High-end Vari-Mu compressor for mastering and tracking.

Single channel valve compressor with 53dB of Gain, tighter compression, three band EQ, phantom power and pad. Doubles up as a unique channel strip

The TUBE-TECH CL 1B Compressor features a gain-reduction element, positioned immediately after the input transformer. It is controlled by the sidechain amplifier, which also contain the two time control circuits one for fixed and one for variable Attack/Release. The two time-controllers can either be used separately or combined. This circuit contains semiconductor OP-amps for the entire control.

The TUBE-TECH CL 2A Dual Compressor features two independent optical compressors. The optical gain reduction element is placed after the input transformer and then followed by an all tube-based output amplifier with a +10 dB gain. A switch with three positions (Link 1, Off, Link 2) is used whenever you want to use the two separate compressors in stereo mode or link several compressors together. The two link busses are identical.

The 1176 is based on the E&F versions of the black faced original, with the sole addition of XLR I/O as well as the original screw in terminals. This is the one to make your vocals sit, king on guitar, magic on bass and stunning on drums.
