5-Min UAD Tips: Helios Type 69 Preamp and EQ

5-Min UAD Tips: Helios Type 69 Preamp and EQ

From must-own albums by Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, and Pink Floyd, to Bob Marley and the Wailers, David Bowie, Black Sabbath, and more, the Helios Type 69 console delivered fat, unmistakable attitude, with punchy midrange and an assertive growl.

In this video, Universal Audio's Ben Lindell shows you how to harness this iconic British tone shaper at the center of hundreds of iconic albums from rock’s “Golden Age,” and how to shape drums using its colorful inductor-based three-band EQ and uniquely voiced low-frequency boost and cut filters.

Watch the full UAD 5-Minute Tip video and learn how the Helios Type 69 Preamp & EQ plug-in can transform your recordings into something legendary.
