Trident® A-Range Classic Console EQ
-
The legendary British console EQ that crafted the “Golden Age” of rock records.
Licensed and endorsed by Trident Audio Developments, the Trident® A-Range Classic Console EQ plug-in for UAD-2 and Apollo interfaces expertly emulates the iconic EQ used on David Bowie’s The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust, Lou Reed’s Transformer, and Queen’s Sheer Heart Attack, among hundreds of others.
The original Trident A-Range desk holds near-mythic status, and is arguably the best loved of the classic Trident console designs. Heralded for its unique band interactions and distinct cut-filter combinations, the Trident A-Range EQ has made an indelible impact on the sound of rock.Track and mix with the legendary 4-band active EQ modeled from one of only 13 original Trident A-Range desks
Easily inject life and color to kick drums, bass, and vocals without adding harshness
Artfully sculpt instruments with unique band interactions and musical cut-filter combinations
Add snarling midrange and airy high end to electric guitars
“The Trident® A-Range Classic Console EQ plug-in is one of my favorite EQs, especially for electric guitars. I think it’s the best electric guitar EQ that there is.”
– Joe Chicarelli (The Shins, My Morning Jacket, The Killers)
“The Trident A-Range EQ plug-in has lots of color and is great on snare drums. ”
– Hans Zimmer (The Dark Knight, Gladiator)
“I love the high-end boost of the UAD Trident A-Range EQ. It’s extremely musical all across the board.”
– Ariel Borujow (Chromeo, Mac Miller, Madonna)
“The UAD Trident A-Range plug-in has the sonic integrity of the original hardware.”
– Glenn Rosenstein (Ziggy Marley, U2)レビュー

Great circuit emulation
As long as I used the demo version, I noticed that it gives you a more open sound when you just apply the plugin, without altering any of the EQ's faders. The EQ is good as well, for adding...

Plugin vs Real Deal.
We purchased a pair of original A Range pres when Cherokee parted out their desks. Just today we got around to A/Bing the hardware vs the plug. I was surprised to see just how close they...

Nice sound for some stuff
I don't need this EQ a lot. But when I am using it I get some nice sound out of it.

My faveorite old school sound.
In a digital age where old people like myself still love the sounds of the 50, 60 and 70¨s this is one of my go to plugins. I honestly use it on everything. It quickly became my go to for warm hot bass, but then again the sounds it produces on electric guitars and vocales even, is just amazing to my ears. I like that it is somewhat of a hidden gem, and am super excited that UA would recover it and make it available in today's world of music production. I would love that UA would even develop more plugins based on the old Trident world, just to top of things.

We purchased a pair of original A Range pres when Cherokee parted out their desks. Just today we got around to A/Bing the hardware vs the plug. I was surprised to see just how close they were... doubt i'd be able to pick the plug from the original in a blind test. Congrats, UAD!

Classic EQ
Classic 1970s EQ that has a wonderful effect on sources. Very musical and effective, modelled, from Elliott Smith's desk (source: Tape Op Magazine). Using this alone, you can make some interesting and effective EQ choices.
J. Mateo
a powerful and flexible eq
this is hands down one of the best eq plugins you can use on bass and drums

Trident A-Range Classic Console EQ
After researching, watching all the vids to be found, and speaking with associates, We cannot wait to get the time and with new music to listen to and work with this unique item.
Thanks TRIDENT and UAD!R. Byers
Dreams
A client wanted that mick fleetwood drum sound - understanding that so much goes into achieving that sound ahead of the EQ, the Trident A-Range Classic Console EQ was absolutely the icing on the cake. The perfect EQ to push the kit right where it needed to be.

Sencillo y efectivo
Una eq muy musical, una herramienta perfecta en la mezclas.

Great character eq
This eq has vibe and character and sounds great on guitars. Use it on acoustics to get that 70's Bowie sound. Beautiful.

Want a retro EQ that's beefy and has some bite? Get the Trident!
I got this one on a whim, and I am LOVING IT on my Moog synth. It has a little more girth than the API EQ, more aggressive than a Neve, and not as harsh as the Helios. I'd say the closest in EQ tone is probably the Chandler Curve Bender, but the Trident's limited EQ options got me to a desirable tone much quicker. I'm looking forward to trying this on sources that need some attitude.

Sweet caramel gluing so well my favorite frequencies
Dear UAD (U A dream) , Your Trident emulation sounds like sweet caramel, gluing so well my favorite frequencies. I used it so far to EQ my acoustic guitars and it's sounds gorgeous. Thank you again.

Input/output section
Hey UA,
I'm a a UAD enthusiast and use almost all of the UAD plugins in my work.
I have the Trident A-Range EQ Plugin, but I was wondering if there is ever a chance that you would model the input section of the A,B, or Consoles in a Unison pre-style plugin.
Perhaps I'm misunderstanding what the A-Range EQ plugin is doing in the input/output section, though. Is the input/output section modeled in this plug-in as well? Just curious.
Thanks for all the great gear and plugins!. Adams
Guitars!!!!!
This thing is a beast on guitars. It’s great on other stuff too, toms, bass, certain vocals but man it comes alive on distorted guitars. Playing around with different combos of hi and lo pass filters can really shape the tone before you even get to the rest of the filters.
A. Reverberi
What a gem!
My new favorite EQ. I used to work on a Trident 80B and this EQ definitely captures the vibe and sound of Trident.

Sweet and low!
I love the sweet sounds of this EQ. The low end on my kick is perfect!
