TonePort KB37 also features studio-grade microphone preamps that make getting a pure vocal tone easy. The exclusive GearBox tone software gives you models of the most sought after preamps in the recording world. GearBox even lets you run a completely different signal path for your microphone input with models of vintage preamps, compressors, and reverbs while still giving you the ultimate direct recording sound for your guitar. Feel like recording with a great mic pre and compressor and saving the reverb/delay effects for the mix? No problem. Gearbox can be set up to send your dry vocal to your recording app even when you're monitoring with post effects like mod, delay and reverb. Record either the wet or dry signal - or both. It's your choice!
And with ToneDirect monitoring, you get fully processed audio so you get the sound of a million dollar studio right when you start tracking. In minutes, you’ll be creating tracks that typically take an entire studio, an expert engineer, and a huge hourly rate to pull off!
GearBox Exclusive Preamp Models:
American Classic Inspired by* an API® lunch box preamp in a classic studio setup:
This model gives you classic rock tone that’s focused and a bit compressed through soft distortion. It even includes the treasured tonality and saturation you'd get when recording to classic 24-track analog tape! Good for transients and maintaining a leveled vocal.
Vintage UK Inspired by* a Neve 1073 Warm with mild distortion when pushed. Vintage UK handles transients very well and is great for vocal tracking. Extended bass range also makes it great for direct bass and drum work.
Modern Inspired by* an Avalon Vt737 This modern must-have has a clean, bright, and non-compressed sound with soft transients.
Console Solid State Console Mic Pre Design Has a flat frequency response that’s clean with no artifacts or colorization. A great choice for tracking line level instruments like a keyboard.
This model yields vintage Motown, Memphis, Nashville, and early rock sounds.
Lo-Fi A small speaker sound that’s slightly distorted. Great for adding an overdriven vocal to a track.
GearBox Exclusive Preamp Effects Models:
Compressor (based on* LA-2A® Compressor)
Noise Gate
Male De-Esser
Female De-Esser
All that plus an entire collection of the world’s greatest studio reverbs, delays, and much more!!
