The Trident A-Range plug-in is the first and only native and TDM plug-in that has been fully endorsed by its original designer Malcolm Toft together with Trident Audio.The plug-in is a model of a channel on one of the original 13 Trident A-Range consoles. We chose to model channel 15 from the console at Sweet Silence Studio \'B\' in Denmark, producer Flemming Rasmussen\'s favorite channel for recording lead vocals. Flemming also used it for the solo and rhythm guitars on Metallica\'s \"Ride The Lightning\" and \"Master of Puppets\", and Ritchie Blackmore\'s guitar on the Rainbow albums \"Difficult to Cure\" and \"Bent out of Shape\".The A-Range channel features four bands of equalization and high and low pass filters.
