KIT PLUGINS & NORMAN PETTY STUDIOS

Bringing the Iconic “Clovis Sound” to the Modern Studio.

Nashville-based music software company KIT Plugins is partnering with Norman Petty Studios of Clovis, New Mexico to preserve the iconic sounds of the legendary recording studio, the birthplace of the Clovis sound. Considered to be the most well-preserved vintage recording studio in the world, KIT is the first company to enter into a long-term, exclusive software collaboration with Norman Petty Studios.

As the developer of some of the industry’s best sounding plugins, KIT is developing a line of plugins modeled after the historic analog gear used by Pioneering Producer/Musician Norman Petty, which has largely remained untouched since 1969.

KIT Plugins - NP A67

“Pure vintage ‘50s and '60s tones on tap” - Recording Magazine

A meticulously modeled plug-in that emulates a custom-modified Altec 1567A tube mixer/preamp used at the legendary Norman Petty Studios in Clovis, New Mexico—the birthplace of the unmistakable “Clovis Sound” made famous by early recordings of Buddy Holly, Roy Orbison, and many more.

Bringing the warmth and color of ‘50s and ‘60s analog gear into modern DAWs, KIT’s NP A67 delivers rich tube warmth, musical saturation, natural compression, and subtle harmonic color—reborn as a modern preamp and EQ plug-in
