Glue your mix with transparent, musical compression using discrete ratio settings and parallel blending for controlled, cohesive depth.
The UA 175B & 176 Tube Compressor Collection is a pair of meticulous plug-in emulations of Universal Audio's legendary tube compressors from the 1960s, prized for their rich gain reduction character and sonic flexibility. The 175-B features a fixed 12:1 compression ratio optimized for limiting, while the 176 offers four selectable ratios (2:1, 4:1, 8:1, 12:1) for versatile dynamic control. Both models authentically emulate the original hardware's feedback compression circuit, tube amplifier saturation, and transformer coloration, enabling use as standalone tone boxes or full dynamic processors.
