Founded in 2003 in Linköping, Sweden, Softube is a pro audio software and hardware company specializing in high-fidelity digital recreations of classic analog studio equipment. The company grew out of co-founder Oscar Öberg's university experiments with component modeling of Marshall JCM800 tube amplifiers, driven by the belief that existing digital emulations of analog gear fell short of the originals. Softube's product lineup spans mixing and mastering plugins, software synthesizers, and guitar/bass amp simulators, with flagship offerings including the Console 1 hardware-software mixing system, the Amp Room guitar and bass platform, and the Model 72 Synthesizer System — a component-modeled recreation of a classic early-1970s monophonic synthesizer.
Softube has built a reputation for close partnerships with established hardware manufacturers, producing officially licensed plugin recreations in collaboration with brands such as Marshall, SSL, Tube-Tech, Weiss Engineering, Chandler Limited, Drawmer, Summit Audio, Empirical Labs, Trident, and Abbey Road Studios. Notable releases include the Weiss DS1-MK3 mastering processor — a line-by-line code port of the original hardware rather than a traditional emulation — and the Tube-Tech collection of equalizer and compressor plugins. Softube also contributed hardware and software development to Marshall's JMD:1 guitar amplifier line. The company offers its plugin catalog both individually and through its Flow subscription service.
Softube has 143 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Compressor Plugins, EQ Plugins, and Channel Strip Plugins. Their gear is featured by 55 artists, with the strongest followings in Electronic, Pop, and Rock. Notable users include Tycho, Ola Englund, and Disclosure. Softube's catalog spans the full price spectrum — from entry-level options to high-end flagships.
