Shattered Glass Audio has released the SGA1566 for Mac and Windows. They say that you can use SGA1566 to add warmth to a track, as a saturation compressor, or to add "dirt" with tube overdrive.

A spokesperson told us, "SGA1566 is loosely based on a single channel vintage tube preamplifier. We have made some changes to the original schematic, added tone controls, and made it stereo. To achieve the most authentic analog sound, the whole circuit is simulated in real time using the high performance circuit simulator. However, this level of sound fidelity comes at a price of high CPU utilization. For cases where such a CPU hit is prohibitive, we have added a model that is significantly less CPU intensive but slightly less accurate than the circuit simulation."
