It offers best-in-class sound using 4 fully discrete, console-grade 6-transistor preamps providing 121 db dynamic range along with rock-solid clocking, all in concert with Antelope's premier real-time FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) FX modeling. It comes with Accusonic 3D microphone and preamp models, plus guitar amps, transformer and tube FX, and a wide range of classic vintage gear, now accessible in any DAW thanks to the Antelope AFX2 DAW Plugin.

But that's not all – this particular package includes the Premium FX Collection, which lets you employ 16 instances of each compressor, EQ, and AuraVerb, along with 4 instances each of the available guitar amp and cabinet models, as well as offering 50+ Antelope Audio real-time FPGA FX.

Enables you to employ and enjoy the full studio power of the Antelope Audio real-time FPGA FX. This collection offers authentic models of iconic studio units from BAE, Gyraf Audio, LANG, and Grove Hill. It lets you use 4 channel strips with 4 FX instances each, and up to 16 channel strips using the AFX2 DAW plug-in, and provides 50+ Antelope Audio real-time FPGA FX, including Vintage Compressors, EQs, AuraVerb, plus models of various Guitar Amps & Cabinet.

Use them within the Discrete 4 Easy Panel or in a DAW using the Connect AFXPlugin. You can plug in your guitar directly into one of the hi-Z enabled inputs and you'll instantly be able to sculpt your tone with some of the most iconic guitar amps and cabinets available. After that, add vintage EQ, compression, and AuraVerb to hear a finished studio quality product with real-time responsiveness while playing through your preferred amp, cabinet, and mic combination. Perform and record using either FX or your direct input, and process later via the integrated guitar effects.

All this delivers the potential for incredible studio sound, emulating gear that –before now– might cost many times the price of this exceptional package.
