About SOLAR VST

Measured in circuits.

SOLAR VST is a boutique plugin studio dedicated to one thing: recreating the exact electronic behavior of vintage hardware from the 1970s and 1980s, with no shortcuts.

Every plugin begins with the original schematics. We trace the signal path component by component, model the nonlinearities, the thermal drift, the harmonic character, until the digital version is indistinguishable from the real machine.

We ship when it's right, not when it's fast. Small team. High standards. No compromises.
