Helios Type 69 Preamp and EQ Collection

The hallowed Helios Type 69, totally re-modeled with Unison technology.

Whether it was housed at Olympic in London, Musicland in Munich, or in the famed Rolling Stones' mobile studio, the Helios Type 69 console was at the center of hundreds of iconic albums from rock's "Golden Age." From must-own albums by Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, and Pink Floyd, to Bob Marley and the Wailers, David Bowie, Black Sabbath, and AC/DC, the Type 69 delivered fat, unmistakable attitude, with a punchy midrange and an assertive growl.

The all-new Helios Type 69 Preamp and EQ plug-in for UAD-2 hardware and UA Audio Interfaces is a masterful, end-to-end circuit emulation of the rare hardware, going well beyond UA's original Helios Type 69 plug-in:

• Track and mix through a stunning emulation of the Helios Type 69 vintage analog channel.
• Get the full character of the original hardware's Lustraphone transformer-based mic preamp with Unison technology.
• Sculpt your sources with a colorful inductor-based three-band EQ.
• Shape guitars, vocals, and more with legendary Type 69 midrange aggression.
• Tweak low-end character with uniquely voiced low-frequency boost and cut filters.
• Mix with artist presets from J.J. Blair (Johnny Cash, George Benson), Chris Coady (Yeah Yeah Yeahs, TV on the Radio), Jacquire King (Kings of Leon, Tom Waits), and more.
