- Vinyl - Emulates the crackly and wind-like noise floor of a vinyl disc for that retro feel found on classic records
- VHS - Provides the static-like noise floor of a VHS (video home system) associated with media released in the late 70’s, 80’s, 90’s and early 2000’s.
- Cassette - Produces the underwater-sounding noise floor of a cassette tape, very familiar to people growing up between the 60’s and 90’s.
- Tape - Emulates the high-hiss noise floor sound of a tape machine giving you the power to inject a well known sound of the past into your productions.
- Custom - Load additional textures from your computer to create endless tonal options. Choose from a list of factory supplied textures including Damaged VHS, Dusty Tape and many others, or load your own unique texture.
Expansive Profile Module

- Device - Choose from Headphones 1, Headphones 2, Piezo, Phone, Small Speaker, Speaker and Tablet.
- Custom IR - You can load in a custom Impulse Response to customize the sound, making the end result truly yours.
