The first-ever digital simulator of classic valve sound for digital workstations, with triode, tetrode and pentode models and 1600 configurations.

DaD Valve brings the warmth of real valve circuits into digital production, with settings that would be impossible on conventional valve equipment. It simulates the most common valve types, triode, tetrode and pentode, with a full range of biasing and operating levels. A proprietary physical modelling system controls spectral and dynamic response independently and offers a total of 1600 configurations. Optimised responses are provided for the 38 most common families of acoustic and electronic instruments, and DaD Valve is also suited to any other kind of sound, whether music, effects or voices.
