NP A67

The NP A67 is the first-ever plugin collaboration between KIT Plugins and the legendary Norman Petty Studios, the birthplace of iconic recordings by Buddy Holly, Roy Orbison, and more. Modeled after Petty's Altec 1567A mixer amplifier, the NP A67 captures the unmistakable sonic character of the early rock 'n' roll era—refined into a focused, modern single-channel preamp and EQ plugin for today's producers and engineers.

While the original Altec 1567A was a five-channel tube mixer built for live use, its rich, colorful tone quickly made it a studio favorite. The NP A67 distills that magic into a powerful preamp and EQ, offering warm saturation, bold mids, and vintage musicality with zero fuss. It's a timeless sound—reborn for the modern mix.
