The WesAudio ngTubeComp is a next-generation vari-mu valve compressor that seamlessly blends classic analogue warmth with modern digital control. Designed for professional audio applications, it offers a fully analogue signal path with an impressive 26dBu headroom, ensuring pristine sound quality with rich, musical dynamics. Featuring six valves and four transformers, the ngTubeComp delivers the unmistakable tonal character associated with high-end valve compression.
This compressor provides three distinct operational modes: dual mono for independent channel processing, stereo for balanced signal control, and mid-side for precise spatial adjustments. Its dual output options include a valve-driven stage with a Carnhill transformer for warm, saturated tones and an electronically balanced output for a cleaner, more transparent sound. Additionally, an integrated valve saturation circuit adds harmonic depth, while the adjustable total harmonic distortion (THD) control allows for fine-tuning coloration to suit any mix.
The WesAudio ngTubeComp features variable attack and release settings, offering flexibility in compression behaviour, along with advanced side-chain capabilities, including a high-pass filter, high-shelf boost, and a listen mode for refined dynamic shaping. Users can switch between feedback mode for a traditional analogue response, feed-forward mode for modern precision, and limit mode for tighter dynamic control.
With full digital integration, the WesAudio ngTubeComp can be controlled via a DAW plug-in, enabling instant recall and automation, making it an indispensable tool for engineers seeking the best of both analogue and digital workflows. This combination of heritage sound and modern flexibility makes the ngTubeComp a powerful solution for shaping sound with authenticity and ease.
