With the release of the the Tube-Tech CL 1B plug-in, emulation is being redefined by Tube-Tech and Softube. The CL 1B plug-in is based upon highly advanced patented component emulation technology, and brings the legendary analogue sound of the CL 1B compressor/limiter to the native plug-in platforms. The CL 1B plug-in provides up to 30dB of gain and a continuously variable threshold ranging from 2.1 to 10.1. For amazingly smooth, rich compression, the CL 1B is a great choice.

Softube Tube-Tech CL 1B Plug-in at a Glance:
  • Responds just like the hardware box
  • Great sound
Responds just like the hardware box

The CL 1B features innovative attack/release controls, with three different settings, enabling the CL 1B to be used as an insert- or bus compressor. The Sidechain/Link button in the stereo instance of the CL 1B plug-in emulates the dynamic master/slave relationship between the left and right channels, a feature usually found when having two units interconnected via the Sidechain Bus found on the hardware version of the CL 1B. An ability unique to the CL 1B plugin is the advanced metering, capable of displaying the left channel, the right channel or both channels.

Great sound

Tube-Tech CL 1B is a true studio classic, heard on tons and tons of records for the past 20 years. Like its hardware counterpart, the Tube-Tech CL 1B native plug-in sounds soft, smooth, groovy and can compress an insane amount ofdB's without sounding bad. The CL 1B plug-ins by Softube are the only Tube-Tech plug-ins that are fully endorsed by Tube-Tech. This version requires no DSP hardware but uses the same outstanding modeling technology and algorithms as the famous Tube-Tech CL 1B plug-in for TDM and PowerCore . The sound is of course just as fantastic as its predecessor. With this unprecedented accuracy, down to details such as the precise VU meter behavior, the Tube-Tech CL 1B plug-in is definitely in a league of its own.
