Heritage Audio has introduced a new optical tube compressor effect plugin for Windows and Mac. Bringing the classic compression of its hardware counterpart, the Tubesessor plugin delivers unique tube saturation and side-chain filtering options.
The unique TUBESESSOR’s Tube Saturation section perfectly recreates the hardware’s creamy-sounding new-old-stock Raytheon double triode tube to punch up signals with everything from a subtle edge to a full-on tube driven fuzz. Let’s just say that you haven’t lived until you hear what the TUBESESSOR can do with drums, guitars, and other instruments!
The addition of five internal side-chain filter settings allows for previously unheard options in the plugin realm for creating space in a mix, unmasking competing sounds and adding groove to shady tracks.
Tubesessor features
- All tube-based amplification stage and transformer-balanced input and outputs modeled to perfection.
- Tube Saturation section.
- Extensive Attack and Release control.
- 5 Side-chain Filter settings at 80, 160, 1k, 3k and 5k.
- Big, informative VU meter.
- Large, user-friendly and ultra satisfying GUI.

Tubesessor is available in VST3, AU and AAX plugin formats, priced 99 USD/EUR at Plugin Boutique and from the Heritage Audio store.
