Product Overview

Overview

The Big Hairy Guitars BHG 1U Preamps Tone Collection is a professional-grade expansion for the IK Multimedia TONEX ecosystem, designed to bring the legendary grit and polish of 80s and 90s rackmount gear to your digital studio. Produced by renowned composer and instrumentalist Michael Nielsen of Ninja Tracks and the Big Hairy Guitars YouTube channel, this collection focuses on the specific harmonic richness and depth found in analog 1U preamps.

This comprehensive bundle features 85 high-fidelity tone models captured with extreme precision. To ensure absolute transparency and accuracy, the captures were routed directly from the preamps through an API console using Lynx Aurora (n) converters. This meticulous signal chain preserves the nuance and character of the original hardware, providing a plug-and-play solution for those seeking authentic vintage rack tones without the physical footprint.
