The Bettermaker Valve Stereo Passive Equalizer (VSPE) combines the warmth of tube technology with the precision of digital control.
After years of development, this device offers a first-class solution for anyone looking for precise sound control and versatility.
Passive equalizers are known for their ability to produce a round, warm bass and clear treble.
The Bettermaker VSPE enhances this sound character through the use of vacuum tubes and transformers.
The HEAT function allows you to choose between transparent tube sound quality and rich tube and transformer saturation.
The integration with the DAW plugin enables recall and automation.
The VSPE offers flexibility for recording, mixing, production and mastering by combining analog warmth with modern technology.
The tubes used in the VSPE date back to the 70s and 80s and were originally produced for military applications in the USSR.
These tubes are characterized by low noise and distortion levels and have undergone rigorous testing to ensure high reliability.
The transformers have been carefully developed to meet the highest requirements.
Through intensive research and comparison with classic transformers, Bettermaker has found a solution that offers excellent sound fidelity, especially in the lower frequency range.
The Bettermaker Valve Stereo Passive Equalizer comes with a DAW plugin that allows you to control and save all settings.
In addition, the plugin offers digital high-pass and low-pass filters, a spectrum analyzer, session snapshots and other useful features such as dual-mono operation and audio level metering.
The VSPE’s filters can be adjusted directly in the EQ curve diagram, with the selected band being played solo.
Please note: Some hardware functions are only available when the DAW plug-in is active.
In standalone mode, both channels are linked and quantization mode is deactivated.
The HEAT function always remains linked.
