Straightforward Design, Powerful Preamp Modeling

Inspired by their own Chimera preamp, MixWave's Benson Preamp plug-in leverages circuitry that uses FET transistors, resulting in rich, full-spectrum harmonics that have left Sweetwater’s guitar gurus impressed. Dedicated controls for input and output levels, as well as high- and low-pass filters allow you to fine-tune your signals for every part of the mix. A straightforward UI boasts a simplified control scheme: volume, treble, bass, and drive. Each do exactly what they say, and they do it well, actively responsive in every register with plenty of dynamic interplay. Mono and stereo recording and output are supported with equal quality, promising versatile mixing and studio opportunities, including an onboard tuner, oversampling options, and a gate control.

MixWave Benson Preamp Plug-in Features:

  • Engineered to emulate FET circuitry for versatile, harmonic-rich output
  • Dedicated highpass/lowpass filtering and level adjustment makes I/O management a breeze
  • Straightforward UI is user-friendly, letting you make quick, easy adjustments, allowing you to focus on the music
  • Onboard tuner lets you keep an ergonomic workflow
  • Gate control ensures you’re able to run most signals with ease
  • Mac/PC VST3, AU, AAX
