Easily add warm tube saturation, harmonics, and presence to your sources.

Professional mix engineers have long employed the SPL TwinTube hardware for its ability to make vocals and instruments pop, emphasizing select harmonics to add presence and dimension without impacting dynamic range. The SPL TwinTube Processor plug-in for UAD-2 hardware and Apollo interfaces brings the distinctive features, sound, and character of the the original high-end SPL hardware directly to your DAW.

The SPL TwinTube Processor plug-in expertly combines two essential tube effects, Saturation and Harmonics, in a single processor. Its designed as two fully independent stages — which can be run together or separately — each providing its own unique character. The result is an exceptionally wide-ranging palette of sonic shaping, from smooth and creamy overdrive to deep, growling saturation, with a range of harmonic overtones to add warmth.

Boost presence and spatial imaging without increasing overall dynamic range

Add analog tube warmth, saturation, and rich harmonics to instruments and vocals

Shape and define signals way beyond traditional EQ and compression

Very nice for my Rock Bass Guitar Tracks

The TwinTube Processor from SLP sounds very nice on my Tracks for the Bass Guitar! I use it a lot.

A warm presence!

This really adds warmth, presence (and punch) to electric and acoustic guitar. It works really well, of course, with the SPL Transient Designer. Pleased to have both!

Use something else

Really disappointed in this. wish I spent the money on a different UAD plugin. Native Instruments is far better, this seems to just add super unnatural transients and doesn't even sound nice on 95% of drums or anything I use it on compared to other transient plugins.

spl twin tube...as if i had a new studio

the twin tube is an exellent tool to give colours on individual tracks. by adding differrent upper harmonics each track seperates from the other, so you have a possibility to differenciate the different instruments.

this tool really is priceless

Absolutely Amazing!

I’d already owned the PA version for some time but this one sounds completely different! A must-have, no doubt!

Add life to everything


If you need that spark and character in your voices, this plugin is the solution, on the bass it also does an incredible job.

Fast and easy Harmonics

I use the SPL TwinTube Processor Plugin to get the harmonics i need on a single channel. It is easy to use and makes my workflows very fast. And it is great sounding too. I allways like to use it.

Magic fairy dust on snares!

I've used the SPL Twintube Processor on just about every part of my productions, but it really shines on snares - makes them pop and even acts as a natural limiter of some sorts. Great stuff, and great bang for the buck!

Adding warm to cold digital life

SPL always gives you what you need, no more, no less. This emulation gives you a valve color and warm but do not add extra character. Do not sound digital, if you use it "wisdomly" will improve your audio more than you could believe. Thanks UA!

An excellent tube warmth plugin

If you want to just add tube warmth to your sound, this is the most excellent solution.

Horses and courses I guess.

The high harmonic function of this plugin is fantastic - usually; on the wrong source it just makes everything worse.
The unwelcome intermodulation distortion component of the other control can only be used both sparingly and very carefully. lest it badly unglue your mix.
perhaps it's intended for master bus usage, but I think it's way to heavy handed for that.
