This is for your soul

Dive into the smooth world of the Amped Elektra. The Amped Elektra was inspired by the Hohner Electra, recorded from a completely restored one and reamped through three vintage amps. Its distinctive, beautifully warm and funky sound can be the soul of every Funk, (Neo) Soul and Jazz production.

The idea behind Amped Elektra

While strolling through a studio, equipped with vintage e-pianos, Sebastian Breiter, sound designer at Steinberg, came across the Hohner Electra and fell in love with its unique, unheard-of, sonorous and musical sound. The Hohner Electra was built in the ’70s and is sonically related to the Wurlitzer and Rhodes, with bands like Led Zeppelin using it for their recordings. It is an insider tip and is now experiencing its rebirth through the Amped Elektra. The Electra’s DI signal was not only recorded at the YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! Studios in Hamburg, but was also sent through three vintage tube amps, giving the Amped Elektra an even more soulful, warm and characterful sound.

The three recorded amps

The Tower

The Tower, an extremely rare vintage tube amp from the ’50s with an incredibly voluminous, warm sound, recorded with a Sennheiser MD 441.

Customized impulse responses

The additional impulse responses for the Amped Elektra were created with specially selected vintage gear to add some extra character on the reverb section. So, you can use chamber, spring or plate reverbs designed with the help of classical units like the EMT 240 “Goldfolie”, a beautiful Lexicon 224, the AKG BX5 or the Roland Chorus Echo RE-501.
