So 'warm' you might get burnt
CREAM2 is a VST/AAX/AU is a VST/AAX/AU plugin suite composed of several modules based on an iconic series of hand-built British vacuum tubes and transistor-based solid-state hardware made between the late '50s and the early '70s. Due to the rare historic topology and components used in the original hardware, Cream offers a unique tone that stands out for its incredible warmth and tonal richness.
Details
Cream2 went through a long phase of research, design, development, and prototyping, and we are proud of the final result. The innumerable peculiarities of Cream make this plug-in the perfect fusion between Vintage and Modern, Analog and Digital.
Our CREAM2 plugin suite includes 4 different plug-ins:
- CREAM Channel-strip;
- CREAM PRE (Preamps standalone module);
- CREAM EQ (Equalizer standalone module);
- CREAM COMP (Compressor standalone module);
For each plugin included in there is also a “Standard” version or an alternative “ZL*” version which operates at *zero latency at the cost of extra processing resources and is thus suitable for use when tracking.

CORE 13
Cream2 is based on our Core 13 engine:
- Our Core 13 engine improves on the previous version by introducing our new VLA™ technology (Vector Loading Acceleration), which makes the response of the plugin much faster.
- Upgraded SASM (Symmetric & Asymmetric Saturation Modeling) high-performance saturation algorithm;
- Introduction of a new post-production sample de-noising tech for cleaner deconvolved impulses called STT (Super transient technology);
- Full compatibility with Client/Server architecture integrated by default in Acqua plugins;
- Engine optimization introducing a new highly efficient algorithm. This innovative technique is applied to all the deconvolved impulses for further de-noise processing and subsequent elimination of any incorrect low-level behavior (including the so-called "echo bug").
- Available sample rates: 44.1kHz | 96kHz
