Audio Hertz releases AM.pre (VST3/AU/AAX)

Audio Hertz has released AM.pre, a new audio plugin (VST3/AU/AAX) that is designed to authentically capture the sound of the Ampex 351 tube preamp, the same preamp found in countless classic studios and iconic recordings. Known for its warm saturation and rich tube character, the Ampex 351 preamp became a studio workhorse throughout the 1950s and beyond. Built around high-voltage tube stages and large transformers, it delivered harmonic richness that engineers still chase today. AM.pre brings the tone of the 351 into a plugin with the same sweetness, body, and musical saturation the hardware is famous for. It adds warmth and character to anything you run through it, and when pushed, it blooms into smooth tube saturation that stays musical at any level. Designed with a simple and fast workflow, AM.pre delivers mix-ready analog color with no menus or hidden controls. Just turn it up and hear it happen. Key Features: 351 Tube Preamp Model – Faithful emulation of the iconic Ampex 351 amplifier stage. Sweet Tube Harmonics – From gentle warmth to rich, musical breakup. Mix-Ready Tone – Smooth top end, thick low-end, and natural glue on any source. Dynamic Gain Staging – Responds like real hardware for authentic feel and tone. Simple Workflow – Fast, intuitive control with zero menus or hidden settings. Auto Gain – Maintains consistent output level while adjusting gain. Pricing & Availability: AM.pre is available now for macOS and Windows in VST3, AU and AAX plugin formats for an introductory price of $19 (Reg. $39) at audiohertz.com Read More
