Unlock the authentic analog charm of vintage recording studios with the Lindell Audio ChannelX plugin suite. This powerhouse collection brings together three iconic Lindell units—the 6X-500 preamp, 7X-500 FET compressor, and PEX-500 EQ—within a single virtual 500 series frame, offering flexible routing and instant tonal magic at your fingertips. Whether you're cleaning up your tracks, adding punch, or crafting smooth, silky tones, ChannelX delivers.

The 6X-500 preamp offers a faithful emulation of its hardware counterpart, complete with all discrete design and a mono transformer-coupled setup. Its high and low pass filters with variable slopes provide the perfect tools for sculpting your sound with precision. Crank up the gain for a creamy, yet powerful presence that stands out in any mix.

The PEX-500 EQ takes inspiration from classic Pultec designs but adds modern twists, like additional high-frequency selections and a Mid/Side matrix for stereo imaging. Its passive design and transformer-balanced output ensure you get the punchiest lows and smoothest highs.

At the heart of ChannelX, the 7X-500 FET compressor replicates the classic 1176 sound, featuring a high pass sidechain filter and mix control for parallel compression. Its flexibility shines with stereo operation and continuously variable attack and release controls, allowing for both subtle dynamic adjustments and explosive rock 'n' roll energy.
