Wes AudiongTubeComp Stereo Vari-mu Compressor

Wes Audio ngTubeComp

The ngTubeComp from Wes Audio is a variable-mu stereo tube compressor with comprehensive digital recall and automation, bringing the timeless and sweet sound of analog vari-mu compression to modern digital workflows. This next generation outboard processor provides your studio with the best of both worlds: fully analog tube compression and saturation under digital control. With the tonally rich harmonic character vari-mu designs are known for now seamlessly integrated with modern DAW workflows, the ngTubeComp ensures every mix is delivered at professional quality without sacrificing the speed that modern workflows demand.

Experience the fine tuned craftsmanship of Wes Audio's stunning analog sound with the ngTubeComp's comprehensive dynamics control. Adjust compression behavior with attack and release controls, and fine tune your gain staging with independent input and output controls. Rather than leaning into a single sound, the ngTubeComp features adjustable THD control from subtle lift to bold coloration, and additional tube saturation for bringing out lush harmonic saturation. Side chain high pass filters and high shelf boosts on each channel helps tame low end rumble and dial in high frequency information. Through all these settings, you can choose either feedforward or classic feedbackward compression, and engage limit mode for an ultra-tight sound.

Completing Wes Audio's bold vision of next generation outboard processing, the ngTubeComp features numerous conveniences for the modern workflow to greatly enhance your studio process. A dual output design offers tube and transformer with an iron pad to deliver richly saturated tones, or the balanced output to keep things clean and clear. The unit can be used in dual-mono, stereo, or mid/side mode, perfect as a central workhorse for multiple studio tasks. Bypass switches and hardware a/b/c settings make it easy to check your work and audition between multiple setting positions. Finally, the ngTubeComp offers full digital control and automation, letting you effortlessly recall settings, quickly make changes without losing your perfect take, and automate everything from a DAW. For the perfect blend of analog glory and digital convenience, the ngTubeComp from Wes Audio is here to take your studio workflow into the next generation.
