VTC-2

About

VTC-2 is a dynamics plugin by Black Rooster Audio. The VTC-2 is a dynamics plugin with a modelled Class-A 12AX7 tube gain stage for controlling level. It is modelled on tube leveling amplifiers from the 1950s to the 1970s, with a Drive control for saturation and grease. Its controls include Threshold, Ratio from 2:1 to 20:1, attack and release, Trim within ±24dB, and a Mix knob for parallel compression.

What it sounds like

The tube stage saturates smoothly and its warm spectrum changes with how hard the signal is driven.
