FreqTube Quad Analog Tube Processor

Freqport FT-1 FreqTube – Quad Analog Tube Processor

Process up to four mono tracks directly inside your DAW with the Freqport FT-1 FreqTube, a multi-channel analog tube processor that operates as a plug-in. Designed for professional hybrid workflows on macOS and Windows, the FT-1 combines true analog tube processing with seamless plug-in control via VST3, AU, and AAX.

The FT-1 features four independent tube channels that can be used in mono, stereo, or any custom configuration. Using Freqport’s core technology, analog hardware runs directly inside your digital workflow with full automation, recall, and multi-instance operation.

Analog Hardware Meets Plug-In Workflow

Housed in a solid all-metal enclosure, the FT-1 includes two E83CC (12AX7) and two 12AT7 vacuum tubes paired with professional-grade ESS AD/DA converters operating at up to 32-bit / 192 kHz. A high-resolution full-color display and eight assignable control knobs provide immediate tactile control over analog parameters.

The companion plug-in features primary (wet) and parallel (dry) signal paths, each with multi-mode filters. Harmonic and drive controls range from subtle warmth to aggressive saturation, with full automation and instant recall between sessions and presets.
