Unleash the authentic sound of a Helios Type 69.

Meticulously modeled from two original “golden unit” consoles, the Helios Type 69 plug-in captures the rich, colorful tone that will transform your vocals, guitars, drums, and bass.

Shape your sound with bold, musical EQ.

Add massive low-end and more.

Four unique low-frequency boost filters deliver the solid, wide bass foundation heard on countless rock, pop, and reggae records. The Bass band can also be switched to a fixed 50 Hz low-cut filter for quick cleanup.
