassline, or just want that magical "glue," the NV-1073 brings it in spades.

🎚️ What’s Inside

Carefully sampled across 5 gain stages, the pack gives you the full near analog progression from clean to hot. Each stage captures the harmonic complexity and transformer response in pristine clarity.

Included Profiles:

• NV-1073 Stage 1 – Unity
• NV-1073 Stage 2 – Low - Lifted & Sweet
• NV-1073 Stage 3 – Med - Focused & Forward
• NV-1073 Stage 4 – Hot & Bold
• NV-1073 Stage 5 – Burnin' - Overdriven true NV Cream

Each Emulation is fully gain-matched and calibrated to -18 dbfs rms to deliver the exact dynamic behaviour of the original circuit, modelled at 48kHz for maximum Genesis compatibility and CPU efficiency.

🧬 A Brief History

The preamp behind the NV-1073 was originally designed in the early 1970s and quickly became a staple in high-end consoles across top studios in London and beyond. Known for its wide headroom, silk-like saturation, and iconic transformer tone, this preamp played a central role in shaping the sound of records from artists like The Beatles, David Bowie, Fleetwood Mac, and countless others. Word has it that the vintage 73 sound has not been reproduced today due to the material and construction of those transformers at the time. AnalogX ensures yet another piece of history has been sampled and captured digitally for the generations to come.

What made it special wasn’t just the EQ — it was the preamp stage itself. And that’s exactly what we’ve focused on here. No EQ, no fluff — just the soul of the original vintage 73 sound.

💡 Why It Stands Out

• Gold+ & Ethereum+ Modelling – Enhanced temporal accuracy, richer harmonics, and smoother dynamic transitions
• All Gain Stages Included – From subtle enhancement to full near analog character
• Sampled at 96kHz, Modelled at 48kHz – Precision and power, all in one
• Transformer Warmth – That famous low-mid richness and analog weight
• Straight from the Source – Sampled and modelled from a real vintage NV-1073 unit

⚙️ How to Use It

• Stage 1–2 – Ideal for tracking or subtle mastering warmth
• Stage 3–4 – Great for adding forward tone and presence to vocals, bass, instruments, synths and guitars
• Stage 5 – Use for bold mix bus or mono drum mic impact
• Red Drive at 0 (12 o’clock) – Calibrated for -18 input, just plug and go and tweak the drive to your taste.
