Tupe is a vacuum tube and magnetic tape emulation plugin that combines tube amplification modeling with tape saturation in a single processor. It reproduces the harmonic characteristics of classic tube circuits and analog tape machines, ranging from subtle coloration to intense distortion and saturation, and is designed to recreate the distinctive analog character of 1960s recordings from legendary studios.
