{"product_id":"psp-binamp","title":"PSP BinAmp","description":"\u003cp\u003ePSP BinAmp is a Class A* triode** preamp emulation. The specific preamp's implementation is based on that of the legendary Binson Echorec 2 delay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Echorec 2 (in Italian, Echorec 2º meaning “the second Echorec”) was one of a line of famous magnetic drum delays designed and built by Binson Amplificatori Hi-Fi S. p. A. since the 1950s. The Echorec 2 was released in 1960, and is considered by many to be the best-sounding in the line. It had unprecedented quality compared to the tape delays of the era, with a warm and musical sound due to the distinctive character of its Class A triode tube design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough the Echorec 2 was incredible for many reasons, the inspiration for PSP BinAmp came from the ingenious design and wonderful sound of its preamplifier. This easy-to-use plug-in provides rich, easily controllable saturation that sounds great on everything from drums and vocals to electric pianos, synthesizers, and drum loops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdded features include high pass filtering and high-frequency rolloff, a –20 dB pad with output gain compensation, polarity switching at input and output, blend control for saturated\/unsaturated signals, and a unique Variation setting that adjusts the individual behavior of multiple instances of the plug-in across your DAW session.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSimple to use and wonderful to hear, PSP BinAmp gives your tracks a little (or a lot) of that rich Binson tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e* Class A audio path: a circuit in which all components process both the positive and negative voltage swings of the signal. This kind of design results in an asymmetric nonlinearities and a buildup of even-order harmonics in the output signal. Although Class A is not the most efficient means of amplification, it is definitely one of the most desirable when the character of the sound is considered a higher priority than transparent gain.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e** Triode: an amplification vacuum tube (thermionic valve) with three electrodes in the tube. It was the first and simplest amplification component of the tube era.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eApplications:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePSP BinAmp can be used on individual tracks or whenever its strong vintage character is required:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ekick, snare and other drum tracks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003evocals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003edrum loops\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eelectromechanical keyboards e.g. Rhodes, Clavinet...\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eelectronic keyboards and synthesizers – especially digital ones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ereamplified guitar and bass guitar tracks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e...or any other track that would benefit from the added character of the old-school sound!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PSP AUDIOWARE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47425531347193,"sku":"1358-2543","price":139.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0746\/5766\/1177\/files\/psp_binamp-1689676494.jpg?v=1771378426","url":"https:\/\/blackoutaudio.com\/products\/psp-binamp","provider":"Blackout Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
