The Softube CL 1B Emulation Is Accurate Down To The Last Component!

Tube-Tech CL 1B is a true studio classic, heard on tons and tons of records for the past 20 years. Like its hardware counterpart, the Tube-Tech CL 1B native plug-in sounds soft, smooth, groovy and can compress an insane amount of dB's without sounding bad.

The CL 1B plug-ins by Softube are the only Tube-Tech plug-ins that are fully endorsed by Tube-Tech.

This version requires no DSP hardware but uses the same outstanding modeling technology and algorithms as the famous Tube-Tech CL 1B plug-in for TDM and PowerCore (distributed by TC Electronic). The sound is of course just as fantastic as its predecessor. With this unprecedented accuracy, down to details such as the precise VU meter behaviour, the Tube-Tech CL 1B plug-in is definitely in a league of its own.

The Softube team discovered early on that the human ear ignores many of the fine sonic details found in traditional models, and instead zeroes in on the crazy stuff, which the ear finds pleasing. In musicianspeak, it’s why so much of the coolest gear has tubes. So modeling the non-linearities of tubes, speakers, spring reverbs, power amps, and the like, was the natural musical path to follow. The end result of those studies was a significant body of proprietary, patented technology, and the subsequent formation of Softube. Since its founding in 2003, the Softube team has worked behind the scenes developing products for a number of highly-respected companies. Now they’re delivering a series of high-end, high-quality plug-ins under the Softube brand.

"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

"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."

Compression controls

  • Gain: Up to +30 dB of make-up gain
  • Ratio: Continuous ratio control from 2:1 to 10:1
  • Threshold: Continuous threshold control from +20 dB to -40 dB
  • Attack: From 0.5 to 300 milliseconds
  • Release: From 0.05 to 10 seconds

Attack/release select

The Tube-Tech CL 1B features a unique attack/release switch. The switch has three different positions:

  • Fixed: In the fixed mode, the attack time is set to 1 millisecond and the release is set to 50 milliseconds
  • Manual: In the manual mode, the attack and release controls work as normal
  • Fix./man: In the fix./man. mode, the release control works as in manual mode. The attack, however, is fixed to a fast attack and the attack knob turns into a delay for the release time.

Sidechain bus select

Setting the Sidechain bus select to 'external' lets you - you guessed it! - use an external sidechain.

Meter options

At your disposal is an old school VU meter capable of showing three different things.

  • Input: The VU meter shows the input level
  • Compression: The VU meter shows the amount of gain reduction
  • Output: The VU meter shows the output level
