Kazrog and Powers Music Group are proud to announce their next plugin collaboration - True 252. Following in the line of vintage analog emulations such as True Iron and True Dynamics (both of which received NAMM TEC Award nominations), True 252 is an emulation of the highly sought after Langevin EQ 252A Graphic Equalizer.
In building this emulation, copious measurements were made of the original hardware, and every effort has been made to accurately represent it in the digital domain - including the extremely musical, Motown-style EQ curves, and gentle natural saturation of the original unit.
This equalizer is incredibly intuitive, and brings life to masters, buses, and individual tracks in a way that feels effortless and immediate.

• Vastly improved multiband performance
• Improved stability and performance efficiency across all supported platforms
• Improved tube, tape, germanium, silicon, guitar amp, and broken speaker modes (other modes unchanged)

]]>Kazrog is proud to announce its forthcoming amp modeling plugin line, AmpCraft. Each AmpCraft plugin will emulate a specific guitar or bass amp, along with a collection of pedals, cabinets, and mics. As with all Kazrog plugins, each plugin will support Mac and Windows operating systems, and VST, VST3, AU, and AAX plugin formats. Standalone app versions will also be provided.
First to be released in the series will be AmpCraft - 1992, an emulation of one of the most celebrated high gain amps of all time. While this release is focused on the modern high gain player, subsequent AmpCraft plugins will emulate a wide range of amps spanning all eras and styles of electric guitar - including some rare and vintage amps that have never been emulated before.
While the amp modeling space is increasingly crowded, AmpCraft has several core priorities that set it apart from other modelers:
Additionally, AmpCraft offers:
AmpCraft builds upon Kazrog's core legacy in guitar software products, which began with the critically acclaimed Thermionik and Recabinet.
AmpCraft - 1992 is slated for a Fall 2021 release. Subsequent AmpCraft plugins will follow, spanning all eras and styles of electric guitar. Specific pricing and more details will be announced soon, but rest assured, special upgrade pricing for Thermionik and Recabinet owners will be honored.

Kazrog and Powers Music (the team behind the 2020 NAMM TEC Award nominated True Iron plugin) proudly announce True Dynamics - two vintage valve compressor emulations in a single plugin, out now! This plugin emulates the Presto 41A and ITA LA1B - two of the most sought after and hard-to-find vintage tube compressors in all of pro audio. These are the rare secret weapons of some of the world's top mixing and recording engineers, and now they can be in your DAW for a tiny fraction of the cost of owning the real units (assuming you can even find those!)

As announced in a press release earlier this year, Kazrog's True Iron plugin is a nominee in the 2020 NAMM TEC Awards in the category of Outstanding Technical Achievement.
While voting is not open to the general public, we are humbly asking registered voters to consider voting for True Iron in its subcategory - SIGNAL PROCESSING SOFTWARE (DYNAMICS/EQ/UTILITIES). This is the first time a Kazrog product has ever been nominated for the NAMM TEC Awards, and it is a huge honor for a version 1.x plugin to be nominated alongside established, mature industry standard tools in this category (as an aside, a typo on the NAMM TEC Awards site lists True Iron as being at version 7 - no we're not quite there yet, but we appreciate the enthusiasm!)
At this link, you can log in to vote - or, if you are not registered, but make your primary living in the music, sound and entertainment technology industries, you may fill out the form to request to vote.
Thank you for your time and consideration! We look forward to meeting some of you at the NAMM TEC Awards in January 2020.
