I still remember the day I had the chance to work with vintage studio legends I only knew as plugins for the very first time – and the deep impact it had on my process of creating music…
…analogvibes was born from the idea to not only re-create these vintage pieces of legendary gear, but to enable you to learn how to bring them back to life for yourself. In a nutshell this means:
Ask any sound engineer or artist out there to name one of the most iconic tube compressors ever made – the majority would certainly say it’s the Teletronix LA2A. With its extremely silky sound and unrivaled simplicity of controls it’s the go-to weapon for most engineers when it comes to vocals or bass…
If there is a holy grail of vintage tube equalizers, the Pultec EQP-1A is certainly it. A true legend of which the magic can be heard on countless records from the golden era of analog recording to the present day. The passive design of amazingly smooth filters paired with a tube amplifier…
Most of what can be said about the EQP-1A is true for the MEQ-5 as well: turning the knobs to dial in the EQ feels like a knife going through grandma’s finest handmade piece of butter.
Only this time you cover the “power-range” of frequencies – try it on guitars and you’ll be amazed…
Hardly anybody would disagree if we call this wonderful Vari-Mu tube compressor the «epitome of ultimate tube mojo». Released back in 1961 by Universal Audio it can be seen as the predecessor of the world famous UREI 1176 even though the 176 is a completely different animal…
This unique mic PSU chassis kit is the first and only one in the world that makes it possible to build an authentic looking PSU for simply any vintage tube mic out there without drilling a single hole – be it a Neumann U47, M49 an AKG C12 – you name it…

What a year! Same time last year none of us would have ever expected 2020 to have such a vast impact. It also affected analogvibes more then first expected but we managed and are looking forward for 2021…
Folks, we’re almost there!
The first batch of transformers arrived and as soon as I returned from our family vacation I started to build the prototype unit with the kit parts and took tons of pictures along the way, so I can finally create that build guide for you.
I’m happy to announce we finally have a brand new batch of the Tube Opto Compressor back in stock!
And as requested by many of you, now the back panels are (screen-)printed as well!
