The Tube-Tech CL 1B MkII plug-in by Softube brings a refreshed version of the iconic optical compressor to UAD hardware and UA Audio Interfaces. Renowned for its warm tube sound, this compressor has been favored by top artists such as Kanye West, Rihanna, and Jennifer Lopez. The MkII update incorporates advanced component modeling and signal processing technology, delivering a deeply authentic emulation that faithfully captures the character and depth of the original hardware unit.

This updated compressor offers enhanced control and flexibility with selectable attack and release settings, including Fixed, Manual, and combined modes. It excels at shaping dynamics across various sources, whether gently smoothing vocals or adding punch to drums and guitars. The addition of Parallel Compression allows effortless blending of compressed signals for a natural feel, while the Sidechain Low Cut feature prevents low frequencies from triggering unwanted compression, preserving clarity and punch in your mixes.

Beyond sonic improvements, the Tube-Tech CL 1B MkII features modernized high-resolution graphics designed for optimal clarity, especially on 4K and Ultra HD displays. This combination of refined sound, versatile controls, and eye-catching interface makes the plug-in an essential tool for producers and engineers seeking the classic tube compressor sound with contemporary enhancements.
