TubeSound
Tube warmth for your music
Free · In-App Purchases
Bring tube warmth to internet radio and your music files. Add direct HTTPS MP3/AAC streams, save favorite stations and choose a circuit for each.
TubeSound adds the warm, rich character of classic vacuum tubes to your audio.
This is not a typical tube-style distortion effect. Many presets operate below 0.5% THD, producing subtle harmonic coloration rather than heavy saturation.
REAL TUBE CIRCUITS
23 carefully modeled tube circuits inspired by legendary hi-fi and guitar amplifier designs from the 1950s to today.
Each model recreates key parts of the original design, including triode curves, power supply sag, transformer behavior, and natural analog drift.
PRO MODE
Take full control over tube circuit behavior with advanced parameters such as plate voltage, grid bias, PSU stiffness, transformer saturation, and more.
Includes 5 factory presets inspired by iconic circuits, plus the ability to save and manage your own custom Pro presets.
TUBE AGING
Three wear stages: New, Worn, and Old.
Each stage changes the tube character with increased noise, wider drift, and reduced gain.
RADIO & URL
Listen to internet radio and direct HTTPS MP3/AAC streams through the same tube processing as your local files. Save favorite stations, assign an Audiophile preset or keep your current Audiophile/Pro sound. Track titles appear when provided by the station.
AUv3 PLUGIN
Use TubeSound as an Audio Unit effect in GarageBand, AUM, or any AUv3 host.
FREE TO TRY
All 23 circuits are available in the trial version.
During the trial, audio mutes for 3 seconds every 30 seconds.
