Tube-Tech CL 1B MkII Compressor

mid range push and so smooth

I love the sound of this compressor. It has all of the earmarks of the hardware but I can use more instantiations. It is very smooth with a mid range presence and a little more aggressive than a Summit. It really sounds quite beautiful.

My vocal compressor

I love the smoothness of this compressor on RnB and Rap vocals, you can hear when you’re over compressing. Game changer for me.

make it pop

extremely good for pop and hip hop vocals, I love it :)

Happy

Bundle of joy ( purchased on custom bundle) with Avalon. Totally satisfied, & I haven’t even delved deep as yet, studio setup just got a lot of love...

As close to hardware as you can get

Of all the plugins I own (from all manufacturers), this is one that is as close to the hardware as you can get. Very responsive and easy to use. If you've ever used a CL1B, you know that dialing in a balance between Att/Rel can go smoothly or extreme, but once you find the sweet spot, you're completely satisfied.

I like the two verison you get, it definitely has it own flavor. The legacy sound more beefy to me, while the MKII has more mid range when using the compressor. I have them both of different vocal chain, with different preamp and mic setting with the Townsend Labs Sphere. Cop it!

This one is for vocals.

Opto compressor but more on the modern & transparent side. This is now one of my go-to vocal compressors. Just a couple dB reduction during tracking sounds great.

Must have~!!!

You can find any professional studio, and all vocals need this~!!

Very good for vocals

Great warm sounding, but very sensitive.

SO TASTY

The new build is great. Really smooth and clear on male vocals, and adds the perfect amount of sparkle to any chain. GREAT!

The greatest compressor ever

I just simply can’t explain how much I love its sound!

Great Compressor Plugin.

I use it with my saxophone sound. It gives my saxophone sound warmer and more colourful, so it's easy to blend with other instruments. From now on, it will be on my saxophone track until I close the program!

Perfect Compressor for Vocals and Percussive Instrument

If you have a super smooth vocal sound and the sound need more grip inside the mix... with the CL 1B the vocal find its position in the mix! Drums and bass can also become perfect with this compressor. Perfect is the mix function for parallel compression!

Secret

This is my Swiss army knife

Love this Compressor!

I’m a big fan of the CL-1B and this plug in is really close. I’m not sure that it’s not as good as the analog piece. Love it! Smooth!

Incredible and smooth

This compressor is everything that the hype is about. I see what the craving for this piece is on vocals. Awesome!

컴프레서 제대로 써보시고 싶으시면 이겁니다.

보컬에 걸어보니 정말 소리가 찰지고 좋다. 이런 표현 영어로 못해서 한글로 쓴다. 이 리뷰 검수하는 사람들 번역기돌려도 제대로 번역이 안될텐데 아쉽다. 기타 연주자라 기타에도 사용해봤는데 훌륭하다.

Yes Sir!

Finaly what my vocals needed.

Love it on vocals !

Got the demo and instantly fell in love with this plugin ! Go to for sure !

Amazing compressor

This is such a great sounding compressor. I love it on vocals and room mics on drums and acoustic guitar and piano. It has this wonderful warmth to it.
