Tube Amp is an audio effect AU and VST plugin that applies asymmetric tube triode overdrive usually found in single-tube microphone pre-amp boxes. The sound this plug-in produces varies from a mild “warm” overdrive to a fuzzy distortion.
Tube Amp also includes a -6 dB/oct low-pass filter that is built-in into plug-in’s valve modeling equation, and can be used to imitate a lower-quality tube triode. Beside that, Tube Amp has a switchable output saturation stage which can be used to additionally overdrive the output signal.
Tube Amp features all standard advanced Voxengo plug-in features like full multi-channel operation, channel routing, built-in oversampling and other functions.

System Requirements
This plug-in is compatible with Windows (32- and 64-bit Windows XP, Vista, 7 and later versions) and Mac OS X (10.5 and later versions, 32- and 64-bit, Intel processor-based) computers (2 GHz dual-core or faster processor with at least 1 GB of system RAM required). A separate binary distribution file is available for each target computer platform for each audio plug-in specification.
Compatibility
This audio plugin can be loaded into any audio host application that conforms to the AudioUnit or VST plugin specification.
RTAS compatibility is available by using the FXpansion VST-RTAS adapter.
Installation Instructions
For VST plug-ins on Windows platform:
You should unpack ZIP file you have downloaded into the "VstPlugins" folder, the one which is connected with the audio application you are using and where this application expects VST plug-ins to reside (it is also suggested to create the "Voxengo" or "Voxengo64" for 64-bit plug-ins sub-folder there, and unpack the archive there instead of the main "VstPlugins" folder).
For VST/AudioUnit plug-ins on Mac OS X platform:
You should open the DMG disk image (which you already did since you are reading this file) and drag & drop the "component" (or "vst") package from it into the corresponding plug-in folder located in the "/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/" folder on the harddisk (the "component" package should go to the "/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/" folder while the "vst" package should go to the "/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST/" folder). Note that a direct link to this folder is present in the DMG archive. After this has been done you will need to order your audio application to rescan plug-ins, or if that option is unavailable you will need to re-start this application. Note that plug-ins cannot work without an audio application that hosts/loads them.
