Tube-Tech CL 1B
Overview & parameters
1 - In switch
CL 1B has two bypass functions. The IN switch activates/deactivates the processing,
but leaves the meter functions working. Using the IN switch to bypass the plug-in, the
plug-in is still loaded onto the PowerCore DSPs and the CL 1B can therefore instantly
be switched in and out.
2 - Gain
The gain control is used to compensate for the gain loss during compression. It is
placed after the gain-reduction section and therefore it has no influence on the
threshold setting. The gain control is continuously variable from off to +30 dB.
3 - Ratio
The ratio control varies the ratio by which the input signal is compressed. If the ratio
set to 2:1, and the input signal increases 10 dB, the output signal is only increased
by 5 db. The ratio control is continuously variable from 2:1 to 10:1.
4 - Threshold
When the signal is above the set threshold point, the compressor is activated and the
gain of any signal above the Threshold point is processed according to the ratio,
attack and release settings.
5/6 - Meter
Input: The VU-meter displays the input level.
Compression: The VU-meter displays the gain reduction. The meters neutral position is
at "0 VU", and the amount of compression is shown as a decrease in dB.
Output: The VU-meter displays the output level.
