Product Overview
The Color Bundle from Rupert Neve Designs gets your 500-series rack journey off on the right foot. With two channels of 100% pure analog tape emulation you can warm even the harshest source tracks and make your stereo mixes breathe with old school punch and depth. The “True Tape” drive circuit and custom interstage transformer act like an analog record head, imparting sweet saturation and smoothing out the rough edges to add a subtle natural compression. There's even selectable 15/30 IPS speed control with blend to further customize the sound. These aren't auto EQ tricks, just pure natural analog saturation that interacts beautifully with the source harmonics to deliver highly musical results.
