Code Red draws inspiration from the iconic all-tube British console of the 1960s, closely linked to the legendary sound of The Beatles. This plugin offers high-fidelity models of two original preamps, created through meticulous full circuit simulations, capturing the authentic warmth and character of the classic hardware. Users can choose between two distinct preamp emulations, reflecting the different versions of the original console, making it ideal for producers seeking vintage tonal qualities.

Expanding on the original fixed EQ designs, Code Red introduces a fully adjustable parametric EQ with enhanced flexibility, including two additional mid bands and a high-pass filter. The plugin retains the original "Classic" and "Pop" EQs as presets, allowing users to access the traditional tonal options while benefiting from modern control. Multiple processing modes are available, including stereo with linked or separate channel controls, mid-side processing, and selectable mono mode for efficient handling of mono signals.

Additional features such as automatic 4x oversampling ensure clean audio processing, while dry-wet mixing provides seamless blending of processed and original signals. The plugin also offers selectable input, output, and input/output VU levels to facilitate precise level matching during mixing. Code Red is a powerful tool for achieving classic vintage console tones with modern flexibility and control, perfect for a wide range of mixing and production scenarios.
