TESTIMONIAL

"One of the warmest, natural and most musical compressors I've ever heard. Buy it."

Jono Buchanan, Future Music, March 2010

"The CL 1B is a true compressor for all seasons. I found it perfect for any individual track from bass to vocals to drums because it is precisely adjustable and able operate perfectly for any kind of dynamic control from transparent and subtle to more typical compression chores with 2 to 6dB of peak compression and then all the way to major audio clamping with a striking, and colorful character. It's a big winner for me and is a major player in all my mixes from now on!"

Barry Rudolph, contributing editor for MIX Magazine and 'New Toys' columnist for L.A.'s Music Connection Magazine.

"A truly faithful and very exact replica of the hardware CL1B. Finally it's possible to experience natural musical compression in a plug-in"

John G. Petersen

Designer and president of Tube-Tech

"Overall, the CL 1B really is a fantastic compressor plug-in that's capable of both subtle containment and excellent audible colour."

"The CL-1B is now my first choice software compressor. I absolutely love it on vocals. But it also adds that special Tube-Tech warmth to bass, synths and drum busses."

Søren Balsner, Carpark North

"There are barely words to describe what I think about the CL1B plugin. The sonics are outstanding. The GUI is awesome. I thought it was just a picture until I started turning the knobs. I own hundreds and hundreds of plugins but... the CL1B plugin is the most accurate representation of a hardware that I have EVER seen."
