On the software front, there were two new plug-ins for the UAD-1 DSP card: the Pultec EQP-1A Program Equalizer and the Nigel Guitar Processor. All of the unique features of the original Pultec Program EQ plug-in captures all the distinctive characteristics that made the original so popular, including the separate boost and attenuation controls, the smooth, sweet top end, and the ability to dial in seemingly dangerous amounts of boost without getting into trouble. All front panel controls are included, and all of the knob tapers are accurately modeled. The “Nigel” Guitar Processor offers the next generation of guitar processing technology integrated into a complete multi-effects plug-in solution. Nigel delivers a complete pallet of guitar tones, along with most every effect a guitar player might need, from the “Clean and Warm” California tube sound to more metal soaked “British” tones.
Last but not least, Universal Audio also announced Mac support for the UAD-1 DSP card. More details shortly.
