Description
Analog Rack Cleaner is a rack-style filter effect from Nembrini Audio that combines high-pass and low-pass filtering with a modeled tube preamp circuit. It gives guitarists and other producers a compact way to trim unwanted frequency extremes while adding an analog-inspired character.
The high-pass filter can remove low-frequency rumble, while the low-pass filter reduces unwanted high-frequency noise. Adjust the cutoffs to suit the recording: removing too much of either end can also change the body or brightness of the desired sound.
The modeled tube circuit provides another tonal option alongside the filters. A Plugins4Free user describes it as a high-pass and low-pass effect with optional saturation, making it useful when you want a simple filtering workflow rather than a full equalizer.
Nembrini lists desktop VST2, VST3, AAX and AudioUnits support for compatible hosts, with Windows and macOS requirements on its product page. The developer also offers an iOS edition; check the relevant installer and compatibility information before adding it to a session.

No. Cleaner uses high-pass and low-pass filters; Nembrini offers a separate Analog Rack Noise Gate.
Can I use it on sources other than guitar?
The filters can be applied to other recorded sources in a compatible host. Adjust the cutoffs to avoid removing useful parts of the recording.
