Heritage Audio has announced the release of the BritStrip plugin, a faithful recreation of their renowned BritStrip Console Channel Strip. This plugin combines a powerful 73-style equalizer with the acclaimed diode bridge compressor from the Heritage Audio Successor.
Key Features
- Expanded 73 Equalizer: The BritStrip EQ offers extreme boost capabilities without compromising signal quality, even at extreme settings. The mid band is particularly effective for shaping snares, kicks, guitars, and vocals. The high-pass filter removes unwanted low frequencies, and the high and low shelves feature a bell mode for precise sound shaping.
- Successor-Like Compressor: The diode bridge compressor delivers a thick, solid, and punchy sound with thorough dynamic control. The "BLEND" function allows for a perfect balance between the original signal and the compressed signal, and the sidechain filter enables focused compression on specific frequencies.
- Routing Flexibility: The BritStrip allows for flexible internal routing, with the option to equalize before or after compression. This provides creative control over the signal flow and tonal balance.
- Two Versions Available: The BritStrip is available in two versions: the standard BritStrip without a preamp, and the BritStrip with a built-in 73-style preamp, modeled after Heritage Audio's own i73 PRO interface.
- Free for Existing Owners: Owners of the BritStrip hardware or an i73 PRO interface will receive the corresponding BritStrip plugin for free.
Pricing and Availability
The BritStrip plugin is available now for $99 / 99€ and comes with a 14-day free trial.
