Nick Crow 7170 Lead is a tube guitar amplifier plug-in designed to deliver authentic amp tones for guitarists and producers. This plug-in emulates classic tube amplifier characteristics, providing rich, warm sounds ideal for lead guitar parts and recording sessions. Its design focuses on recreating the dynamic response and tonal warmth associated with tube amplifiers.

The plug-in features two separate channels that can operate in stereo mode, allowing users to process double tracks effectively. Each channel activates only when a signal is present at its input, optimizing CPU usage and ensuring efficient performance during complex projects. Recent updates have expanded compatibility to Mac OS X, opening the plug-in to a wider range of users.

Control options include a power switch, preamp gain, and a detailed tone stack with low, mid, sweep, and high frequency adjustments that enable precise shaping of the sound. Additional controls for power amp gain and output level allow users to fine-tune the amplifier’s response and overall volume. These features make the Nick Crow 7170 Lead a flexible tool for capturing classic tube amp sounds within a digital environment.
