VIKING 1 - Emulation based on a TUBE TECH CL-1B compressor

Short Code:VIKING 1
Type: Valve / Tube
Long Code: DANISH CLASSIC TUBE 1
Original Unit Sampled: TUBE TECH CL-1B compressor

The TUBE-TECH CL-1B Compressor is an optical, tube-based compressor. It features a gain-reduction element, positioned immediately after the input transformer and is controlled by the sidechain amplifier, which also contains the two time control circuits - one for fixed and one for variable Attack/Release. The gain-reduction element is followed by a tube-based push-pull amplifier. Throughout the years and many recordings, the CL-1B has proven its value by adding that sought-after vintage warmth.

The TUBE-TECH CL 1B Compressor features a gain-reduction element, positioned immediately after the input transformer. It is controlled by the sidechain amplifier, which also contain the two time control circuits – one for fixed and one for variable Attack/Release. The two time-controllers can either be used separately or combined. This circuit contains semiconductor OP-amps for the entire control.

The gain-reduction element is followed by a tube-based push-pull amplifier with variable gain up to 30 dB. A dedicated Bus selector with three positions (Off, Bus 1, Bus 2) is used whenever you want to link several compressors together. Input and output transformers have a static-screen between the primary and secondary wirings. Both Input and Output are balanced as well as fully floating.
