SCOTTS VALLEY, CA • November 15th, 2017 — Universal Audio is pleased to announce the release of UAD Software v9.4. Alongside the new UA-developed Empirical Labs® EL8 Distressor plug-in, this latest software release also offers plug-in titles from UA’s direct developer partners.
Dytronics Tri-Stereo Chorus — $199*
Developed by Softube and available exclusively for UAD hardware and Apollo interfaces, the Dytronics Tri-Stereo Chorus plug-in is an exacting emulation of the ultra-rare, three-channel dream machine favored by ’80s L.A. session royalty — including Michael Landau, Steve Lukather, and Dann Huff. The Dytronics Tri-Stereo Chorus plug-in gives you all the expansive depth of the original’s three independent bucket-brigade delay lines, along with new “plug-in-only” features, for tracks dripping with lush vibe and character.

Dytronics® Tri-Stereo Chorus Plug-In Key Features:

  • Get thick analog chorus from three bucket-brigade delay lines, simultaneously on a single source
  • Craft rich, swirling analog chorus textures on guitars, keyboards, bass, synths, and more
  • Sculpt lush modulation sounds with Preset or Manual mode, each with its own LFO waveform output
  • Use Preset and Manual modes together to craft your own signature chorus tones
Gallien-Krueger 800RB Bass Amp  — $149
Developed by Brainworx and available exclusively for UAD hardware and Apollo interfaces, the Gallien-Krueger 800RB Bass Amp is an exacting emulation of the legendary solid-state bass amp used by artists like Red Hot Chili Peppers, Radiohead, No Doubt, Guns n’ Roses, and more. Famous for its bi-amplified operation and DI output, the Gallien-Krueger 800RB quickly became an industry standard for countless bassists, touring bands, and backline companies.

The Gallien-Krueger 800RB plug-in emulates the original hardware’s bi-amplified architecture, providing two different power amps — one for the lows and one for the highs. An adjustable crossover allows you to control which frequencies go to which power amp, and each has a master volume knob, making it easy to dial in just the right amount of bass or bite.

Gallien-Krueger® 800RB Bass Amp Plug-In Key Features:

  • Record your bass through a spot-on emulation of one of the all-time classic bass amps
  • Independently select Recording Chains with cabinet/microphone combos for each of the 800RB’s two amplifiers
  • Shape your tone with Gallien-Krueger’s unbeatable voicing filters and 4-band EQ
  • Track with authentic bass-amp feel through an Apollo interface using Unison™ technology
Ocean Way Microphone Collection — $249*
Developed by Townsend Labs for the Sphere L22 microphone and available exclusively for UAD hardware and Apollo interfaces, the Ocean Way Microphone Collection plug-in expertly captures the “best of the best” from Allen Sides’ world-renowned mic locker at Ocean Way Studios.
