The Ultimate 13 features the '65 Fender Deluxe Reverb, '68 Marshall Super Lead and '63 Vox Top Boost plug-ins for access to the tones that defined rock. It also includes recreations of vintage pedals like the MXR Flanger/Doubler, providing retro modulation and time-based effects.

Produce Authentic Vocal Takes With Channel Strips and Preamps

When recording vocals, having the right signal chain is key to capturing a compelling performance. The Ultimate 13 lets you build custom vocal paths with vintage preamps like the UA 610 or modern designs like the Avalon VT-737sp. It also provides vintage channel strip plug-ins from API, Neve and SSL for one-stop tonal shaping. Add in pitch correction from the Topline suite and you have everything needed for professional vocal production.
