No plugin suggested. A one-off preamp built by hand for the engineer; nothing about its circuit is documented, so no plugin can fairly stand in for it.

Disclosure: plugin links currently go straight to the maker and earn us nothing. If that changes, affiliate links will be marked here. Suggestions are chosen on fit, never on commission, and are kept separate from the recording facts. More.
