Tube-Tech CL 1B

Softube

The Tube-Tech CL 1B is a dynamics compressor plugin that faithfully models the hardware original's unique gain-reduction circuit based on non-semiconductor components. It features an Attack/Release Select switch offering Fixed, Manual, and combined FIX./MAN. modes, with the latter enabling program-dependent release slopes where fast peaks trigger faster release times. The plugin delivers both transparent and characterful compression across a wide range of sources.
