Based on early 1950s designs, this model features a simple signal path with four variable-mu stages. It is the most "colored" of the three, offering a dense, natural compression that avoids the "thumping" common in vintage hardware at high gain reduction.
The (v1.5.0) stands as a landmark in digital audio processing, widely celebrated for bridging the gap between classic analog character and modern software flexibility. Developed over two years of intensive research, the MJUC provides a "time travel" through the evolution of tube compression by offering three distinct models in one interface.

Inspired by the complex 175 and 176 tube limiters from the early 1960s, this model is more "Rock'n'Roll". It includes a density switch and an interstage transformer option to reduce noise and accentuate compression. Based on early 1950s designs, this model features
The most transparent of the set, MkIII represents a modern approach to the variable-mu topology. It provides a clean, polished sound suitable for bus processing and mastering where subtle leveling is preferred over heavy saturation. Technical Refinements in v1.5.0 Developed over two years of intensive research, the
