A new take on a vintage channel strip. The Classic Channel is not your everyday channel strip, with a surgical equalizer and fast bus compressor. The Classic Channel is a vintage style and warm sounding channel strip put together from the most famous and classic Tube-Tech gear.

"The CL1B plugin is the most accurate representation of a hardware that I have EVER seen."

Tony Shepperd
(Madonna, Faith Hill, Whitney Houston, Lionel Richie, Elton John, Back Street Boys, etc.)

With the two Pultec-style equalizers you can shape the sound of a track, a bus or a mix within seconds. The highs sounds smooth and gentle, the mid-range airy and focused, and the lows full and fat, almost at any setting. Add the final touch with the never bad-sounding CL 1B compressor. Forget about precise and minute tweaks with 0.1 dB read-outs. The Classic Channel is about the good sound, and the way to get there is easy. Just turn the knobs and you'll see.

The combination of these three units, the PE 1C "Pultec" equalizer, the ME 1B mid-range equalizer and CL 1B opto-compressor, makes the Classic Channel a powerful tool to get some warmth into your mix.

In Short
"[The PE 1C] is just like the hardware. Really good. It sounds really smooth and musical."

Rob Chiarelli
(Leann Rimes, Aaliyah, Ray Charles, Will Smith, Christina Aguilera, etc.)

PE 1C "Pultec" EQ for the High and Low Frequencies

Use the famous PE 1C to set the highest and lowest frequencies. More info about the Tube-Tech PE 1C.

 
ME 1B Mid-Range EQ for Focus and Presence

The ME 1B is a godsend for getting a modern and focused vocal sound or that extra bite in the guitar track. More info about the Tube-Tech ME 1B.

 
CL 1B Opto Compressor for that Extra Punch

The CL 1B is a true studio classic, used on everything from acoustic guitar and strings to rap vocals. More info about the Tube-Tech CL 1B.

 
Bypass and Routing Panel

Bypass any unit to save CPU. Route the EQ before the compressor (the old school way) or the other way around (modern).
