Tube-Tech CL 1B Mk II is a premier optical tube compressor plugin developed by Softube in official partnership with Tube-Tech (and available natively as well as via Universal Audio platforms). Based on the world-renowned hardware compressor, the plugin is a modern studio standard renowned for delivering buttery smooth, musical dynamic control without destroying the transient clarity or top-end sparkle of the original performance. It is widely considered the industry-standard vocal compressor across hip-hop, R&B, pop, and rock productions.

The Mk II update features a complete ground-up signal processing remodel using modern modeling technology, providing improved low-end depth and high-resolution graphics. It retains the hardware's unique Fixed/Manual/Combined Attack & Release modes alongside a built-in Generation Switch that lets you toggle between the original Mk I and updated Mk II sonic algorithms. Modern workflow enhancements include a Low Cut sidechain filter (80 Hz / 220 Hz) and a dedicated wet/dry Mix knob for parallel compression. Tube-Tech CL 1B Mk II is a paid plugin requiring an iLok account and is available in 64-bit VST, VST3, AU, and AAX formats for Windows (7/8/10/11) and macOS (10.9+ with full Intel and Apple Silicon support).
