Phoenix 2

Experience the authentic sound of five analog preamps with Phoenix 2 in your DAW. Every preamp has its own distinctive sonic character, thanks to the 12AX7, 12AT7, and 12AU7 triodes, as well as J201 and 2N5457 JFET transistors. 

To ensure a truly realistic analog sound, Shattered Glass Audio’s cutting-edge circuit simulator is utilized to simulate each preamp circuit in real-time. With Phoenix 2 you can add depth and texture to your mixes or use it as a saturation compressor for added warmth and vibe.

Code Red

Code Red, inspired by two versions of the classic, all tube British console from the 1960s most closely associated with The Beatles sound, offers a full circuit simulation of its preamps. Its original “Pop” and “Classic” EQs have fixed characteristic frequencies and Qs, but they have made them fully adjustable while adding two more mid bands and a high pass filter for added functionality. 

If you prefer the original EQs,  they are still available as presets. Use Inferno to add the classic color and vibe to your mixes and masters.

About Shattered Glass

Founded by musicians and engineers fed up with the hassle of transporting heavy tube amps, playing them at ear-splitting volumes to get decent sound, and having to re-tube them regularly, Shattered Glass Audio set out on a mission. 

After extensive research and testing of various components, the revolutionary “Cracked Glass” guitar amplifier was created and exceeded all expectations. It was an instant hit with everyone who tried it – thus beginning their trajectory in the world of music production software.
