As a 500-series follow-up to the Portico 5042, the Rupert Neve Designs 542 delivers the same thick, musical simulation of tape while drastically enhancing creative control via a number of features. In addition to the the “true tape” circuitry – great for bringing out 3rd-order harmonics – the Rupert Neve Designs 542 incorporates a soft-clip circuit that tames the harshest sources and enhances 2nd-order harmonics, a variable and versatile Silk/Texture circuit for three transformer tones in one, and a wet/dry control to blend in the perfect amount of saturation.
Key Features:
- Add the rich, musical sound of tape to your digital tracks
- True Tape circuitry uses real tape heads to emulate the characteristics of tape recording
- Versatile Silk/Texture circuit gives you additional sonic-sculpting potential
- Wet/dry control lets you fine-tune the amount of tape saturation
- Soft-clip circuit helps you tame the sound of harsh, transient signals
